Thanks, Ken
No, the purpose of selling the barrel and bolt together is to ensure you have the correct head space. My Silen and my two Friends Brownell's each came with a bolt and were GTG. Their two Brownell's barrels have been good shooters. One was getting MOA to 900 meters on the Ft Campbell range. Needless to say he was esstatic.
