Yes. I bought a new SFP 308 bolt body for one of my AXMCs. It was defective (actually skipped an entire step in the machining process). It was the ONLY one in stock ANYWHERE at the time. I had to send it to AINA. They inspected and called me and said, yep - we'll replace it. I asked how long that might take since no one had them in stock anywhere. They said, don't worry - we keep plenty of stock of parts like this on-hand for repairing customer's rifles. It will ship out today.
So, even if you can't find an extra part in stock anywhere, there is an excellent likelihood that AI has it on hand if a rifle needs it for a repair.
I had a very different experience from you.
I called AI to ask about replacing a damaged bolt head on a rifle I purchased. They told me they don't swap heads (even though I found a post on here where a rep stated they do), and instead offered to sell me a whole new bolt body for $800 and change (which they had in stock). Not what I wanted to hear, but figured I'd take them up on the offer. When I called back to purchase, the guy I got on the phone acted like I was an idiot and told me they don't sell parts, despite giving me a price for it maybe two days earlier.
Fortunately for me, a kind member here offered to swap his better condition bolt head for mine, so my ugly gas cut bolt has been united with the 7 axis dremel body.
And for anyone curious, swapping bolt heads is like a ten minute process, so I have no idea why they don't do it for people.
