So did G-d. It's called a finger.
Bolt over ride is a failure to feed. Brass over bolt is a failure to eject.
Specifically, bolt over ride is when the bolt slams home without stripping a round our of the mag. This is the typical malfunction induced when people don't get mags seated.
Knowing your weapon it's faults and how to overcome them is a primary skill set. With out the ability to keep your weapon running your value is questionable at best.
I get the verbiage, but I've heard several pro guys refer to brass stuck between the CH and bolt as bolt over ride and call a forward bolt with no stripped round a simple misfeed.Quote:

They're wrong.Quote:
