But generally you will have to go online to get the higher quality parts or rifles. Just how it is. At least in South East Virginia. Even when I go to the Nation's Gun show in Chantilly, VA still not a lot of the mfrs listed above.
Like Grant said, just replace the bolt when it breaks with a BCM, LMT, CMT, DD, etc. Should be about $70 - $80 for a proper MPI/HPI bolt. Keep extra extractor springs, and shoot it. BM is certainly overgassed. You could even upgrade the recoil system with the VLTOR A5 if you want or just buy an H2 or H3 buffer.
I know that the OP wants to keep the money in the community, but that is in my mind not a reason to limit yourself. If you can buy what you want at a lower price online, then you have saved money that you can spend elsewhere within your community.
We live in a capitalist society. If the retailer down the street does not carry what you want, then you shouldn't buy something just because you want to support them. Tell them to get the products you want and then you will buy from them. This is what drives our economy.
