Precision-machined (and upgraded) in the U.S.A.
Our M16-profiled bolt carrier group is manufactured using properly heat-treated 8620 and 9310 tool steel, affording identical performance and reliability to units with C158 bolts at a much lower price. Each bolt and carrier receives quality gas seals on every bolt. Extractors are upgraded to S7 tool steel, affording even greater reliability when cycling than other units.
Each gas carrier key is machined from solid bar stock, then secured with Grade 8 fasteners. All gas carrier keys are expertly torqued and staked. The gas key is treated with an upgraded nitride coating, which provides better wear resistance and naturally higher lubricity compared to old phosphating methods used years before. The entire carrier is also nitrided to provide ample protection from heat with incredibly smooth cycling and easy cleaning, even when heavily fouled.
Finally, each bolt is high-pressure tested (HPT), and MPI (magnetic particle inspected) before shipment, ensuring every unit is free of defects and ready to cycle thousands of rounds. Our meticulous manufacturing, assembly, and quality control processes make our M16-profile BCGs a truly battle-ready component in your next AR rifle or pistol build, at a great price.
