In a world where everybody seemingly wants to use the heaviest buffer they can reliably run along with a full auto carrier ......Why is a light mass bcm now desirable?

And yes.... That thing looks demented.

That low mass carrier with designed by Spike's specifically for their 3-gun rifles, and nothing else. They were trying a different approach than the one that JP Enterprises was following.

This is for competition rifles.

But where is the advantage? if heavy mass things like h2 buffers and full auto carriers "dampen felt recoil" and slow cycle rate, than wouldn't using low mass componants allow the bcg to be tossed around too violently/quikly creating a weapn that recoils violently and cycles fast enough to induce malfunctions? What about bolt bounce?

I saw 3 of those on a prize table at a big 3gun match last summer so the seller is incorrect. There is some "out" in the public. IIRC the JP LMOS carrier is still lighter.

I run several comps. I don't figure I'm a comp guru, but I've run BattleComp, Rainiers RMC, and am currently running a Z-comp.

I'm talking about all the silly springs and carrier gimmicks that maybe entirely appropriate for the competition realm... but newer AR shooters get tempted to start monkeying with that in a defense gun.

Oh... I've gone out to the matches here to check em out. Not my thing. I'm more talking about the specific mods/gear in the ARs.

Not really. Just weigh the BCG and make up for the mass with a properly weighted buffer. Run the usual spring. The advantage is, with a buffer made correctly, you get more damping

Leave it to someone to complicate a simple design into something much more difficult to fine tune. Must be a bitch to get the right spring and buffer combination to work.

You guys need to embrace modern materials and technology. This BCG isn't the solution; we need a Carbon Fiber BCG with steel inserts for the gas key & rings and firing pin.

Carbon Fiber, bro... it will be damn near weightless - you won't even need a buffer!! AND, you could let TOS members design their own artwork and set that as the last ply so you get a "custom" BCG look with your own logo visible thru the dust cover. We'll use cloth and we can get that in different patterns and also with different color weaves (threads that hold the carbon fibers together) so instead of just a grey BCG, you can get one with red weaves, or green weaves. We should prob start with a custom red, white, blue cloth weave with a flag insert for the dust cover and also one with zombie green and a zombie for the dust cover area. It would be soo sweet brah. We can sell Zombie Killer kits with zombie green highlighted carbon fiber BCGs, zombie green handguards, pistol grips, trigger guards, and stocks. And an upgraded version with one of those corner shot prism things so you can shoot zombies around corners!!

:jester:

It's the wave of the future gents...

That's called a "field stake" it actually works well. It's an acceptable method for repair in the military.

I have one carrier that is staked like that. You actually get good fastener head contact from a meatier part of the key.

The DPMS for $285 has a rich description.



"You are bidding on a brand new M16 bolt carrier group. It does not have any commercial cut-aways, this is true and full mil-spec. DPMS is the manufacturer."

You mean the rifle that all the Elite forces are now using like DEVGRU, SFOD-D, ICE, numerous SWAT agencies, Border patrol, ect?

Please tell me that isn't what they are advertising.

They will do well, we already sold 100's of Compressor's with MRS suppressors. The US Special Forces, ICE, Border Patrol, Secret Service, Australian Military, and about 30 different PD's and SWAT teams are doing or have already done T&E on the ST Compressor. Because of the success of the Compressor we decided to invest BIG $ in the suppressor project. We spared no expense when it came to anything. The sound meter alone was 5k. 2012 should be an interesting year. :-)

Looks like it was cut with a torch.

Boy I can't wait to see the carnage of when that comes apart! Say by by to a $4000 3 Gun rig!:haha: Oh thats right they probably use special light loads to help reduce recoil as well! :rolleyes:

It Was cut with a torch, its been de-milled. The military doesn't just throw some things in the recycle bin they make sure the item is un usable be for it goes in the trash.

Pretty soon they're going to start marketing dimpled triggers, magazines, buttocks, and bullets.

Dimpled buttocks?

I had to get an entire 55 gallon drum of parts like this demilled once. When the AF converted our A1s to A2s the base I was at swapped out over a thousand chrome slick sided carriers to the black ones with FA cuts. We had to cut everyone of them up. I remember the TM called for more cuts than that I think. Very sad day.

this is probably the case

That's called a "field stake" it actually works well. It's an acceptable method for repair in the military.

I have one carrier that is staked like that. You actually get good fastener head contact from a meatier part of the key.

Might be enough to hold you until you can reach a MOACKS.

I wouldn't mind a really light weight bolt carrier group in one of my AR's that has an adjustable gas block, but the carrier linked to by the OP doesn't look sound.

I have an AR that I re-barreled and it is more or less ending up looking a lot like a 3 gun rig. Running an adjustable gas block in conjunction with a non "H" marked buffer really makes the cycling nice and smooth with any load I have tried. I also put an utterly obnoxious Dreadnaught F2 compensator on it instead of a flash hider since my days of getting into gun fights at night ended when I returned from Iraq and got out of the Corps. Plus I have a Colt 6920 for serious social applications...

At any rate where light loads are concerned, it is my experience with that comp and maybe more dedicated 3 gunners can chime in here, that the hotter the load the better the comp works. It seems like the more gas I can get to it, the less muzzle movement I get. Frankly it makes me laugh like a lunatic every time I shoot that rifle because it can be run so hard, and just about never leave the target.

The noise is horrendous though, and I'm pretty sure the side blast could scour paint off of a wall. The upside is that even at up to 15X I can spot my own hits in the scope, which is really handy on coyotes.

That's because the muzzle brake is like a rocket engine- the more gas you put through it, the more thrust it makes

Figured it was something along those lines.

MK 262 and equivalent reloads, both which seem to be on the hot side really run the comp well.

Weak sauce BHA 55gr remanufactured and even weaker Wolf 55gr seemed to have more muzzle movement.

Been doing small arms repair for the military for 20 years now. You will find hundreds of thousands of M16 series rifles with stakes like that well into the 50K rounds fired range without a hiccup.

It bend metal into the fastener head effectively. It looks odd, but is no less effective than lateral stakes.

That is true. It is also true the higher pressure the gas the more thrust which is why muzzle brakes on guns like 458 SOCOM or 450 Bushmaster have little effect. By the time the bullet exits the muzzle the gas has expanded in the large bore to such an extent that it has relatively low pressure as compared to a 7.62 or a 5.56.
