Surprise, Surprise...
I want in on the Group Bolt buy, but a quick check of my bolt face depth reveled that mine is .141.
This is an AR Stoner type 2 18" barrel/bolt combo that I purchased a few years ago from Midway. For the most part, this barrel has been decent with aprox moa results. My brass does seem to stretch a little long when loading 28.2 gr 8208. I have also seen a case head seperation from 5x reloaded PPU brass. I didn't think muc of it, as there were many reports of issues with PPU. Because this barrel and bolt came as a matched set, I never used a go, no-go gauge. I think it's time to check this bolt.
Anyone else using this barrel/bolt combo? If so, have you measured your face depth?
Thoughts and advice are always appreciated.
