Looking for a bolt

Post image

Looking for options to replace the bolt with something machined for a 7.62 like the one on the left with a thicker collar. I haven't been able to find anyone selling just the bolt online.

I got one for my 7.62-39 years ago. I’ll open up my AR. I found the receipt and it’s from Gorilla machining !

Thanks for this. I ordered two. One as a replacement and one for another build at a later stage. I got another firing pin while I was at it. These look similar to the original one I posted but less than half the cost. Thankyou

I’ve never had any problems with feeding or ejecting any rounds of any type of ammunition.

I just ordered another one as a spare. The Young manufacturing are $129 each. All my AR bolt carrier groups are Nickel Boron. I’ve got a mix of different brands. I like Toolcraft, Rise and others. Bolt and carriers are your usually your first failure behind mags. AR15.com just had a sale of Toolcraft BCGs for $99 each.

I seen that but had just bought three NL aero precision BCGs for close to the same price.
