It seems that the JP 308 bolt is about 0.001 to 0.002 larger in diameter at the band near the extractor pin than the DPMS bolt. I expect the JP 308 bolt was designed for the JP bolt carrier. That bolt will not work in the carrier of my RND Manufacturing 308 rifle. Just a heads up to check diameters before trying to replace a 308 bolt with a JP bolt.

I'm running 2 DPMS and a Milspec bolt carriers in 2 rifles and 1 extra upper I have had no problems. They are snug when you push the bolt all the way in but I figured that's better than sloppy.

No issues so far
