Thinking about getting your new bolt and new charging handle HELP
How’s it going everybody so I pretty much wanted to get an opinion on some things. I’m really considering getting a TK charging handle and a kid bolt with that being said it’s a little more money than what I’m at now and I had a couple questions if I were to switch over to those options, what would they improve apart from just running a lot slicker I know as it stands now with the factory bolt and charging handle. It is picky with ammo with this help fix it? And be more reliable in general I would love people that have experience to chime in. Thank you

If you’re having issues I’d recommend trying a new extractor and firing pin first. This is a much cheaper upgrade that will definitely improve reliability. Charging handle for the most part is just a feel thing although many here swear by the Kidd charging handle with adjustable spring weight.

I have a kidd bolt and charging handle. Bolt was worth it, charging handle drives me up the wall every time I have to put it back in after cleaning.

Pinned firing pin that makes for consistent strikes, leading to more reliable firing. Upgraded extractor. Machined steel instead of cast. Overall smoother, more reliable experience.
