Being this is before nickel steel and proper heat treating I suppose this could have been a pierced primer event and it flowed and "blowed" into bolt body and caused the result. Class C steel Springfield 1903's with the same steel and poor heat treating suffered like catastrophic failures.

I'll post here again when it's all done and give the feedback.
