anyone willing to test a Bolt Carrier
I'm having (5) bolt carriers manufactured using HY-100 steel. This is the same material US submarines are made from and are virtually indestructible and resistant to corrosion. The steel is certified MIL-S-21952 C/D and T9074-BD-GIB-010/0300 and rated at 100,000psi. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HY-80. Our company manufactures replacement parts for the Ohio Class Submarines and I had some material left over, the material I have has been ultra sound, X-RAY, gamma irradiated and stress test.
Having said that, I am wanting to know if anyone would want to test these out for me. Possibly a few thousand rounds should provide enough feedback. Basically I'm wanting someone to try to destroy these bolt carriers through heavy firing, wet/humid conditions, carbon build up, different types of ammo etc. I don't know if there is a market for these considering these would probably cost around $400-$500 but perhaps last a lifetime. Anyways, let me know if you have interest or wanting more information.

I’d be willing to test one out, unfortunately right now I can’t see myself putting a round count of that magnitude through it, maybe in a few months, I could but right now I wouldn’t be much help.
How are these being manufactured, will the carrier key be made of the same material? Is there even a carrier key, or is it just the stripped carrier?
Would a metal of that composite have any adverse effect on the aluminum receivers over use? I’m not a metallurgist, but have read a few books on alchemy :sarcasm:
