Saved A Rifle

I have a fair amount of experience with Rugers. I did a nice build with a Brownells receiver. I used another brand of aftermarket bolt. It fit the receiver but it was really tight. So the rifle would fire and was incredibly accurate but it had feeding issues. It was basically binding up in the receiver and I didn’t want to start down the road of making modifications. It was very disappointing because the rest of the rifle was great. I ordered the Brownells bolt after seeing some reviews. It dropped into the receiver quite easily and it performed flawlessly at the range. I may order another one and test it in a stock Ruger receiver to see how it does. This works really well and I highly recommend it if you are putting together a new rifle or replacing an older or damaged bolt.

Quality unit.

Product is excellent fit and finish. Will continue to purchase items, if my state doesn't take those rights.

Nice Part

I was amazed at the quality of this part as soon as I took it out of the bubble wrap. Mates to the Brownell's receiver perfectly. This is a machined part not cast and then machined. Absolutely beautiful. I will most likely replace all of my stock bolts with one of these over time
