Another relatively unknown manufacturer of BCG's with a large DOD contract is Microbest. That said, I too am curious to know who this mysterious manufacturer(s) of AR15 bolts is; or are. IMHO, buy a 100% milspec carrier group from Toolcraft or Microbest, and dispense with the cachet of these boutique BCG's with gaudy logos; and save $60 to $90.00 in the process. The fact that these two offer a no BS no questions asked warranty is just icing on the cake.
BCM.
Or Sionics if you want something besides regular parkerized finish.
After doing a bit of research, along with some phone calls for verification, the following manufacturers verbally acknowledged making AR15 bolts (as well as making the carrier assembly):
Bushmaster
American Built Arms Co
Microbest
ToolCraft *
Now, what I did find was that none of the above list were willing to say who they supply these bolts to, though with a bit of digging, Microbest did say that S&W uses their BCG's.
If you know of any additional manufacturers of AR15 bolts, please post.
*ToolCraft acknowledged they made their line of BCG's, but were not very forthcoming as to whether that included the 158 bolts...they did say they do make the 9310 steel bolts offered on some of their BCG's, but stopped short of saying if they also make the 158 Carpenter bolts.
