MM, member, from TX, United States, asked on August 15, 2021

I plan to use this bolt with a ballistic advantage 7.5” barrel I have. Do I need to check the head space or should the BA combo be good to go?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Nick B., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 13, 2021

MS, member, from OK, United States, asked on June 10, 2019

What material is the bolt? Is the gas key chrome lined?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan C., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 11, 2019

It depends on the model. The phosphate bolt is machined from 9310 nickel-chrome-molybdenum case-hardening steel. The NiB bolt is machined from Carpenter 158 chrome-nickel alloy steel. Both have a forged gas key that is coated inside and out with phosphate or EXO NiB respectively.
