Searching for a Nickel boron

[Anthonyr]

anyone have any idea where I could find a nickel boron bolt only. I have a 5.56 stag complete bcg and im looking to swap out the bolt only for my 6.5 build

You can ask cryptic coatings.

Fail zero has one, not sure about the type though

100 for just the bolt almost worth buying a whole bcg....is the firing pin the same ?

Don't get hung up on the NiB, you can do really just as well with one of BFT's Mk 136 bolts, buy 2 at that price as well!!

I agree with that advice, NiB isn't all that special.

Anthony,

You don't need it for reliability; it won't improve anything downrange; but it might keep and make the bolt easier to clean.

That quick wipe down at the end of shooting is going to cost money and unless you plan to spend similarly on where it really counts (barrel, scope, trigger) then its like using a silent capture spring with a tomato stake barrel.

Right here. He's slow to ship, but everyone is right now https://www.maximfirearms.com/online-sto...ndel-bolt/

What he ^ said I have an NB bolt but I run a nitride bolt.

Same here. I bought an NIB 223 BCG and swapped the bolt out for a Monster one.

I have one NiB BCG in 5.56. It is nice, but I prefer Nitride/QPQ. It is just as easy to clean as the NiB, if not easier. It's just a little easier to see the carbon on the NiB.
