New Belgian bolts and extractors, one piece vs two piece????

**Thorack** · June 15, 2011, 06:57

Ok,

I've got a couple of brand new Belgian bolts and both are the one piece extractor versions. I've seen the early BGS bolts and they are two piece extractors. So when and why did the change over happen?

Were the Israelis involved at all?

Very curious

The Israeli and Argy FAL's used both.
H&R T48 used the 2-pc, but the Belg T-48 used the 1-pc.

The Belgian M1 was also a 1-piece.

It would seem that between 1954 and 1956 when allot of countries started placing orders that improved parts were developed and ordered most likely at the last minute before production went into effect for that country.
