Questions & Answers
Is this mil spec? Do you need an adjustment gas block or any recommendation what weight of buffer to use? Thanks Manufacturer Answer

The geometry is mil-spec, but the weight is not. This BCG uses a grade 5 titanium carrier which is significantly lighter weight than steel. You do need an adjustable gas block to use as it is intended. Tune your adjustable gas block so your brass ejects at approximately 4:30 and you will achieve a reduction in felt recoil. Using a heavier buffer instead of using an adjustable gas block simply results in the weight being added back in.

Fantastic BCG if you have an adjustable gas block by Mark L, Verified Owner, November 22, 2023
This BCG is light weight. If you want to take full advantage of that you need to combine it with a gas system that can reduce the amount of gas introduced into the system. Otherwise, this will cycle too fast. As long as you know what you are getti...

Product Info for Walker Defense Research Research Titanium Bolt Carrier Group (BCG)

Made to exacting quality standards, the Walker Defense Research low-mass titanium bolt carrier group (BCG) is approximately 67% of the mass of a traditional steel full-auto profile BCG, while offering exceptional durability from the use of Grade 5 titanium coated in Ionbond DLC (Diamond Like Carbon). The bolt itself now features a nickel boron coating for heat dissipation, ease of cleaning, better lubricity, and enhanced reliability. This BCG is intended to be used in conjunction with an adjustable gas block to achieve recoil reduction by tuning the gas setting of your rifle appropriately. This is an excellent addition for a lightweight build or for use in competition (3 gun) shooting.image

Walker Defense Research employs small-batch quality control to maintain high standards. BCG components are hand-matched to prevent tolerance stacking and ensure reliable cycling. Each bolt undergoes Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) to ensure integrity and performance. Enhanced gas key staking with premium OCKS screws from Michiguns further ensures dependable operation under sustained use.

Designed & Engineered to

- Substantially reduce recoil when used with an appropriately tuned adjustable gas block

- Minimize Muzzle Climb

- Offer minimal weight (7.8 oz total) without any skeletonizing by using Grade 5 Titanium

- Provide long-term reliability and durability with ehancements such as the use of OCKS screws, hand-matched components and quality DLC coating
