Is the SOG Aegis a well rounded knife when it comes to stabbing and slashing?
Not really,The Aegis has a Zytel handle , with OUT stainless steel linersSo the handle is basically plasticIt should be considered a pocket knife, great for cutting, but you do not want to torque the bladeA better choice from SOG at the same price , would be the Flash II with Aluminum Handle Be careful, most Flash ll's come with a Zytel handle , not an Aluminum Handle or the SOG Visionary , it is about $20 more, but has a VG-10 blade that's higher quality steel and has stainless steel liners in its Zytel handle 2Stainless steel liners are a must have, if you plan on really using the knife.
You have a blowback weaponSpring pressure is what stops your bolt's rearward movementThe constant use of HOT (hyper-velocity) ammo CAN cause the bolt of the rifle to hit the back of the receiver and damage itIt's like hitting it with a small hammer, and over time, can crack the receiverAn item called a bolt buffer can prevent thisThere is no set standard on what Hyper Velocity ammo actually isInspect the area where your receiver and bolt intersect and see if it has been damaged.
