    Sunny Hill Bottom Metal

    Re: Sunny Hill Bottom Metal I would also recommend a badger M4 if this is for a tactical build. It is built like a tank and inletting will be a bit more extensive but it will be worth it. Also you can pick one up for a fair price in the accessories section. Good luck

    Back of bolt not cut straight...

    Re: Back of bolt not cut straight... That probly will not cause any issues, but you could check to see if the piece that is inserted into the bolt is in fact crooked or if they just milled the serface at a bad angle. If it is just cut at a bad angle it probly wont affect any thing.
