Volquartsen Firearms has announced their new S&W M&P 15-22 Competition bolt.
Volquartsen Firearms state “Nothing ruins a day on the range faster than clearing failures to feed or stove-pipes.
Our Competition Bolt for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 will eliminate those issues so you can spend more time shooting.
Plus it’s compatible with the 15-22 rifle as well as the 15-22 pistol.
It is CNC-machined and DLC coated. The bolt comes with our Exact Edge Extractor already installed. Also included is our SureStrike Firing Pin.
The DLC coating means the bolt runs flawlessly with minimal lubrication and maintenance.”

Based on the marketing materials they sent you, I have to wonder if the only difference with this thing is the DLC coating, which people could just have done to their OEM bolts.
They really could have either done a better job of either making functional enhancements or marketing whatever ones they did make, if there even are any.
To elaborate /clarify: I mean, yeah it has their upgraded extractor and firing pin, but anybody who’s gonna spend $175 on this bolt would already have spent the ~$35 on an aftermarket extractor and firing pin.
