Does anybody know of a source for WSSM (.535) bolts for an AR15 carrier? I'm wanting to build a 243 WSSM upper and the only thing holding me back in availability of a bolt.

Thanks in advance
 
Re: WSSM bolt for AR

More parts are different than just the bolt, the following parts are also WSSM specific:

Bolt carrier (larger dia. inside for bolt)
Upper Receiver (bigger where bbl ext fits)
Barrel Extension (also larger diameter)
Magazines

No-one sells just the parts, as Oly only sells complete uppers and the only one they have an agreement with to sell parts to is D-Tech.

Some good info there, but not 100% accurate.

It's correct that no one sells just the parts, but Olympic Arms has factory rifles, and supplies parts to TWO builders, Mike at Dtec, and also Carl from Accuracy Systems.

HOWEVER, JARD Inc is now making their own WSSM line of products...its highly unlikely that they will sell just parts either, but it does give you a 4th option for the WSSM line in an AR, and they are offering production models in 243 WSSM, 25 WSSM & proprietary Jard 7mm WSSM



(and lets not forget, you'll be lucky to get one in 8-10 months)
