The Faxon 9310 .458 SOCOM / .450 Bushmaster Bolt (.125) – Nitride is a premium AR-15 replacement bolt designed for big-bore performance and dependable cycling. Seeing “MIL-SPEC” as just the starting point, Faxon pairs high-strength materials with enhanced inspection and a durable surface treatment to deliver consistent reliability.
Each bolt is machined from 9310 tool steel, fully heat-treated, shot-peened, and Magnetic Particle Inspected (MPI) to help ensure material integrity. The bolt receives a salt bath nitride finish to increase surface hardness, decrease resistance, and provide excellent corrosion resistance compared to typical phosphate finishes. Bolt lugs are chamfered to support smooth feeding and reliable function—even under demanding loads and fast actions.
The extractor is manufactured from S7 tool steel, fully heat treated, and shot peened per MIL-SPEC to support consistent extraction in hard-running builds.
