(I already know the answer) Kinda been bugging me after looking at it again wensday. Been their 2 or 3 months Customers dont know what it is for the most part. Sitting in a tacticool shop on consignment. Bolt face compression? I cant explain as well as this But looking for tiny hair iine cracks and kinda a slight dimpled bowl curvature appearance of the bolt face sinking into and around the firing pin hole. Smack Mark's on bottom of bolt knob where someone been wailing on it. Cut copy paste stuff below I found alot of stuff on em years ago when I was working on slumlords and researching on em. Because there is so much bolt in between the lugs and the boltface that area can compress/bend during recoil. When the bolt flexes the headspace increases, the brass expands to fill the chamber, and when the bolt decompresses the case holds the bolt lugs in a bind against the abutments in the receiver, because the brass is now oversized. Then the shooter tries to hammer open the bolt with a chunk of 2x4 or a deadblow hammer, and the handle breaks off. It is essentially the same effect as a stuck case only longitudinally as opposed to latitudinally. The 788s in .308 by all accounts seem to have the biggest problem with this. Just know that a 788 will not take as much pressure successfully as other bolt actions (700,70, et al).
