Nope, I'd say the plastic T-3 shroud would end up in your face but a steel or aluminum one may work just fine dealing with whatever gas gets into the bolt body from a pierced primer.

One advantage of the cheap Savage 110 action is that the back of the bolt is completely blocked by the bolt assembly screw.


The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea.
I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.
