The bolt on my first gen gsg5 cracked. I need a new one, but can't seem to get through to ATI. Stayed on hold for Hours to no avail, and sent a couple of messages on there website with no response. Does anyone know where I can just buy a new bolt, as i can't seem to track one down. About a year ago when I turned mine into a sbr they were very fast and helpful.

Oh and the bolt cracked after about 8,000 to 9,000 rounds if anyone was wondering.

How's that for service...what other gun marketier scans these types of threads for complaints, then addresses them?  Keep up the good work!

Is it the bolt or bolt cover that cracked?

what causes this the bolt shroud screws coming loose? I always strip mine after every range session and clean degrease and then loctie the bolt shroud screws again. I am overdoing it maybe but this stuff always is on the back of my mind and I don't wanth this to happen to mine. also the screws on the bot always seem to loosen after 500 round range sessions.

Get some new screws. They are self tapping screws,After a while they refuse to stay tight. And make sure the screws and threaded hole are good and clean, Loc tite will not stick to silicone.

This is why the screw upgrade is so important.

Update

After I did a complete tear down I noticed that the ejector had also come loose, so it has been sent in for repairs.
Hope they get it fixed up quick. I have a suppressor that should be arriving any day now that I bought just for this rifle.
All of this waiting is making me old.
