Just curious What do prefer or run in your everyday AR the carpenter 158 or the 9310 bolt. Is there a difference in them if your running semi auto. Anyone ever had a failure out of one. What are your thoughts. Thanks

I just ordered one of these. It is S7. We shall see how it runs

That looks nice. I read that S7 is the metal used in jack hammer bits. What are you running it in ? Carbine or Mid
Mid 14.5. It was surprisingly gassy with my specwar. Ive already modded a gas block to cut gas down, but I figured inwould put this in it and tune the rifle to run both suppressend and unsuppressed. In its current gas port size its suppressed only
Yup I’m the same too :
Harder bolt is brittle I guess
Softer bolt prone to more wear
Did you reduce the port size on the block. You’d think a mid would’ve helped some even if the gas port is larger
I drilled and tapped the port in the gas block between the gas tube and barrel, then drilled stainless dog nose set screws with various port sizes. Went from 0.077” on the barrel to 0.055 or 0.052 I forget at the moment.
Oh its way less gassy now. Ive got it tuned down to the point it wont fully cycle unsuppressed. It shoots great. I just want to open it up a bit then hopefully use the adjustments on the bolt when I run it suppressed
I believe @Leshaire had that same Bootleg BCG. Of I remember correctly he had some issues out of it. I could be wrong though?
I sure did. Ejection direction didn't change one single inch across three settings and it was failing to fully eject every time and then on the fully closed setting it ran exactly like it already runs, perfect patterns and perfect reliability lol.
My trial wasn't a fair one though since I have that reduced gas port barrel. But I was hoping I could even finer tune with the bootleg. I just didn't see or feel any difference across the three first settings.

No, not that I'm aware of! But, I have been looking and the one thing I keep coming across is 9310 this and 158 that... just started wondering what was the better choice!
