Ha first one they made in 2023.
I'll take it.
My first one is from 1988.
They had not thought of doing black nitride back in those days.
I can't say definitively that the black nitride makes the new bolt slicker than the old non-nitrated bolts. But it doesn't hurt.
I actually sent my 1988 Panda back to them a couple years ago. And had a right port added
Did the black stuff then and just have added it to any I buy now or any of my old actions I have them redo.
A good lube like TSI - 301 will slick up a Panda enough you will be hard pressed to tell if there there's nitride on it or not..
As a side note I took a short range BR rifle built in 1988 sent it in. And kelbelys modified it with an extra port and a new bolt.
Find someone else to do that..

Only accurate rifles are interesting.
