I've got a Model 11 with a cracked bolt at the semi-circular cutouts. It's possible someone was shooting heavy loads/slugs (scope installed) without changing the friction ring settings.
I've started looking for a replacement bolt which may be expensive.
I wonder: are any bolts from other similar shotguns compatible: such as the Savage 720, Browning A5?
Any other reasons that could cause this?
The fiber washer is still present and intact. It's not exactly cushy but I suspect they never are.
