Tango29 why not tell Saturn to get bolts from les Baer now? I'm in on the liberty barrel group buy...they need to get some bolts. Is Steve satern a member on here? What's the deal with bolt availability? The biting frenzy post gun ban push is over.

Mark was gracious enough to get me an unfinished bolt to send to Lilja for our barrel group buy as soon as was possible.
I compared it to the bolt in my PF Grendel. They both had a 0.135" bolt face depth and a lug length of 0.278".
I'll get it shipped to Lilja first thing Monday.

Cory, did Mark give you any idea of when he'll begin shipping the bolts that are currently on order with PF? How many rounds did it take to get that much "brass flow" on that bolt face? It looks pretty severe.

They're got to have the black nitrate or NiB applied then they should be ready to go out.
"Brass flow" what is that? I've got less than 500 rounds on it.

That's better than a pic of Bigfoot right now. Great to know someone else is making bolts.
Cory, "Brass Flow" is me feeble way of describing the brass that is left on the bolt face as it seems to "Flow" from the case head with the warmer loads. Your rifle rocks, 500 rounds without cleaning the bolt face and it's still running, outstanding!

Never heard anything back. emailed twice after that and have not heard a peep.
They already did and now have bolts on order from Frank. I passed them Franks info and talked Deb about Frank months ago.

Anyone heard from Mark at PF recently? I have sent PM's and emails because I want to add something to my order of bolts but haven't heard back from him in almost 3 weeks….

They've been moving. It was supposed to have been completed this past week, but you know how things like that go!

Yeah, my company is moving too. Started back in January and won't end until August next year. So I know how much of a headache it is. Just wanting to make sure the items get added to my order so I don't have to pay extra shipping for some gas tubes...

I had a change to an order that I placed and sent a couple of emails (not knowing if they had received them or not). It took a while but I did hear back that they received my email and had made the changes to my order.
Question on Nickle Boron Bolt. Does a bolt coated with nickle boron have different dimensions. does the coating ad to the thickness so that it wont fit in a BCG or is the dimension taken into account
when the bolt is manufactured for Nib coating. sSame question for the BCG as well.
Does anyone have pictures they can post of the bolts with the different finishes, I just ordered two of the Phalanx.
