| Can somebody recommend a GOOD 6.8 bolt that doesn't cost $150, Nickel boron preferred. I found one on Gunbroker but the guy won't even say who manufactured it and won't answer questions. I've seen several for under $100 but are phosphate. I may have to go with the LWRC but I sure hate to pay that much just for a bolt, recently bought a whole WMD BCG for just $170. |

Why nickel boron? Seems an unnecessary risk to take with a very critical component. Why not get a tried and true phosphate one from a quality manufacturer? Stag, spikes and Rainer arms springs to mind. I already have a NiB carrier, just wanted things to match. I'll look into those brands and see if I can buy just the bolt. |

AR Performance super bolt is the best, $90, but they've been out for awhile
LWRC ($150) and LMT ($170) are also very good, I have one of each. I do use Stag 6.8 bolts, but I haven't ridden them hard so I don't know about longevity. There are fewer 6.8 bolts made, so they will tend to be a bit more expensive. |
| Funny, I'd say the same thing about the ARP Super Bolt. It is all I will use in my 6.8s and 6.8 based wildcats where pressure testing load data does not exist and I want the strongest bolt I can find, and for me that is the $90 SB no matter how long I have to wait. |

Doesn't matter how good it is if you can't get one :) |
| If you are going to reload and actually get out of a 6.8 what it can do get the ARP superbolt. Not disparaging the others. And the NIB thing, well I got one in 5.56 and I will never pay a premium to get one again. Easy to clean is just not that big a priority if you take care of your stuff. |
