Who manufactures the 450 bolts? I know Toolcraft doesn’t manufacturer the bolts in their BCG’s, but they do make the carriers.

Thanks Hoot. I bought the bolt from Sanders several days ago, but I’m wondering who actually manufactures the bolts.

Tromix makes their own, as does leigh defense.

I don’t know who makes a majority of them, but I will say don’t buy from Underground Tactical. Had an NiB one that cracked a lug in short order. Have heard similar reports with their Grendel bolts, too.

I have no issues with the bolt that came in my Bushmaster upper, or Tromix bolts.

My cousin bought two complete 450 uppers from BCA, and they’re both very accurate. The BCG’s in them look identical to my Toolcraft BCG’s.
