Leadfarmer: Here's a response from Satern to a post here on the forum.
Here's another one that showed up also about an upper that was purchased at Midway USA with a Satern barrel:
I typed in " satern bolt problem" into the search engine just to see if I could find the posts last year.
This is a different problem than yours but I also saw last year people having other problems with their bolts.
Good luck.

Hi! If you have an issue with a bolt that accompanied a Satern barrel it would be a good idea to send it back to us and let us take a look at it and investigate the issue. Also send us all the information available such as: were you shooting factory loads or hand loads etc. and we will check into this. We get our bolts from several manufacturers so if there is a problem we need to discuss it with them as well. You can find all of our contact info on our website.
Thanks
Deb

Quote:I just bought it about a month ago. I wrote Satern, and they said that unfortunately that was a problem with all the bolts, and that Midway should have contacted me (they did not), but that they would send me a new bolt if I wanted. Since I presume my current bolt is properly headspaced and now functions flawlessly, I prefer to keep the one I had. The person that wrote me back was Kim Hageman from the email address kimsatern@gmail.com if that saves you any time. I'm glad Rootshot did all the work for us.
