Craddock RTR

FYI, the gas port on my ordered RTR 18" RLGS, is .091.
Supplied / purchased headspaced bolt, has a .067 firing pin tip, and a bolt FP hole of .071... so smaller than a typical 308 FP setup.

One question though... and I couldn't seem to find the answer, who makes a 308 FP with a tapered front portion ?
This photo, ( from years ago ) shows the one on the left, with the tapered tip...is what I am curious about.

Ignore the circled part... the FP on the right is a standard 308 FP

Not a big deal... but, Who makes those tapered FP's ?

I see LMT uses a tapered "front" FP, but it is proprietary on the back end..

FWIW... Looks like it is a ToolCraft Bolt and Firing pin
