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.

The Model 21 Carbon rifle features a high-quality, lightweight carbon-fiber barrel and an ultralightweight carbon-fiber stock, averaging just 27 ounces, offering the ideal combination of strength and agility for all types of hunting. With its vertical grip and flat fore-end, it provides superior control and stability. The lightweight design ensures excellent balance, whether you're setting up for a shot at distance or busting through brush. 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.
