Nothing happened to the old one...I dont have one. I am modifying my AR-15 bolt cleaning tool to work on the .308 versions and need the measurements from the .308 bolt to produce the new tool. I was going to borrow one, or take one out of a gun at the gun shop to measure the dimensions, but I figure if I buy the bolt, I can use it as an excuse to build the rifle around it...
I have an old one without the cuts for the forward assist. Only need the bolt carrier with the cuts - or - I could put the old one on the mill and try to add the cuts.
I was told there is no stock on the current bolt carrier at ArmaLite, and no projection on when they might be available.
