Why is that?I consider a fluted bolt to be a negative. I would pay someone to swap it for a standard bolt. So, for my that makes the value worse.

It provides more ways for water, mud, dust, and ice to get ino the action.Why is that?
Thanks for the information, had not considered that aspect of it.It provides more ways for water, mud, dust, and ice to get ino the action.
Me either.Thanks for the information, had not considered that aspect of it.
Would you mind linking them?There have been demonstrations of a fluted vs non fluted bolt where a handful of dirt is placed on the ejection port and the bolt cycled - flutes give the grit someplace to go and the non fluted bolt binds up.
I don’t think it matters either way - in 45 years I’ve never had a noticeable amount of crud on the bolt.
