Poorly machined bolt face, will it affect accuracy? Brass?
I bought a really nice Husqvarna 1600 in 30.06. But the bolt face looks super rough. Very rough. Will it affect accuracy, brass, other things?

That looks bad enough to cause issues with the brass after firing. You would have to shoot it to see if if affects how it shoots but I would think it would.

Doubt it will hurt accuracy, but I’m worried somebody took a Dremel to the bolt face, which could mess up the rifles headspace.
I’d have the headspace checked, and if ok, I’d buy a box of Federal blue box 180’s and see how it shoots.

Headspace
Im more suspect to why it was done? Does not look factory to me, worse case scenario someone put a new barrel on it and decided to headspace it by the bolt face? Who knows? I would check headspace with guages, if its good, shoot away.
Any work you do cleaning that bolt face will result in a headspace change. How much would depend on how much material is removed.
Ah Dick got it!

Whatever the reason that is not good. Could have been Bubba head space, cleaning up blown primer damage, stuck case damage etc. My advice would be
to take it in and have the gun examined for over pressure damage, have the bolt face cleaned up and the head space checked.

Looks like the bolt was a bit loose in the fixture or the cutter was a bit loose when that one was machined. Cutter may have been dull also. If anyone had trued it up it there's a 99.99% chance it would have been done on a lathe, not a mill.
Shouldn't hurt anything. How does the brass look after firing?

It definitely not pretty. Shouldn’t bother accuracy. It maybe possible to clean it up .
2 things may occur if one does
1 headspace will be changed - maybe excessive
2 it may loosen the hold the extractor has on the case against bolt face and cause poor ejection

He clearly doesn't want to say, nor would I. The seller obviously took the gun back with no problems so why slag or out him on here. Selling any amount of used guns the seller may have never looked close enough at the bolt to notice the issue. He made it right so what's the problem?

Wow..birds of a feather. Negativity is astounding. One thing is for certain. Learning what a few guys on this board are all about. Shameful to jump to conclusions. When dealing with some retailers you may have to be a bit more diligent regardless of opinion. Some shops are far more astute and knowledgable.
Perhas minding your own business if you have nothing positive to add would be in order.

Perhaps I am not jumping to conclusions or assuming too much. I didn't respond the first time u asked and neither did the OP or anyone else. You asked the second time, so that is why I responded. The OP owes u nothing, if he is satisfied with the seller then it is plain and simply none of you business. If anyone is sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong it is u and I did not see a single thing positive that u added to this thread. At least the rest of us tried to help answer the OPs original question.

Delusional. Don't respond if u can't keep it positive. Grow up and let free speech discussion continue. Is the OP in your face 24 / 7? Goodness. Simple question stop creating problems.
