Don't overestimate my bank account. I am an actual Jew now. I agree with you 100%, but this a beater NEA AR. It got thrown in the Waitaki once thanks to the dog and I had to wade around looking for it.

I can't see any sign of damage that might kill me. Bit of a risk the pitting on the bolt will damage the receiver but I think it will be now I got all the raised bits off. If I fire it and gas goes everywhere then I will get a new BCG.

Pitting is all external. The little rotating bolt head/piston thing is unmarked.

I actually like it better now. This rifles role in life is to go bang when I want it to and to not bother me with things like not getting scratched.
