Can anybody identify this bolt and carrier? Also, having issues ejecting. Empty doesn't eject and it picks up another round and jams up. Pistol is fairly new and it seemed like it was breaking in and correcting itself, then I cleaned it and the issue is back. Swapping bolts from another rifle and it works fine. Just holding an empty against the bolt and letting go and it flips them right out. Further follow up, I borrowed a spring helper donut from another rifle and that seems to have cleared it up. What's the best course of action, get this one its own donut, or an extra power spring? I have a parts wanted ad in the classifieds.
Back story: I got the BCG in a trade from a co-worker who swears up and down that it's a brand new Anderson that he bought a couple years ago and never used. When I got it, it looked like it had been in a rifle and hand cycled or shot a handful of rounds. It also had the extractor claw broken off. To tell the truth the finish on the carrier looks to good to be Anderson. The only identifying marks are the MPI and two dimples on the bolt and three dimples on the carrier. It's kind of unique in that the front of the carrier has facets machined in instead of a constant round radius. After I received the BCG from him I called around and a local gunsmith had a "good used" extractor he popped on there for $10.
