Does anyone have a source for the retaining spring clips for the bolt rollers?? Also, does anyone know where I can get some spare bolt rollers??
I just got a spare bolt to eventually use in my TNW MG34 and the bolt rollers seem a bit worn and have a few dings and wear spots. Also, I think that the retaining spring clips may be worn as I was able to pull off the rollers with my bare fingers. The rollers also seem to be a bit loose for my liking as they can slide back and forth a bit on the shaft that the rollers mount to. The rollers on my other bolt seem to be a bit more snug than the bolt I just bought.
Thanks,
Eric

If a roller has dings, dents, flat spots, chips, or rust pits, it's a junker. Showing a little wear is one thing, having physical damage is quite another. It'll just beat the barrel extension to death, so don't use it. Rollers have to be flawless. If the bolt is unusable due to damaged rollers, send it back and ask for another. You didn't buy the thing to make a lamp out of it, so a good seller will exchange it for one that will suit the purpose.
