That's pretty much exactly how the NEA bolt carrier is, but it has a built in buffer at the end with a shake weight. Since the part of the spring rides on the bolt carrier you cannot break it down traditionally, you have to remove both pins and slide it forward. <a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/user/anibal999r/media/nea.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j203/anibal999r/nea.jpg</a> Quote HistoryQuoted:

I have never seen any of those uppers with the recoil built in the only one I was aware of was the Faxon. I also have the 300blk barrel for it but I have tried it yet. This gun is built around the 4" buffer tube for pistol use. The bolt carrier is proprietary it is cut down on the OD to allow a long recoil spring to go over the BCG. It actually shoots rather nice no kick or issues . I did add a small urethane bumper to the end of the bolt carrier so it bottoms out on that instead of coil bind or just hitting the end of the tube. The biggest negative is you have to disassemble the buffer and remove the spring from the end of the tube before you can open the rifle up. <a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/908ssp/media/machinework/_1012543_zps55923337.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r245/908ssp/machinework/_1012543_zps55923337.jpg</a> That's pretty much exactly how the NEA bolt carrier is, but it has a built in buffer at the end with a shake weight.

My Adam's Arms gun has bit more recoil than I think it should but I think I need to cut back on the gas a bit. The Elcan gun uses an adjustable gas block and I think that might be a key to cutting those added ounces out of the buffer. The bumper I added to my 4" buffer tube bolt carrier looks exactly like yours but has no extra weight and it shoots really soft and seem to function as expected. No failures of any kind. |

From what i have read the shaker weights are to prevent bolt bounce on high rates of fire. As the bolt goes into battery at a fast rate it wants to bounce back, and the little shaker weight acts like a counter movement to that bounce. I might have it all wrong but it makes sense. |

You've got the gist of it, it functions like a dead-blow hammer to prevent bolt bounce. In a M16, bad bolt bounce could lead to anything from light strikes and failures to fire to case head separations and out of battery discharges. |

Really like what you did with the top rail there. Gonna be a game changa!

Did you mill out the rail on top of the upper? or is that part of the Balios-lite's existing design? and did you mill out that last section on the handguard to match it? either way, that is extreme measures of weight saving.

The rail on the Balios lite already has those milled out sections on the picatinny rail. I did it to the rail aesthetically just to match. The part of the rail that has the mlok milled slots I did it to accomplish a slimmer design. I was not too concerned about the weight I think it only cut about .5 of a oz. |

A stripped BALIOS-lite set will save you 1/4 of a pound over a stripped forged set on average.

If i would of purchased all these parts at one time i would of lost some hair in the process. lol I'm slowly gathering the tooling needed to make the carbon fiber stock, it will be a reality soon.

I just got done sanding and polishing the bolt carrier, i just did what is seen and let me tell y'all this coating is hard as fuk!!! I couldn't sand it off with sand paper so i had to tape it off and sand blast it off. Then i had to go through the process of sanding with different grits. And finally flame anodizing!
I think it came out looking bad ass! the picture really doesn't do it justice it's hard to get a good angle of it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just got done sanding and polishing the bolt carrier, i just did what is seen and let me tell y'all this coating is hard as fuk!!! I couldn't sand it off with sand paper so i had to tape it off and sand blast it off. Then i had to go through the process of sanding with different grits. And finally flame anodizing!
I think it came out looking bad ass! the picture really doesn't do it justice it's hard to get a good angle of it. <a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/user/anibal999r/media/6cceb34e-5be0-428f-a9a4-42b5ca6fb536.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j203/anibal999r/6cceb34e-5be0-428f-a9a4-42b5ca6fb536.jpg</a> Needs moar side charger?

Edit: was intended for backbencher. |
