PESCAHOLIC, too bad you did not take pictures if the receiver before you started, I can not remember seeing a rifle with an uglier finish. I do not know if what I am looking at is caused by hot high pressure metal cutting gas, I would suggest you figure a way to turn the camera around to take a picture of the bolt face. If you are experiencing gas cutting it will show up on the bolt face.
