Title: Lightening cuts
Post by: Tvchance on May 28, 2018, 01:24:16 PM

It was my understanding (And I could be absolutely wrong on this) that bolts without lightening cuts were strictly made for the commercial/export market... Is this accurate? Thanks, Guys!

I have a few that are in full military configuration without lightening cuts, it's not just exclusive to commercial variants, it was a time and labor saving thing in later production rifles used in some different factorys.

Such as... a Chinese Public Security thumb1

The lightening cuts went away in 1966 starting with the 11 mil series and forward.
