    Huh...

    If it works just as well, however, then I'd be really interested.

    Also, can we just have someone freakin try the thing? If for some reason it's just as good as a BCM bolt, then we could save some money every time we purchased a bolt. If it's a good bolt, and it's cheaper than the competitors, what's so bad about that? I don't see any thing about the design, besides the single gas ports, that makes it look worse than other designs.

    It's really hard to judge by the size, but that [critter] looks to be in the class of "Big Mother ****er" and perhaps the family of "Stay the **** Back"

    it's not a bolt, nor a BCG. it's just a carrier. an expensive one.

    In my rush, I seemed to have not noticed that. Thanks for the correction. I seem to lump the bolt and the BCG together also... It's a bad habit, I know.

    I just went to PWS website, and looked at another picture of it. The bolt staking looks pretty bad, comparable to a Bushmaster, but the photo was at a bad angle, so I could be wrong.

    The PWS carrier with the Isonite coating is listed for $99 at the Brownell's webpage. Plain Jane carriers are about the same. The FailZero carrier with it's Exo coating is $175. $99 for a carrier with a "special coating" looks pretty cheep to me. Yes, I realize I'm taking about carriers only not complete BCGs.

    (Please don't confuse what I'm saying with "Holy Toledo! That carrier rocks- everyone should try it!" I don't even know if the thing will work or that the Isonite coating is worth considering. Just saying it's cheep compared to other plated carriers)

    ETA- Ok, Bravo Company has standard carriers for $70, a better price than those listed at Brownell's

    Honestly, I think someone should just buy it and learn about it the fun way.

    This product could range from POS to something along the line of KAC's E3 bolt in terms of impact on a AR's performance. Most likely, it will just end up being another bolt carrier that looks cooler than the rest and will be a little easier to clean, but only testing will actually tell.

    compared to bravo's $69, i suppose $30 isn't a HUGE difference... next to G&R's $42 carrier, though, it's a bigger difference.

    if you want a "special" coating...? i don't, personally.

    Yeah, after I made the post, I checked out Bravo Company and edited to include that. I should have reversed that order of events.

    I did order a Failzero carrier just to try it out. I hope I like it's special coating. Worse case, I paid too much for a carrier and a standard carrier will go into my next AR

    I've tried to let this go, but it bothers the hell out of me. You seriously expect expect us to shell out our hard-earned cash on an idea we view to be obviously stupid to satisfy YOUR curiosity/optimism? If you're so hot to see how it performs, buy it yourself and post about it. If you're unwilling, stop trying to make us do it for you.
