Forward Controls Design SBCG Dimpled Forward Assist Surface (Bolt Carrier Group)

The factory M16 carriers are very good, and improvements over them would be hard to come by. Modern coatings have made them easy to clean and quite slick, which we can appreciate. We're not into sacrificing reliability for the sake of light weight, and we view cosmetic changes as anything but fashion that have no place on a combat/duty/defense rifle. Forward Controls experimented with a slight modification to an existing bolt carrier with regards to ergonomics for slick side uppers, the project had turned into a fun project with practical and reliability improvements. The S in SBCG stands for Secure Staking, Slick Side. SBCG carrier has a series of serrations or dimples to aid in closing an out of battery bolt on upper receivers without a forward assist. The carrier still has forward assist pawl notches, and so is compatible with forward assist equipped uppers.
