I have one. They actually replaced the one in the video as part of their recall even though I didn't have any issues with it FWIW.
BCM is the standard though. Both seem to work.

Search around and you can find the guy who broke two of them... (on another site IIRC)

Here is the guy who broke two bolts and started the recall. Hopefully they fixed the problems.

And it's obviously had it's teething problems so far, so I'll wait until these issues are sorted out and dealt with. Maybe then, after some longer-term use is proven by end-users, then I may pick one up. ps. If I wanted a no-frills, proven BCG that already has a reputable track record, I'd go with BCM. |

Here is a link to the ARP superbolt:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/273878_Advanced_Impingement_Carrier_and_Advanced_Combat_Bolt.html I use the 6.8 version on all my 6.8's. Here is some information on the LWRC Advanced Combat Bolt. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/273878_Advanced_Impingement_Carrier_and_Advanced_Combat_Bolt.html These have been used by SOCOM, I saw some on my SOTF deployment in 2012-13. |

I guess the question I have for you specifically is if it was your money and you were looking at either a WMD NiBx bolt for $60 and the Reliabolt for $80 which would you buy? Is it worth the $20 more or is it all marketing and "coolaid"? $20 is not a deal breaker for me as this is already a $2,500 build but dont like just throwing away money either. |

I know your question was not directed at me, however I want to note that BCM's standard mil-spec bolts are also $80 ($79.99 + shipping). So, the SRC Relia-bolt isn't really overpriced at all when compared to what many consider the best standard mil-spec bolt assembly parts. It was at one time, when they wanted $150 for just the BOLT  I for one have read about issues with WMD's NiB stuff in the past (it was an entire BCG, IIRC). That all said, I have a complete SRC BBC (Balanced Bolt Carrier) in house right now, which includes their Relia-bolt. I like the NP3 finish they use, and so far it has operated flawlessly in the 25-45 Sharps upper I'm testing. I don't, nor will I have, a lot of rounds down range with it though, only due to the fact that I only have a couple hundred rounds of the .25cal ammo on hand. So, I can't comment on reliability over high round counts like many on here can. Is it worth it? I think the NP3 finish is worth more than the mil-spec phosphate, but I personally wouldn't spend much more for it. At the same price, I could see the appeal of the SRC offering over others. Good luck OP. ETA: spelling and grammar  |

I'd like to see the Relia-bolt in 7.62x39 in their S7 tool steel. 7.62x39 bolts are weaker than the 5.56 bolts, but the S7 tool steel may resolve that.
