    I bought one for my super light rifle... I was hoping since they cut corners off of the bolt, it would save some weight over a standard bolt. It weighs about a gram less

    It's worked good for me, with maybe 500 rounds through it.

    It's interesting you say that, I've had the same issues with my reliabolts as well. They intermittently don't lock back on the final round. It even happens on a suppressed 10.5" shorty. The gas rings had good seal, so I'm assuming it might be part of the design, I don't know. But when I put a regular BCM bolt back in it locks back every time. I'm not sure what to make of it.

    So this is a standard Relia-Bolt but with a different coating (DLC) from what the original has (NP3)?

    The Relia-Bolt just sheared both lugs next to the extractor at just past 3k rounds. Gonna give SRC a call tomorrow.

    That's not cool. Do you have any pictures? Please lets us know what they do. What information about your rifle are you willing to share?

    When did you buy your reliabolt? Was it a newer version or possibly one during the recall period that had the heat treating issues? Sorry to hear the bad news.

    He posted about picking it up in June under the assumption there were no problems with the newer ones. Ironically, I've read more about reliabolts breaking than any other bolt.

    That blows.

    I still like the concept with tapered bolt lugs. Maybe they need to switch to 9310 or C158.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
