PursuitSS Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Does anyone know if anyone is offering (or going to offer) an Aluminum or Titanium bolt carrier again? I've owned both a Smith Enterprises Aluminum carrier and a Progressive Machine & Tool Titanium carrier in the past. I'm currently running a J.P. Enterprises LMOS Carrier Progressive Machine & Tool Titanium Carrier Smith Enterprises Aluminum Carrier J.P. Enterprises LMOS Carrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangGreg66 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't know. I'm guessing thats the older JP Aluminum BCG. Any idea what the newer SS low mass BCG that they offer weighs in at? I've been running the Young Manufacturing Super Light BCG, I wonder what that comes in at as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos are labeled as to manufacturer. The Aluminum is a Smith Enterprises, the weight of the J.P. Enterprises QPQ Stainless carrier is 6.3 ounces, the newer units weigh 6.85 ounces.

So that's an older SS JP carrier, and the newer SS ones are a shade heavier. Didn't they make an Aluminum one also? I'm guessing that one's even lighter.

They did offer an Aluminum carrier several years ago. IIRC, the weight was close to the Smith Enterprise Aluminum carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many rounds do you have on that 25y old Al carrier? Probably no more than 1,000 rounds. What gets torn up on the Aluminum carriers is the area where the hammer rides as the carrier cycles.
