Why is it so hard to locate just a rifle bolt?

[LuckySG]

I have been acquiring parts to make upgrades on my remington 700 in .300 win mag and the idea came to mind that for just a few more pieces I could have two decent rifles. No problem finding receivers, but I don't want to pay for the factory trigger if you get the bolt with the trigger, I will just toss it aside. Suggestions for shops or sites that have a bolt I may want? Does not need to be titanium having some weight is okay by me!

Lots of options on MidwayUSA or Brownells.

I did see the one PTG model, but is is backordered and more than I would pay for the receiver and bolt package from the factory. I have been so disappointed with Brownells being out of stock I stopped looking there. Thank you for the suggestion to give them another try!

You gents have convience me it is less expensive to buy the package and gift the trigger. Anyone want a free trigger when it arrives?

The PTG bolt/receivers are trued IIRC that's why the additional cost.
