rexican Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I recently picked up another lower receiver, and am dedicating it to my 20" upper with a JP enterprise adjustable gas block. I need a new bolt, and plan on spending around $150 on the assembly. I am torn between a daniel defense, bushmaster, or DPMS bolt assembly. they are all around the same price, but I only have experience with the bushmaster. Is one greater than the others, and am I missing anything incredible by going with these brands instead of a JP or other more expensive bolt? I have seen bolt carriers that cost more than the whole assembly I am looking at. Thanks for any help. Edited August 4, 2010 by rexican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 With the testing that I've done, you'd probably be better to save up a little bit more and run the JP Low-Mass bolt carrier ($198 dealer cost)and the Low-Mass buffer ($48). Then just pick up a decent bolt from DPMS to complete the assembly. I shot my competition AR next to my SWAT Entry Gun one day. Both have the same compensator; the comp gun is a 20" and the Entry Gun is a 16. The Entry Gun was VIOLENT. So, I swapped bolts out and the Entry Gun became just as smooth as the heavier and longer comp gun, even thought it doesn't have the Adjustable Gas Block.

rexican Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thanks; looks like I'll just keep using my old bushy bolt until i can put one together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
