| I was thinking getting some spare parts, such as, extractor, extractor spring, and gas rings. Should I buy a complete bolt or parts. If complete bolt, any recomendation? I would like one that has excellent quality. Thanks. |

If you ever do break a bolt remember to strip it of useable spare parts too. Here is the whole carrier and bolt assembly after my recent bolt breakage. I didn't take pics of it, but I stripped the extractor/spring/buffer, and ejector and spring out of this one just in case.

I keep a spare bolt in a MIAD pistol grip so I always have it. I've never need it yet, but I did give it to a friend who had major FTEx during a rifle match after cleaning his bolt didn't improve anything. I do check the headspace on my spare bolts every year of so to make sure they are still within spec. BSW |
