[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2050953, member: 111161"] The bolt issue has been blown out of proportion. There are several manufacturers making high quality bolts nowadays. You want one made of 9310 AQ steel and not nitrided, as the process makes them too brittle. I have a Young manufacturing bolt (chrome) and a JP enterprises Bolt (DLC) that are both going strong after over 1000 rounds apiece. And I’m not scared to step on the gas with my loads. One thing I will add is an adjustable gas block to tune the system to run properly helps tremendously. I’ve also noticed that full weight (standard carbine or heavier) buffers help brass life with stiff loads. Tried the 3 gun style light buffer with gas turned down and brass got chewed up pretty bad even though it was ejecting properly at 4 o’clock. [/QUOTE]
