The bolt is crafted from a single piece of hardened 4340 Chrome Molybdenum billet for exceptional strength and durability. Fluted to reduce contact between the bolt and receiver, it offers a smoother open and close action. To further enhance its performance and longevity, the bolt is coated with NIB-X (Nitride), ensuring a slick, durable finish. Featuring a modified M16-style extractor, the bolt delivers reliable extraction and is designed for easy, toolless disassembly and cleaning.

Built for hunters who demand performance without lugging extra weight, this carbon-fiber stock is as tough as it is practical. Each carbon-fiber barrel features a precision recessed crown with a ⅝x24 threaded muzzle, and comes with easy-to-remove thread protector for quick muzzle additions.
