So I just unboxed my brand new kac cqb upper today , noticed something weird with the Bolt carrier , is this normal from coating or is this a jacked up bolt carrier? Yes I cleaned it , it does not wipe off its like the finish did not get applied properly or something I dunno never seen one look this bad from factory .

Poor prep or contamination prior to finishing maybe. Assume these aren't scratches you can feel with your fingernail?

KAC standard carriers all look like shit.  I would apply oil all over it and see if that seasons the carrier.

I do see that it is a bit more raggedy than usual but I'm sure after a bunch of shooting and lube, it will look different anyway.

But at least they are expensive, hard to get, and collectible.

I poke fun lightly. It's true but I also own a complete KAC rifle and another separate lower. The problem is me as Taylor Swift would say.

I would raise a complaint if it was a sandcutter but it's only their standard milspec carrier...for me its not worth the time and effort for that and for knights to say that finish is normal and will not affect function, etc...
