High-Strength Super Alloy BCG?

Makes me wish Geissele would sell just his enhanced bolt by itself.

Well don't believe to much of the BS, you know where we are headed.

No, they are machined.

Huh?
Almost every forging still needs finishing machine work.

Maybe their "super" steel is 9840?

Yeah I machined about 300 a week for 8 years.
Find a copy of the specs for a mil spec bolt and then see if you can find any mention of forging on it.

Iirc, they are machined from bar stock.

The marketing claim was not made by me, and how would you know what Ruger was doing for their claim? If you knew exactly what they used and how it was finished, you would tell us, right?
Yeah, probably not a forging that needs final machine work, but to say 9310 or 9840, just a wild assumption, but possible.

We would probably have less people talking about AR-15 bolts if this was in Beyond 5.56 with all the other .308 AR stuff.
