| I prefer an enclosed bolt such as an Automag, Angel, or Shocker. Granted I do have exposed bolt markers, and haven't noticed them being dirtier at the end of the day, but it is better safe then sorry. That and to me, something like the Angels rotobreech is just so much more elegant than a pin in the bolt.
That being said I prefer closed bolt (as in firing position) due to the fact that Detents are not really required for proper operation, and many detents are a wear item and I think it is best to avoid wear items in design. |
