Hey guys I went to a local antique market this past week and picked up a breech bolt from the gau-8. Its in ok condition, the only markings on it are a "B 1 W" any idea what this means, also I was wandering about how many rounds do they go through before changing them out?

Do you have a complete bolt assembly? How much did you give for it? The gun bolts are time change items but I cant remember at which "K" inspection we used to change them. Maybe some of the guys still lucky enough to work on them could tell you.

Yes its a complete assembly, and he didn't know what it was, but through browsing the internet and seeing pictures I knew what it was.
I cost me $15. When I get my digital camera working I'll post pictures.

I'm thinking 30,000 rounds but I could be wrong.

I won't get back to work until Monday, but I'll get with some of the backshoppers I know and get you an exact answer for this one. That is a great find, but I'm wondering how it ever wound up at an antique store. You could definately make a profit off of that on EBay. Are there any other markings still on it?

Demilled is pretty subjective. It does not take much to demill it.

As I recall from trying to demill some, they have to be in pieces.
