Good catch, I just learned of the bolt being in backwards this morning... I should have looked at the pics gabuzz sent on my PC rather than my smart phone. He is going to swap the bolt and re-test.

I was just being a smart ass when I saw the pics on Tom's computer.
Actually the Cam pin should not be able to be inserted that way -- very strange

He should be along shortly...
Well as a few have mentioned, I screwed up the orientation of the bolt when I swapped the extractors. I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS EVEN POSSIBLE. Obviously, this was my fault; however, I think I may have uncovered yet another issue with either the bolt or the cam pin. Based on my conversation with others....this is not supposed to be possible. The cam pin can definitely be inserted into the bolt as is evidenced by the pics below. Before anyone asks...no I didn't use a hammer, punch or any other tool to get the cam pin into the bolt....just by hands. Of course, I am going to test the new extractor, but something else is out of spec. I'm sure KAC has 10,000 bolts laying around...surely this is something they would warranty. Let me know what you think guys.

Dude that is way weird. It should not be possible - however an infinity number of monkey on an infinite number of typewriters etc.
Email Tom and I, and I will get him to give you an RMA, as I want to look at it.
Who's Bolt Carrier is that? There is a cutout on the Gas Key I have never seen before.

Its a Fail Zero carrier.
That's really ****ing weird.
We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
The hits just keep coming. I kinda doubt Knights sent a fail Zero, I would guess we have a couple monkey wrenches. I have an SR-15 that runs like a champ.
I'm very interested, I may put an AAC adapter on mine and run it suppressed, just to see what happens. My guess is it will run and run and run. But who knows. Seems like the OP is trying to be legit, but then we "fail at zero". .????

I would love to see the results of you testing your 16" SR-15 suppressed... His gun also ran like a champ before the 7.62 SDN-6 came into play. Not sure why you doubt that Gabuzz is having issues, that are unrelated to the aftermarket carrier. If you read my posts in this thread you know this is not an isolated incident.
