Please enlighten my ignorance. Bula makes different size bolts for headspacing M1As? Is this because of chrome lined barrels?
Please explain, I am trying to learn, not criticize.
Yes. They have been doing this for a few years now. Most USGI Chrome lined barrels were difficult to impossible to headspace properly with commercial receivers. Bula has made it possible to attain a decent headspace with Chrome lined or even some take off barrels that had previously been reamed to a different receiver. I bought my first armorer's kit from them about 6 years ago. There are a lot of barrels that can be used for something other than tomato stakes using the correct bolt.
Thanks very much. If I buy a barrel from Bula, can I buy a bolt that will headspace to it? Would I have to send them my receiver, or do they match up bolt and barrel with a stock receiver?
As you can tell, I'm new to the M14 world.
Thanks!
