Faxon Firearms aimed to create a bolt carrier group with the GUNNER name that was unbeatable in strength and functionality. They established specifications that would not allow any compromises. The criteria were as follows:
- Lightweight (complete at only 8.5 ounces)
- MIL-SPEC materials and finishes or better
- Forward assist serrations
- Compatible with dust covers
- Maintains full-auto trip sear for full-auto fire control groups as well as new multi-stage trigger functionality
- Looks impressive
To match the quality of their barrels, they opted for the QPQ method of Salt Bath Nitride for all carriers' components. This coating improves the carrier's natural slickness, which requires less gas and pressure for operation. The QPQ SBN process seals components against corrosion and makes them fantastically wear-resistant.
Improvements in the bolt carrier group include using 9310 tool steel for the bolt, which is stronger and nitriding the assembly to increase surface hardness. This reduces resistance and makes it superior to chrome and phosphated bolt carrier groups with regards to corrosion resistance. All bolts are fully MPI tested to ensure they are sound and without defects. The bolt lugs are chamfered 45 degrees, resulting in reliable action even in high-pressure hand loads and rapid lightweight actions.
Faxon's Bolt Carrier Groups are Superfinished to decrease friction, improve smoothness, and decrease fouling. They are full-auto rated and maintain the trip for full-auto fire control groups and new multi-stage trigger systems. Gas keys have grade 8 fasteners and are fully staked, allowing for a lifetime of service.
As a testament to their confidence, Faxon laser engraved the Faxon Shield onto all carriers after passing the rigorous quality inspections.
