Trevarm Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I am looking to get a lightweight bolt carrier that has serrations for a forward assist. My rifle has a forward assist, so I would like to keep it functional as long as it is there. From looking around I am thinking either the Faxon lightweight BCC or the Rubber City Armory titanium carrier. Anyone have any input on these two BCGs or any others?

EaZeNuTZ33 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have multiple RCA lightweight and titanium carriers and they work without issue while retaining that function. I've been using them since 2013 and will be using them next year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1911 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have a standard weight RCA whose gas key has a tendency to loosen up after a few hundred rounds. YMMVSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamge Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The Voodoo Innovations LW BC has FA serrations. http://www.voodooinnovations.com/vdi-lifecoat-low-mass-bolt-carrier-group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Iron City Rifle Works has a very good selection of BCG's they have several different finishes available and weigh 8oz for the competition line of BCG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieD Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 RCA titanium (7oz) or JP aluminum (5oz), both are great. I would really like to see RCA offer the titanium machined like their steel low mass for an even lighter carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosiershooter Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The JP ultra low mass carrier would fit that role.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCKLST Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have been running the Iron City carrier and it has been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseTischauser Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Trust me you don't need a working forward assist in 3-gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevarm Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) I am well aware that I really don't need the forward assist, but my upper has the forward assist button so I would like to keep it functional as long as it is there. Just me being wierd I guess. Edited October 8, 2017 by Trevarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
