Hello I'm new to the forum and have a question for you folks....ht TIA |
|
Yes, but you really shouldn't swap around used bolts between guns. They wear into the rifle the more they shoot and you can adversely affect head spacing if you switch a used bolt into another gun. Putting a new one into a gun isn't as big a deal but you should really check head space also. Also not all bolts are created equal when it comes to quality. Hope this helps and welcome. |

Just don't put in an old bolt with an old barrel. New bolt/new barrel - ok New bolt/old barrel - ok Old bolt/new barrel - ok Old bolt/old barrel - bad (potential headspace issues if something is worn), assuming they weren't used together, that is. You can certainly shoot your old bolt in your old upper if they came together new. At least that's what I read on here.
