Here are the pictures of my bolt. Can you please let me know if you notice anything
abnormal? I would like to know if the wear on the camming lug is normal.
I'm concerned about the area of the camming lug where the small piece of metal appears to be missing.

this question comes up often

it's fine.

the camming lug and the camming surfaces in the carrier are almost never a perfect match from the factory. after a while the surfaces break in and the progression of that wear point will cease, and the action will be a lot smoother as well

Looks like a beaver chewed on it. Now I have to go look at mine....

You can always stone off the burrs if they bother you, but they won’t affect function.

AK bolts are soft but tough. Surface flaws don’t usually lead to cracking like high alloy steels can be prone to.
