If you haven't already, I suggest reviewing various R&D-related areas of the AFTE website (https://afte.org/resources/research-development), unpublished research database, and Research Design Assistance Subcommittee.

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a PhD topic on shooting scene reconstruction 
I really want this project to be not just academic, but applicable in the field. As I'm already a firearm examiner, I have access to a lot of resources and I'm not restricted by academic constraints.
I already have an idea in my head that I'm working on, but I would love to hear your ideas.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Mylène

Yes, just in front of the rifling, there is a heavy set of ring-marks.

Very nice cast, Kirk. These rifles often had a "ringed" or "stepped" neck. Is that the case with the rifle you have?

Saw this interesting bolt the other day and thought I would share. I checked the other AK-type rifles in our collection and did not see this style of bolt.
There is an elevated portion of the bolt face that left a heavy impression onto the headstamp portion of the case head.
This is from a Izhmash Saiga rifle in 223 Remington.
