Maybe RA Tech changed something or I got lucky.
Im hoping that RA-Tech actually made the revisions so that we can all reap the effects of having a steel bolt with minimal modifications required! I bought several steel bolts from Jugglez recently (im a gun doc and do upgrades and services for WE M4) and the height of the notch that pulls the hammer is the same height as the first bolts I purchased directly from RA-Tech. However, I noticed that they have grinded more on the edge at the bottom of the newer bolts. This is pretty obvious as the grinded edge is silver in color, and not the steel color. Im guessing that RA-Tech just machined this section on existing bolts. I didn't see any benefits from this though..
