450 Bushmaster bolt

So what is a good bolt/BCG to get for the 450B that won't break the bank? Tromix gets many cudos but they are sure proud of their wares.

TIA, Rod.

The Leigh Defense .458 bolt has worked great for me.

As far as carriers go, I haven't seen much of a function difference in the fancy coated ones vs the old phosphate ones, but I will say the nitrided ones seem to clean up a bit faster.

I have a Nickel Boron FailZero BCG. Its been good to me and IMHO, a lot easier to clean than my original phosphated Bushmaster was.

$137 FailZero Link
Hint: A very good deal!

This no-name one is a little cheaper but this is a once in your rifle's lifetime investment, so you know how the rest of this sentence goes...

$99 No-Name Link

Thanks for the link. Peace of mind is worth $30 or so I think. AoA has other stuff I need as well
