works great. wish the finish was matte instead of glossy
cycles smooth right out of the box. carrier finish stays clean longer than my last one
C158 bolt, phosphate carrier, runs to spec. extractor spring tension was on the soft side from the factory, ejection was a touch lazy at 5 oclock on M193. swap to an enhanced extractor spring fixed it. for the price point a solid budget BCG
aero 5.56 BCG with C158 bolt, lockup is positive and the bolt face gauges in spec with my Forster set. phosphate finish is consistent, no thin spots near the gas key. aero logo is etched on the carrier side, subtle but present
