I had my Mystic Black Bolt have its gas rings go early. Unfortunately it happens. Luckily I got this on sale because I didn’t want to replace the gas rings and wanted a bolt that was just more aggressive grabbing the cartridge and ejecting it. Now I can’t say if this is better than the original Mystic Black bolt that came with the BCG. It may be a dud. I’ll know soon when I do replace the rings. But this Nickel Boron bolt definitely grabs and ejects them clean and consistent. I feel it’s a better pattern than the OG bolt. I love the dual look. So, I got another to add to my Mystic Bronze BCG. Looks so good with that dual tone. Elite function. I am happy!

My AR was starting to have feeding and extraction issues. And after much testing I came to the conclusion that it was the bolt, I bought this cryptic bolt as a replacement. The price was good so I went ahead and bought it. Dropped into my AR without a hitch and fit perfectly. My feeding and extraction issues were fixed with this Bolt. I put 300 rounds to the rifle with this cryptic bolt in it and zero issues. Would highly recommend.
Pros:
Drop in replacement, price, and reliable
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
5.56 AR rifle
Would recommend: Yes

This company is really starting to grow on me. I've bought a few of their products now and so far they've all been really good quality. You'll have a tough time finding this quality at this price point elsewhere.

Cryptic is known for their great quality. I paired this with a Geissele RE bolt carrier. Fits perfectly, checked it thoroughly with my micrometer & calipers. Also their firing pin protrusion was within spec. Will definitely be getting more.
