I own two AR type rifles. One in .223, (RRA) the other in .308. (DPMS)
The .308 has just over 1500 rds through it, the .223, about the same.
Both are and have been completely reliable with no jams, ftf, fte etc when fed even half decent ammo. (darned accurate too)
My question is are the bolts failure prone? Or more accurately, a normal wear item needing replacement after XXXX # of rounds through them?
I do have spare parts kits for both, but am interested in knowing if I should perform preventive maintenance on either of them and if so when.
