Bolt problems. Maybe up to 1000 rounds now.
CSA is taking good care of me though.
Known batch of 2013 guns are affected.
You got one or are considering buying one?

Hot girls that are smart, and put out.
How many rounds?
The manufacture year is written on the bottom right of the rear sight.
This is what I suspect happened:
1) In manufacturing, parts are made individually and put into a parts bin for assembly.
2) there's a possibility there was a bad batch of bolts
3) this bad batch of bolts was inserted into the "bolt parts bin" and mixed in with the good bolts
4) as rifles are assembled, bolts are taken from the bin
5) over time the number of bad bolts diminishes but the possibility remains that a gun will have a bad bolt until the parts bin is completely renewed/emptied
6) CSA, not knowing which are the bad bolts and which are the good will handle bad guns by merely giving you a new bolt
Anecdotally, it seems that if you have a bad bolt the problem will occur in 300 rounds or less. So if you shoot 300 or more, your gun is safe.
Question for those who have gotten new parts from North Sylva - did they request you to send in your rifle, or did you just ask for a new bolt? How do they prove that you have a bad bolt? Thanks!

I've got one 7.5" and one 18.5" both .223, one certainly 2012, the other either 2012 or 2011.
No bolt problems
500 rounds through the 7.5"
Just shy of 1000 rounds through the 18.5"

I have a CSA x39 NR
Bolt body failed at 400ish rounds, damaged carrier in process

You said it failed in "less than 300" rounds in the other thread. That's where I got the "300" number in my previous post, since your number was the highest round count before failure.

What year is your gun? It's written on the bottom right of the rear sight. Thanks.
