Well, after closer examination there's a couple things that aren't extra pretty, but make no difference functionality wise. Not sure if his CNC? (I assume) went wild or it's just how he was able to make it work with his equipment, but notice in the pics that there's one strait cut, and one little "bonus area" carved away. I'm happy to have the extra material gone, and you can't see these cuts unless you remove the bolt from the gun.
-Ascent has much more aggressive cuts, and weighs the same as the hunter bolt with it's ti/carbon handle. Too bad we can't buy the ascent bolts! I would send a pic to Karl to see if he can copy the ascent fluting. I'd be happy to send him my ascent bolt if that helps, just let me know.
-it's tough to tell in the pic, but the ascent cuts are a lot deeper.
