White Oak Bolt vs BCM Bolt?

[Lawdog-1]

I try to search this forum and AR15.com for parts that are rated Top Shelf. I know that BCM bolt and all of their parts are rated Top Shelf. I can't find enough information to compare White Oak bolt. I look to buy parts I could trust and not to buy parts that will have a short life while being ran hard or easy. How would you rate White Oak Bolt?

Why even bother when the BCM Bolt is well known?

We've run a few of them, and at one point Iraqgunz had one too.... appeared to be STAG/CMT if I remember right. No way of knowing for sure what the materials and testing is... so?

I'd go BCM. That's what I use, and it has run flawless for me.

Possibly to get a WOA bolt to go with his WOA barrel? Just speculating...........

Bolts are bolts for the most part. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Most are made in the exact same shop by a select few companies with different brands on the bag.

Not any more. There is all kinds of crap floating around out there. If getting a real C158 bolt that's been properly tested matters to the end user, then bolts are not bolts.

So I assume you have no issue using DPMS in all your guns?

Nonsense ! Parts are not parts and they're not all made by a select few companies.

OP I'd stick with the BCM bolt.

You may have been correct at one time, but like markm mentioned, not anymore. There is so much inferior garbage floating around it's not even funny. The WOA bolts I saw (AFAIK) were CMT. I think they were Carpenter 158, and they were only MPI tested.
