140,000 round bolt life? 7:43 mark. ?

Leads me to believe it's a Geissele bolt as well as all the other G$ parts in the rifle. They claim similar type numbers on their "enhanced" bolt. It think it's hammer forged and DLC coated.

For $3K+, just don't see the reason to buy the B&t over a Super Duty on a black Friday or 4th of July sales for literally less half the cost.

The Titanium rail jsut isn't that big of a selling point.

There's nothing substantiating that claim in independent testing. AR-15 bolts, by design, are a dice toss when it comes to how long they last. I've seen numerous tests where a bolt has let go at 3k rounds while another from the same lot made it more than 15k. If you have a perfectly blueprinted rifle, conduct good cleaning and maintenance, and shoot nothing but plain ball ammo you can probably get 100k rounds out of an entire BCG.

I think these were announced at ShotShow 2024, but they are available now. 300 blackout looks pretty cool.
