During the landing roll, the airplane departed the runway following a collapse of the right main landing gear. The right main landing gear axle bolt, part number AN10-46A, that attached the landing gear axle to the right main landing gear assembly was found separated from the axle. According to the FAA inspector, the bolt exhibited physical evidence of stripped threads, and the bolt hole at the landing gear axle did not exhibit deformation. The maintenance history for the bolt and the landing gear could not be determined.
