The soft bolt condition may be very common. I was a metallurgist before retiring. In the late 60's I had access to a broken bolt as well as a blown receiver. The bolt head was not haardened. The receiver was very brittle, probably from "burnt steel" from over heating for forging as were some early 03's. The bolts I purchased in the 60's were used for the .219 Zipper and later in the target rifle. They had soft heads as did the used bolt in the Mannlicher before I had them hardened and tempered.
