There is no problem with gas traveling up the leftside bolt rail since there is a precise fit between shroud and the receiver.
When have I ever said the shroud was anything but a cosmetic feature. Your baffle comment has me baffled, have you shown me visual evidence of a ruptured cartridge case in a Tikka ? No you have not , but you have mentioned plastic,triggers ad nauseam.
Read your quote above... you wrote, "There is no problem with gas traveling up the leftside bolt rail since there is a precise fit between shroud and the receiver."
First you write that the shroud is cosmetic, then say it stops gas moving rearward! Which is it?
i am not going over this again ever. The Bolt shroud is cosmetic, name how many times you have seen one blown off because of gas traveling up the left lug raceway ? If this is such an issue where are all the pic's? Oh I know....................there are none.
P.S. I don't believe your little story about the 5 tikkas or the trigger issue you had with one. Not even a little.
Now time to putt your azz on ignore
