Got the new NiB-X bolt from WMD Guns today. Pretty slick. Good to have a spare.
Says “Case hardened 9310, shot peened, magnetic particle inspected, with high-performance extractor, ejector springs, gas rings and special O-ring buffer.”
Not sure what the extractor is made from.

I was trying to decide if I should continue running the BCA with the upgraded extractor or start running this shiny new bolt….hmmm
I just picked up one of those as well.
Different caliber though.
Yep. Just gotta snag a barrel within the next month or so.

Ran 120 rounds through it this afternoon without any issues. I ran it with the H3 buffer instead of the spikes tactical T2 buffer. I think I’ll stick with the H3. Cases land 3-3:30
Gotta love the short barrel

The magpul slings aren't bad for the money.
Thanks. I’m a noob when it comes to AR slings.
All of my uppers have MLOK handguards. The stock is just a basic magpul MOE.
So for each of the uppers I just need one of these?
Amazon product ASIN B00ORY7TO0View: https://www.amazon.com/Magpul-M-LOK-Quick-Disconnect-Sling-Mount/dp/B00ORY7TO0
And for the buttstock, one of these
Yeah both of those are good, I like the magpul mounts. Depending on the sling you may need the other end on the sling too.
I'd recommend blue force gear with magpul swivel disconnects
ETA: I've been meaning to do a review of these three, between magpul, vtac, and BFG vickers, the BFG was my favorite

I use either those same Magpul mounts or the same thing made by BCM. They can normally be found for $14-22.
For slings I find the Blue Force Gear Vickers is awesome. Padded or not padded is your choice.

I tried to cheapo slings because I thought how sophisticated could a sling be. Can't get them to slide smoothly, plus no grip on the adjusting loop. The magpul MS4 is perfect. Makes you want to be proficient at using slings.

Slings are another deep whole until you find what works well.

to go along with that - there are many good videos on the topic, here is one of them.
your front sling mount imho is a bit too far toward gun center to be able to wrap sling around your wrist comfortably.

Good call. All my other rifles (AK, Garand, 1903, K31, M1 carbine, lever guns) all have the sling mounted at the very end which allows for a tight hold. I’ll have to play around with this one to see how I like it. And make sure the QD mount doesn’t get in the way of my grip on the handguard
Kicking myself for not testing this sooner. I finally shot some of the golden tiger today and it was basically a 90% failure to fire rate. The rise armament trigger has the extra power hammer spring installed and I have an enhanced firing pin installed that Bear Creek sent me. Not sure if I should try that bubba’d firing pin that I messed around with the tail stop
Probably a sure way to get pierced primers
So I pulled a couple bullets and fired just the case/primer in my basement lol. Wife and dog loved thatWell I still had light strikes today at the range so I filed off another ~0.01"

They both went off so I guess I’ll just need to test some loaded rounds at the range to be sure.

Possibly. The true test will be to fire loaded rounds and see.
If this does work and doesn’t end up piercing primers I’ll have to put a note somewhere reminding me which firing pin I have in it. For when I’m shooting Tula/Wolf
Was looking at grabbing a Windham Weaponry AR upper in 7.62x39 and figured there would be a thread on NES already on the topic.
I have nothing that shoots 762x39 and was feeling like a failure of a human as a result. Figured the AR platform would be the way to go. I’m not paying these prices for an AK in MA.
