Q: Is this bolt made specifically for 7.62x39 or is it a milled out 5.56 bolt face? I'll pay the money if it's quality. And does it come with a heavy duty extractor?

Asked by: Sammy Cargle - 4/24/2024
A: Bolt assembly is made specifically for the 7.62x39. We do not allow for 5.56 bolts to be milled them to another caliber. ALL BOLT ASSEMBLIES and EXTRACTORS regardless of caliber is milled from stock bar and machined to that specific caliber. We do try to keep a little more meat in the 7.62x39, but there are certain things that will cause premature failures and we list those under the DISCLAIMER tab of the products page.

Q: Is your 7.62x39 bolt just a reamed out 5.556 bolt ? Does your bolt have thicker walls than the 5.556 ? Looking at your bolt & Young Manufacturing Bolt. Thanks for your time.

Asked by: Henry Knorowski Jr - 11/30/2023
A: Our bolts start out from bar stock and machined as 7.62x39, we do not use other caliber bolts to manufacturer other caliber bolts. You can read about our bolts and material etc under the products page. As for thicker walls, it's impossible to create thicker walls than the 5.56 since the 7.62x39 is a 30 caliber in mil-spec AR-15 upper.

Q: I see where your 7.62x39 extractor does not fit BCA BCG. Does this bolt assembly work in their BCG?

Asked by: Henry Trull - 12/31/2022
A: Yes our bolt assemblies work with their Bolt Carrier, but their bolt assemblies have not been consistently machined properly so other mfg extractors hang up in the barrel extension. We had the opportunity to work with a customer with a BCA 7.62x39BCG and we know why extractors won't work (customer tried 5 other MFG companies extractor for this caliber and they all hung up in the barrel extension) so our customer had us change out BCA bolt assembly for one of ours.

Q: Is This bolt specifically made for 7.62 x39 or is it a 5.56 bolt milled out to accommodate the larger round

Asked by: Cory - 10/29/2021
A: Our bolts are made from the beginning as 7.62x39 bolts. As stated in product's description: Machined completely in one operation; this eliminates tolerance and repeatability issues that arise from the multiple fixturing processes used by other manufacturers

Q: Are these the new 7.62 style bolts yall designed that would run a couple thousand rounds before breaking extractors? Fella on YouTube was talking about them.

Asked by: Chris - 10/22/2021
A: While we do have more meat on our extractors we can't make any guarantees when the extractor or lugs will fail because other forces come into play such as gassing of the operating system and certain ammunition such as Tula or Red Army (the cases do not shrink properly and puts undue stress on the extractors and single wide barrel extensions have no support and will cause lugs to break. Also we are seeing a lot of melonited/nitrided barrel extensions lugs being deformed overtime and causing issues also. We have no control over these issues, but the way we do ourbarrels and the way we gas our uppers we have some demo rifles with over 5,000 rounds.

Q: I bought two of the7.62X39 Melonite QPQ Bolt Assemblys for my PSA KS 47's, but my weapons would not cycle properly. any ideas?

Asked by: David - 10/8/2021
A: Our AR-15 7.62x39 bolt assemblies are for AR-15 7.62x39 rifles that utilizes AR-15 7.62x39 magazines. PSA KS47 utilizes AK magazines and due to this the bolt assemblies on PSA KS47 are machined for the AK magazines so they are designed differently and you can't utilize an AR-15 bolt assembly in a platform that utilizes AK magazines.

Q: Will this bolt work with BRA's 7.62 x39 extractor, Part Number: 2010011? I ask because said extractors are listed with the disclaimer "they will not work with BCA Bolt Assemblies," though this bolt says it will fit any mill spec bolt assembly, so I am confused to the differences here. Thanks.

Asked by: Z. Marsh - 3/6/2021
A: Our extractors will work with our bolt assemblies (we are B.R.A. Black Rifle Arms). Our extractors will not work with B.C.A which is Bear Creek Arsenal that is a totally different company.

Q: Are your bolts HPT/MPI tested?

Asked by: Ed S - 1/4/2019
A: The supplier of our bolt assemblies uses a reputable metal company that does the HPT testing on their raw metals, and thus bolts are not marked as independent testing through manufacture is not done after machining. MPI testing is done in batches, while many mfg will engrave MPI on batch tested bolt assemblies we feel unless each bolt is tested it should not bear that marking.

Q: Just saw you have a 7.62x39 bolt. Looks promising. Have you sold many? Have they held up to heavy use? Any extractor problems? How have you solve the problem of broken extractors that so many manufacturers are having? What is your warranty on the bolt?

Asked by: Doug - 2/8/2017
A: We've have sold thousands of bolts. I have had to replace one bolt, and a few extractors, but for the amount we have sold it's a very low percentage of failures. Warranty is 6 months. If one is breaking extractors on a regular basis then something else is going on with the rifle such as the bolt trying to strip a casing out before it has had time to shrink, so one would need to slow the bolt carrier down.

Q: What do you mean by "true 7.62x39 bolt"? What does the .125" recess do? Does that mean you can use a regular firing pin and not need an enhanced one? If so, what if you were to use this bolt with the recess and an enhanced firing pin? Thanks

Asked by: Dave - 10/17/2015
A: We state a "true" 7.62x39 bolt because we use the original specs of a .125" recess of the breach face of the bolt. Some in the industries think a 7.62x39 and a 6.5 Grendel have the same breach face which have lead to confusion and having some manufacturers headspacing barrels with a 6.5 Grendel breach face which is .135" which can lead to serious headspace issues.

One would still need to use an enhanced firing pin with standard 7.62x39 bolts for steel case ammunition.

Q: Just curious if there would be any substantial gains upgrading to the Melonite bolt assembly over your previous model? Thanks.

Asked by: Lucas Magilke - 5/20/2015
A: The bolts themselves, outside of being Melonited QPQ, are a higher level of machining itself and the extractor is outstanding. Besides the machining and extractor alone, the finish is far superb than phosphate. Melonite diffuses into the surface of the steel metal. The benefits of Melonite QPQ are: wear resistance, corrosion resistance, lubricity and/or decreased coefficient of friction and fatigue strength.
