Nyx Bolt Carrier Group

Checking to see if there is any merit in this. Looks similar in concept to the Surefire/Jim Sullivan designed long stroke bolt carrier. Unfortunately its made of Ti and comes with an NiB bolt and has some non-staked gas key which makes me question if this will hold up to hard use.

What's your goal? If it's paying 4x the cost of a proven product it will be perfect. If you're trying to build some kind of ultra light carry more than you shoot rig it might be ok too. But otherwise too many added parts/variables to put in something that you want too be 100% dependable.

They lost me at "tuned recoil experience".

It would match a Salient Arms Glock.

You might try running that BCG in a dual-forward-assist Cobalt Ar.

Why is it here?

I mean, just: WHY?

$525?

-All that and they can't stake the gas key?

-What's the life of those springs? Can you get spares?

-I'm not crazy about the tiny snap ring at the end, either.

-Lots of cost and complexity for little return. What problem does it solve?

Why? Because actually doing something with the tail of carrier is a huge step forward in improving the M16 fow. Jim Sullivan and surefires carrier is similar in nature but it's vapor wear. I believe the ferfrans carrier also does something similar but you can't buy them anymore. Doing something like putting a miniature constant recoil system in the tail of carrier would be ingenious. Even if the nyx carrier is poorly thought out and executed it's still a step forward that I hope other designers will start toying with.

M16 fow.

what's 'fow'? family of weapons?
the ferfrans carrier is for rate reduction on full auto.

Yes, ar-15/M16 family of weapons. Ive never seen a ferfrans bolt carrier in person so Im unsure how it actually works. Does it use a counter weight system? I know the Sullivan bolt carrier uses a duel spring design.

That's not the direction that I would be looking towards.
