I just looked at the bolt on my Mini-14 Ranch (195 series) and it shows just a little wear there. No hole. I don't anticipate one either, having fired approx 10,000 rounds and seeing what I see...
I also looked at the bolt on my Mini-THIRTY (196 series) and no wear there either. I wonder if it is actually a bolt quality control issue, or if it is actually attributable to wear. Possibly both...
Still, I doubt this would lead to an unsafe condition...
