WOA Barrel to get the bolt or not?

[Strangedays]

Is it worth getting the bolt with their match barrel? What can I expect with the bolt compared to minus the bolt?

I got one with the last barrel I bought. They are cheaper than buying a factory bolt from Brownells at dealer cost. Nice to have an extra bolt to use if needed.

its always better to get it with a headspaced bolt, but you could see if it headspaced with the bolt you have also.

My question is how can you check the headspace?

It's said you want to keep bolts and barrels together as a used bolt has the possibility of making the new barrel extension and itself wear faster.

When I bought a WOA 16" barrel last spring (didn't ship till late summer), I ordered it with the bolt. It shipped without one, and with a note saying they were out...

White Oak Precision would be a barrel that has a hand fit extension to the bolt supplied, White Oak Armament is a mass produced barrel set to specs not individual bolts.

Kinda like you can get two grades of barrels from Rock Creek.....

I always get the Bolts. i figure for 50 bucks it can't hurt. I have one of their 6.8 SPC barrels that shoots like a champ and a 18in 1:12 Varmint i ordered yesterday (with bolt). They told me shipping on barrels was only 6-10 weeks. better than the 5 months i waited last time. But they shoot like a house of fire.
