How do you tell a bolt has been proofd and MPed (without marking) I got a few Stag arms bolts but I am not sure they are proofed as they are very clean. |
Most bolt and other parts are not individually MP tested or proofed. That would take way too long and would be impossibly expensive. They do this in batches, taking samples to make sure quality maintained through the maufacturing process. You can pay extra, as I think you are implying, to have your new bolt MP tested. Usually these bolts are electro-penciled "MP'd", but that is all there might be and there may be no physical proof that it was in fact MP tested. To a degree, this is like paying extra for "hand select." You'll never know if it was really done, so thet best thing you can do is go with a trusted dealer. |
