So I got my +4 rollers installed and now have a healthy bolt gap of around 0.14. What I was wondering is how long can I expect this to last? I understand there are various factors that play into it, but does anyone have any ballpark figure round counts for how quickly your the bolt gap diminishes?

Kwanger, here is my experience with a Century built Cetme. It seems that once you replace parts, such as the rollers, bolthead and locking piece there is some initial settling. This holds more true for a rifle that hasn't been fired before you change the parts. On my Cetme I think I lost .002 whne I changed everything out and then fired about 100 rounds through it. After that it settled out and didn't close any more.

I also lost about .001 to .002 after breaking in brand new parts. Hasn't changed in several hundred rounds since the "Settling In" on both CETME's. I installed new bolt heads and locking pieces.
