Not sure how or why an anti-tilt carrier would increase accuracy or help anything in a DI gun. A piston AR is another story.
The bullet has left the bore before the carrier begins it's rearward movement, correct? I believe this to be true with most common AR-15 barrel lengths/gas system lengths. Not so sure about 26'' space guns.
Also, there is inherently some wiggle between the bolt and bolt carrier. Slight. So even if the carrier had zero tilt and rode on linear bearing rails, the bolt itself could tilt ever so slightly whichever way it wants to. The ejector's/extractor's pressure on a chambered cartridge might pre-load(tilt) the bolt to some extent too. I guess this could be effected by cartridge headspace.
Finally, let's say the carrier is moving rearward just before the bullet has left the muzzle, a mm or two, wouldn't the tilt be the same each time and therefore not hurt accuracy?
