Tedward Wrote:dammitman, wish I read your question more thoroughly earlier. You state the bolt is out of spec. Why? Is the HS .130 and the bolt OAL 2.800? If so, you might have the same batch of bolts I got with my barrels. Satern did receive out of spec bolts from there new supplier and I returned them. All were from .129 to.132 but 90% were .130 head space, not .135 and OAL of 2.800 rather than 2.810. I think we all know who the new bolt supplier to Satern is from previous post so hopefully they make the bolts in the future correctly.
I bought bolts directly from Maxim Firearms. He has bolts for sale on his website and are made from 9310 Steel. http://www.maximfirearms.com/online-stor...ndel-bolt/
I am not promoting the product (yes I am) but if you want a bolt and extractor made from a reputable manufacture, he has them. The first batch of bolts thet he supplied had Satern 6.5 Grendel extractors without markings on them. They currently have there in house manufactured extractors that are easily identified with the same 4 rings as the bolts. Also notice he eased the edges on the lugs prior to finishing them.

Mark at Precision Firearms also has bolts from Maxim and is doing different finishes but not sure if they are available. Either way, you can get correct bolts. AA also has bolts, I got mine in 40 amazing days just to see if they are shipping them. Not sure if it will continue but they also have a quality product. Les Baer Custom too is a source for bolts and I have had great success with theirs but they ARE NOT 9310 steel that I know about.
How do you know they are not 9310 bolts? I've never asked directly did you?
