lewie212 37 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I recently had to replace my bolt carrier due to a crack. What I was wondering if there are any precautions or modifications that can be done to prevent it from happening again in the future.Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Nothing really. Most likely just a fluke flaw in the old bolt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Where did it crack? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AphexRed 2 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 If it was a hairline crack by where the gas piston retaining pin goes through the carrier I wouldn't worry about it. You could drill a small hole at the end of the crack or have someone weld it up but the rifle will still function fine without any remedy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
