It's not a problem. You should replace at least the bolt if not the carrier but I've done the same thing more than once.

Yes. The only possible problem you'll have is if the bolt is worn too much then you'll run into headspacing problems, and I'm not talking a few hundred round or even a few thousand rounds. Ten thousand rounds maybe. You should be fine.

I should be fine then since my bolt and carrier for the bushy have only seen about 750 rounds right?...

Opinions will vary on this question.
Being on the cautious side myself, I’d recommend you check the headspace if you do this. Admittedly, it’s not likely to be a problem. |

Moving a bolt back and forth between rifles on a regular basis will accelerate wear on the bolt lugs as well as the lugs on BOTH barrel extensions. Normally, a bolt will wear in a little, and then wear will slow way down as all of the contact surfaces are worn in evenly. By moving the bolt to another gun and back, the "wear in" cycle never ends. This is why barrels and bolts should stay together whenever possible.

Use the same bolt carrier, but get a new bolt.
