Many have experimented with the ultimate bolt carrier group. Surefire has come up with something different. Perhaps not revolutionary, but this carrier gives you more than just a pretty fiinsh.
Double Down on Reliability. Invented by Jim Sullivan, one of the original designers of the M16, the SureFire Optimized Bolt Carrier (OBC) doubles the reliability of any M4/M16/AR variant weapon system during suppressed and suppressed firing. Its patented design allows more time for reliable feeding of ammunition from the magazine and nearly eliminating bolt-over-base malfunctions. The OBC also delays unlocking of the bolt during the firing sequence, which allows expanding gases more time to exit the bore, in turn reducing back-pressure gases exiting the upper receiver group. Additionally, the neutrally balanced counterweight improves carrier and barrel extension lock-up, nearly eliminating bolt bounce. The OBC reduces felt recoil for better target tracking and greater weapon control when firing. Coated with an advanced anti-friction coating, the OBC resists friction during use and makes cleaning easy.

Long-stroke design delivers 60% more travel beyond the magazine, increasing magazine feed time and reducing the chance of bolt-over-base malfunctions
Self-lubricating, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and S-Line coatings reduce friction for consistent, dependable operation in the most adverse conditions
