[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 2251507, member: 101755"] To be honest, I have; 3- 6.5 Grendel's (had 5 at one time) 3- 7.62x39 (had 4 different ones over the years) 1- 6MMS ARC 1- 5.56 (can't even begin to tell you how many over the years) 1- 300BO (had 2 more but gave them to son-in-laws) 3- 6.8 but they are all gone (gave them to my son-in-laws) So far...zero broken bolts. My next range trip I will most likely break one, but to date none! I dont do any high rate of fire, but I do shoot them a lot...A LOT! When I go to range I will have two AR's with me. When reloading supplies were more stable, I used the go once a week. I've cut back to once a month. Hunt nearly exclusively with my 7.62x39 AR and my wife hunts with a 6.5 Grendel about 50% of the time. I feel the bolt issue was poor design, I know both the 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel had bolt issues early in their inception, but I'm pretty sure it not very common any more. [/QUOTE]
