I would have thought the bolt without the the extra guide groove in lug should not fit the later 223 action with extra rib?
But a later bolt should go into an older action with no extra rib.

Yes - I can run the bolt (with guide cut) out of my late model stainless 223 in my older no bolt guide action

Yes i agree, hence why i think my rifle must have had a later model replacement bolt fitted at some point, i'll have to repeat the test with another of the rifles with the slot in the lug
