| Anything special to know? My plan is to just degrease and use Duracoat. Anyone else have suggestions? |

Attached File Well, guess we'll see how the Duracoat holds up... |

https://atlanticfirearms.com/wbp-5-56-akm-bolt-carrier-body Just saw these on Atlantic. I ordered one to see what it’s all about. I figured I can sell the silver finished carrier. I’ll post pics when it comes in |

I went ahead and bought one of those black ones from Atlantic for my Mini Jack 556. Definitely like the looks of it better than the raw ones. And on a side note, it helped a lot with adding a KNS piston as the original piston rivet is blended VERY well into the carrier

Mine wouldn't even cycle enough to eject the casing. Pretty sure the AGP-A-23 small bore is what is needed. I have an email out to KNS |
