12 to 20 yards in length and about 1 yard wide
The M16 assault rifle's bolt and bolt carrier are made of steel.
Depends on the material used in the bolt, the loading it will be subject to and the environment it will be used in.
To prevent the material that the bolt is being screwed into from giving way, or being damaged. The washer displaces the pressure over a larger area which allows the bolt to still hold, but not damage the material.
For what I read tonight, as I am doing my Big Block, the 4 bolt main is 110LBS
This depends on the manufacturer of the material and what type of material is on the bolt. A bolt is not necessarily a unit of measure for material, it is simply a means of wrapping the fabric neatly for both the transport and sale of the material. A bolt can also only carry a certain amount of weight depending on the strength of the cardboard. Therefore, the amount of material on a bolt can vary greatly. In regards to "how much" meaning "how much does a bolt of material cost" (if this is what is being asked), this also depends greatly on the type of material. Fabric can range in price anywhere from <$1 a yard to >$200 a yard depending on the type.

A bolt is a unit of measure of something usually stored on a roll, typically 40 or 100 yards, but is dependent on the particular material. A bolt of canvas, for instance, is 39 yards.
Tensile strength is a material propery, it does not depend on size. Look at a material chart to find its yield and tensile strenghts. Then use the stress equation, Stress = Force / Area to determine if your .375 bolt can handle the force on it. If your bolt is in shear, you need to find Shear strenghts.
5 lug on 5" centers (big bolt pattern for gm)
It can be either a 2 or 4 bolt
It is not really answerable, depends on many factors. Bolt size thread pitch of the bolt material the bolt is made of that material the bolt is screwed into lubricated/unlubricated and what with what it was initially torqued to If you have Snap on tech100/250 torque wrench it will give you a final torque #, I have seen torque readings double the intial torque # after the 90 degrees.
