Woah!

Should have bought a mini14.Just when you thought you had seen every variation of AR-15 "failures" something new comes a long! That this part survived one bolt lock is amazing, but it is in a rifle that is 17 years old and on its third barrel.
Save that part for metallurgical analysis. If you had a solid piece of that it might be a multi-generational heirloom.Just when you thought you had seen every variation of AR-15 "failures" something new comes a long!

I haven't seen them break there before. I have seen a couple break between the roll pin hole and the stop, but they were kinda cheap and maybe only lasted a couple thousand rounds at the most.Just when you thought you had seen every variation of AR-15 "failures" something new comes a long!

I don't think ill of it unless it was a thousand rounds or something. How many rounds? I bet it went way past its service life.No, when you put the parts back together they look just fine, no stretch. It was a GI part/mil spec. So for all you thinking that is a magical thing...just remember...lowest bidder!![]()
Service life??? Of a bolt stop??? I'd love to see the T.O.E. that lists that!!and I can see the look on a Snuffie's face when the Gunny asked how many lock backs are on your bolt stop private?

Where did you get your IUID from? Is it metal?
Those guys are top notch.The guy I bought it from actually put that on there. This started life as a standard LE6920. I sold it to him and he did the SOCOM clone work to it with the Knight's RAS/VFG and the Matech BUIS. I'm not sure where he got the UID from but I did find this place:
