Hi
I am 3 parts to away from finishing my build one being an Op Rod.
Has anyone used PW arms op rod.
They are forged and only $139.00.
Just wanted to know if they are as good as the other brands.
With used ones going for $180 and up I was wondering why no one was useing the PW Arms Op Rod.
Thanks
Greg

The op rods made by Thrustline Manufacturing are made right here in the U.S.A. and are similarly priced to the PWs. I haven't heard of anyone using them, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has. if you do a forum search, you might find a couple of threads that talked about them a while back.

Thanks for the link.
The ad in the link reads allmost exactly the same as the ad for the PW Arms op rod.
I wonder if they are the same company?

If you do some forum searches, I believe you'll find some info regarding both companies. The Thrustline op rod is made in the U.S. I believe the PW is Korean.

This the thread that "introduced" the Thrustline op rod:

Here's a thread about the PW Arms op rod.

That was a good link. I can buy my bolt and op rod in the same place and his price's arn't out of sight.
Has any one used his product's and have any comments on them?

I don't think the Thrustline bolts ever made it into production. If you don't want to spend the money for a U.S.G.I. bolt, I think LRB is your only option?

So far everything I have bought except my barrel and stock are USGI and maybe the scope mount isn't USGI as I havn't checked it yet.
This has got a little expensive but I knew it would be buying a part at a time.
I think I will buy one of the thrustline Op Rod as I havn't heard anything bad about it.
All I will need after I buy the op rod and bolt is the receiver and I can put it together and go shooting.

TMI op rod looks really good for the price, may have to check it out for the next build.
