    Unless there is something wrong with your Noveske bolt, why "upgrade" to something else? Not trying to be difficult, just wondering.

    Having a second bolt on hand as a spare is always a sound idea, and in that case another Noveske or BCM bolt would fit the bill just fine.

    There's no way I'd substitute an Armalite anything for a Noveske bolt, however. Just my 2 cents....

    I have 2 Yankee Hill, a Young manufacturing (NM), and a JP bolt and I cant tell the difference between any of them, they all do the same job.

    General consensus is no. LMT, JP, Armalite "enhanced" bolts haven't really proved to be any more reliable or durable or than quality mil-spec bolts from companies like BCM, Colt, Daniel Defense, or Noveske.

    All that said, if cost were no object I'd buy a FailZero bolt, it's a quality milspec bolt like the others I listed, but comes coated in their EXO self-lubricating coating. The coating HAS been tested by forum members here and has generally shown to be more tolerant of under-lubrication.

    I thought it was but these guys are local and this is where I bought mine. They don't list them selves as ever having an enhanced one so I guess its just a normal one.

    mehh whatever, doesnt bother me any, if it breaks Ill worry about it but for now its perfect. It does everything I ask it to...... strip and load a round, and then rip them out of the chamber, and fling them free. LOL

    I drove around with 2 spare tires in my truck for 8 years and never had a flat.

    Therefore you should get a spare bolt. The karma will prevent bolt problems.
