Fail Zero Carrier

[widnerkj]

Anyone else try one of these? I'm sort of dissapointed.

I have exactally 10 rounds through the rifle. I broke everything down to smear a little oil inside. (I live in New England, so now it's something to do often.) And I noticed the finish looks like it's flakeing off of the gas key. I tried to get some pictures, but it's sort of hard to see.

The finish of the carrier I'm kind of dissapointed with as well. It's slipery as advertised, but is covered with machineing marks. Any one have a similar expiriance with these?

I thought FZ BCGs were made so that you dont need lube?

Re: Fail Zero Carrier

Apparently they don't need to be polished either. Straight off the mill and into your gun. I'll pass...

Re: Fail Zero Carrier

I was changeing the gas rings, and oiling the barrel. I'm thinking I'm just gonna stick with Young MFG carriers in the future.

The name drove me off from it

. I like Young NM in my gun too, especially if you run a can.

I thought their "EXO" coating was gonna be NP3 under a diffrent name. I was wrong. Well, time to order new carrier, and send it to robar.

Re: Fail Zero Carrier

What kind of setup you using it for?

Re: Fail Zero Carrier

It's sitting in a Rainier arms upper. With a mega billet charging handle, a WOA 18" barrel, and a Vtac handguard.



And before anyone jumps on me about their lifetime warranty, who ever buys it, can send it in to get refinnished.

I thought I got a deal on the one I purchase today. I guess I will have to see how it wares out. My $.02

Re: Fail Zero Carrier

I haven't read any real stellar reports on them. This pretty much falls in line with what I have read up till now.

Re: Fail Zero Carrier

Mine seemed pretty good. But, I didn't test it too hard.

Re: Fail Zero Carrier

Maybe you got a Fail 1 instead of a zero?
