My Cason bolt/firing pin combo showed up today, so I took my old tactical ambush bolt that has about 800 rounds on her now and replaced it with the cason. The extractor is quite a bit different than a 5.56. I went out and shot 67 rounds with the bolt and she worked perfectly! I had no failures to fire either which is odd since I will always get a couple with the hard primers in the Red Army ammo. It is a different design than the enhanced pin I'm running with the tactical ambush bolt. Anyway it looks good will keep yall updated if anything happens over the next several thousand rounds.

Does the ejector have a radius to the edge of it?  I can't make it out from the pics.  A good tool steel extractor properly tempered is a must in any cartridge, but especially with the tiny AR15 bolt.

It has a little radius on it but not real rounded like the YHM bolts. I noticed that there are small radius's or relief cuts on either sides of the lugs to prevent cracking. They told me they have never had one break, not even an extractor and there are a bunch out there with thousands of rounds. The good thing with Cason is they will replace it if anything fails, period. The extractor is made of some super strong steel but I can't remember what it is any more lol, it is made quite a bit differently than a standard extractor, next time I take it down for cleaning I'll snap some pics of the extractor. Only time will tell how good it really is, but it'll have several thousand rounds on it by next year this time.

I've got over 2000 rounds with mine and it just refuses to malfunction. Great bolt. Brad is top notch with his work and customer service too.

I also have this bolt. Very high quality. I used this bolt very heavily for the last year or so probably have 5500 ish rounds and it still looks new. No problems thus far

Good to hear from other users, I got in a conversation with one of the owners, and asked for them to add an extra extractor to the order. She laughed and said if it ever broke they would fix it, what bolt manufacturer offers to fix broken extractors?
