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.
