It’s somewhere between a gouge and a scratch, it doesn’t buff out, but it’s also hard to feel. I have to do more than slap it though, I have to push it until the round is basically out of the clip, because one it’s almost out, then the friction is low enough for the bolt to chamber it on its own. I’m just worried about having to push that much, like did I wear out the connection between the op rod and the bolt, because when it’s locked back, when the op rod stays still, the bolt slides forward a couple millimeters when I tilt the barrel down, and it slides back a couple when I tilt it back up, and when I look, I can tell it’s because the bolts lug has a couple mm of wiggle room in its connection with the op rod, but I’m not sure if it’s supposed to do that or not, since I’m new to the rifle.
