Where to find a DPMS 308 bolt

Re: Where to find a DPMS 308 bolt

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Comanche</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Just needing the bolt not the carrier, all that i find is the jp bolt </div></div>

then use the JP bolt. Also my local store has complete BCG's in stock 189 DPMS.

It seems that the JP 308 bolt is about 0.001 to 0.002 larger in diameter at the band near the extractor pin than the DPMS bolt. I expect the JP 308 bolt was designed for the JP bolt carrier. That bolt will not work in the carrier of my RND Manufacturing 308 rifle. Just a heads up to check diameters before trying to replace a 308 bolt with a JP bolt.

I'm running 2 DPMS and a Milspec bolt carriers in 2 rifles and 1 extra upper I have had no problems. They are snug when you push the bolt all the way in but I figured that's better than sloppy.

No issues so far
