This would mean I would be able to make a total of (3) bolt carrier groups minus the extractor assembly, gas rings, roll pins, springs, firing pin and gas key. I could purchase those things separately from a preferred supplier and assemble using grade 8 SHCS for the gas key. I don't know how to stake the gas key but I'm sure someone on here knows how. The only problem with that is that I would literally have 1 shot at making the bolt and if my attempt ended in failure, I would regret not making 5 bolt carriers instead of 3 and I'm still not 100% on how to manufacture the bolt. Nothing on YouTube. I am assuming that it is made from bar stock, hammered into shape and then machined to spec. The lugs look like they are made using a broach on an vertical indicator or a mill using a proprietary end mill. Any thoughts?
