Yep, pretty common place for the bolt to crack. For a replacement bolt you might want to check out Bravo Company.

No difference as far as design. Only difference would be quality and testing procedures between manufacturers.

Thanks everyone. I'm not sure on what brand it was. I bought a old PWA and it was in it. So BravoCompany makes a good bolt? I guess I will be looking for the one that takes the best beating. Thanks again everyone.

Breaking across the cam pin hole is pretty classic. I'm using a Fulton bolt that lasted for several thousand rounds.

Top of the page:
www.pkfirearms.com/store/get_items.aspx?type=0&term=52 MPI tested, shot peened, all the good stuff. I am not entirely sure if this is true but I believe Bravo Co. uses CMT MPI'ed bolts in their BCG's. I have both and the markings on both are identical. Both have an engraved CM marking and both have the same MP marking. |
