Do MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected) bolts typically retain any residual magnetism.

I have a Bushmaster which still has a small amount remaining (ie. lifting paper clips), and a BCM bolt without any magnetism at all.

Perhaps the shot peening BCM performs is a factor.

I know the knowledgable folks here could answer.

Thanks,

My BCM bolt doesn't.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere they are degaused (or supposed to be) after MPI.
