307a Bolt?

[liam.mccaffrey]

just bent a fbbc 307A 5/16" bolt that youdimmers sent me and it was super HARD!!!!!!!

i see it only calls at 300lbs. but would say it was nearly as hard a bend as my new reds and theyre supposed to cal to 460???????

i know you can't compare cals for different lengths but these bolts are supposed to be easier than G5's, i have some really hard G5's Ben snet me and they're nowhere near as hard as my 307A.

has there been more than one of these calibrated?

cheers guys

I have those FBBC 5/16 bolt and I think it's very very hard.

307A bolts vary quite a bit. I've no doubt the one you bent is indeed a real tough one.

Liam,

Glad you found that bolt tough! i thought there was something wrong when i saw it cal at 300lb as i couldn't crush the darn thing even after pre kinking it

again, it just goes to show how much steel varies! nice bend though, i imagine that was a good step up from the red for you?

[liam.mccaffrey]

i would say it was just a tiny bit easier than a red, certainly way harder than G5

nice bolt though, thanks pete

When i was around the red level maxwell brought some fbbc bags back from the US these bolts were included and they were harder than the 2 types of reds i had bent.
