    I need a 6.8SPC bolt sooner than later, have had one on order for a couple months now and JP is saying mid May for delivery which is after the first PRS gas gun match which I need it in time for.

    Anyone have a lead to who might have one in stock?

    Also any leads on a Superlative .875" clamp on gas block? I've had one of those on order for a month that still haven't shipped and I can't get anyone on the phone there or to return my messages or emails about order status.

    These are the only two parts I'm missing to complete my Valkyrie build.
     
    really??????

    I literally ordered a JP 6.8 Enhanced bolt on 2/8/18 from JP, and it arrived 3-4 days later. I also got a .875 and .936 Superlative AGB from Midway. Had to get the SS version as melonite was out of stock. Also set screw vs clamp but I can tell you Ive been using both for many many years over 100+ AR's and both work exactly the same.

    It now looks like Midway is sold out of all SA .875 blocks. But the .750 is on sale. Too bad you didnt post this a few days ago. I had too many SA .875 so I sent one back to Midway 2 days ago.

    The bolts showed out of stock when I ordered, not sure how you got one but I didn't or get my backorder filled.

    As far as the block, I ordered directly from Superlative as everyone else showed out of stock or didn't carry that model. Nothing indicating it wasn't in stock, they charged my card and I've gotten nothing. They don't answer the phone, and don't return phone calls or emails. Pretty ridiculous IMO. I've considered going other routes but I couldn't even get through to them if I wanted to cancel the order.

    These two parts are all I'm lacking to finish my rifle. JP was straight up about being backordered but I can't even get through to Superlative.
     
    that's odd, like I said got mine 3 days after ordering 2 weeks ago. I would have gone Rubbery City Armory 6.8 as they are identical quality to JP but were out of stock so I went JP.

    Try emailing SA? I did and got email reply in 24hrs.
     
    Frank White at Compass lake, who is a damn legend by the way in the AR world, told me Rubber City bolts are the most consistent bolts he's seen recently. said he doesn't need your bolt to headspace if your using a rubber city because he can use the one he has in the shop. said they had 50 on hand and they were so consistent from bolt to bolt that he keeps one in the shop now.

    buy with confidence from Rubber City. great, high quality stuff.
     
    I wasn't able to obtain a JP enterprise 6.8 bolt either for the valkeryie build.
    I ended up buying a 6.8 spc bolt from Noveske, but it does not look as nice as that rubber city bolt. Dang.
