The Sharps Relia-Bolt

Relia-Bolt
The Sharps Rifle Company is selling a new AR-15 bolt called the Relia-Bolt. Some of the features the new bolt offers are:
- redesigned lugs to “…virtually eliminate the most common MSR malfunction, the bolt to barrel extension jam.”
- machined from S7 tool steel for increased strength
- NP3 coating
- compatible with all AR-15/M-16 type rifles
- lifetime warranty
However, one reader suggested the bolt could be fragile in very cold temperatures and might even break when used in sub-freezing temperatures. What do you think?
Thanks to Zack for the tip.

So I was able to pick one of these up for $70 today locally with my friends dealer discount. Figured for that price why not, that is just a few bucks more than a standard bolt and at that price I can mow give this bolt a try.
I figure worste case it is just as good as a .mil bolt and best case far better. Would be interesting to see if this eliminates the bolt lugs breaking at the 8,000 mark in my M4A1.
Bit of info, these are now going for $80 direct from broadswordgroup, but it must be purchased through them as they are bypassing vendors and giving us the best price possible.
