Just passing along a hidden gem of a deal if anyone needs a spare bolt assembly. Ordered two and they're g2g
Hpt/mpi stamped for 46$ shipped. Good deal.
These guys manufacutre these in house for the military and also sell to the public.

I havnt looked that far yet on their site but it seems they sell at wholesale on some items that are listed. I may order a few more bolts just to have since BCG's seem to be drying up right about now.

Ordered one last week and got in yesterday. Apparently it's 8620 steel, not 158 carpenter, and I don't think they are hpt. Apparently they ran out of the regular, so mine came with a note saying they upgraded mine to a carp steel bolt. Still a pretty good deal.

Ordered one also. Mine has a "C" and "mpi"
on it. How do you determine if it's 158?

Just tried one of these bolts with three different Colt cam pins.
None of the pins will insert into the bolt. The bolt is out of spec.
Calling first thing Monday to get my money back.
Check yours too if you ordered one.

You certain you didn't have the bolt upside down when trying to insert the cam pin?

I tried it again and I wasn't installing the pin the wrong way but it turns out the phosphate coating is so thick I had to "work" the pin
in by rotating it. After about a minute of doing this it went into
the bolt. Still a tight fit, but nothing I can't fix with a little steel wool.
Sorry I jumped the gun..
