After putting in a great trigger and a slick-looking rail, I had to keep the internals and small parts on point. The SRC bolt carrier provides solid, slick and sturdy performance, but the bolt is where the real magic is. Sharp’s Rifle Company provided one of their incredible Relia-Bolts, and it brings things to another level. You can see my review of their Balanced BCG and Relia-Bolt here, but for the TL:DR crowd, these things are amazing, and I have one in as many rifles as I can. I recently sold off a rifle and accidentally left the bolt in there, and that really sucks. Well, it’s great for the buyer. But still.
If you haven’t heard of SRC’s bolts and carriers, shame on you, spend more time on the internet. They are machined on their lugs to provide better engagement with the chamber lugs, and use angled surfaces to allow the bolt to lock up positively, even in filthy guns. Like so.
The camming action of the Relia-Bolt is amazing, so much so that they patented it. The best way I can describe it is to imagine the BCG cycling in the gun with no bolt. There’s no friction from unlocking from the chamber, no sluggish camming associated with traditional bolts. I use a lot of high-end bolts, but these are the ones I actually want in my gun.
I’ve covered a lot of ground on the looks and internals of the rifle. Take a look at the build list if you want to build a similar gun or get ideas for your own new build.
Up next, I’ll be going over the Next Level Armament and V7 Weapon Systems components, so double-tap this link to get in on more of the build.
Remember, the 2A is for all of us. Get out there, learn, train, stay safe, and have fun.
