ToolCraft is an OEM supplier of BC's and BCG's to numerous manufacturers.
The have clearly admitted to me that they source their bolts from another OEM vendor, and yes, if you want a 9310 bolt, they will sell it to you:
Our carriers come with a variety of options and are all manufactured to customer print and specifications within our facility in Marion, North Carolina.
[B]We manufacture over 9,000 carriers per week[/B] each available with Chrome/Phosphate, Nickel Boron or machined to satisfy all our customers.
Toolcraft has the ability to offer a wide variety of calibers and styles of BCG’s. If you prefer to apply a special coating, we can machine your order to the specifications that are required to allow for the coating buildup. If you decide to use this method, please let our knowledgeable customer service personnel know your intentions and we will machine it correctly to your application. We can also sell just the carrier or a carrier with the key properly assembled and staked.
Bolt Carriers made from 8620 Steel, 6A1-4V Titanium or Aluminum
Keys made from 4130 Steel
Bolts available in 9310 Steel or Carpenter 158
Lifetime Warranty
Our products carry a lifetime warranty. Simply put… Should any of our products fail, return it to us for a brand new replacement.
By the way, instead of dealing with innuendo, I have called ToolCraft and specifically asked if that guarantee extends to the bolts, since they are sourced from other OEM vendors. The response - yes it do - "we sold it, we warrant it."
So, seems to me if you buy a TollCraft BCG, you'll never have to buy another. Funny, looking at other websites, I don't see this same warranty.
Stickman, I appreciate you efforts on behalf of the forum, but, I think you might let your business relationship with the folks you do your photo business with, influence your objectivity.
