Undercover heavy hitter.
I ordered this carrier with a 12% off coupon and paid $84 out the door.
I had to wait about 2 weeks for it to arrive. Like other SA products, I noticed it was nicely packaged, came with instructions, and machined perfectly. Very few tooling marks on non-bearing surfaces.
The DLC looks the same as their piston carriers. The insert that came in the package states that both the carrier and gas key are chrome lined, then DLC coated.
The tail is flared and the top bearing surfaces on the front of the carrier extend all the way to the barrel extension.
I’ll be paring this with a JP bolt for comp...

WAY too many inconsistencies
Everyone else wants to rant and rave because the product looks cool - let’s be adults for a single minute and realize Superlative is a hype beast company riding on “piston” AR’s that were cool 15 years ago.
Stop it. I ordered 4 of these now, and 3 are out of spec. When I got the first two I emailed Superlative about it and they had 3 separate representatives email back with different requests. One was “well we have combat vets that work here” and another was literally just “well are you going to send it back or not.” Another said they would check specs but after 4 emails asking WHO’S specs they stopped responding. TDP specification on critical dimensions are now the same as “Superlative Specs.” They did subsequently change their marketing to include their “sealant” they claim is spec - Permatex #3 - which has never been spec. Don’t worry, I have the original technical manuals and the M16A1 and A2 TDP… the Permatex part numbers listed are for a gasket shellac, NOT aviation gasket that didn’t exist in the 1960’s.
All three of the out-of-spec carriers had poorly staked keys, and loose key screws (broke loose under 20 in/lbs). Two of the 3 forward bites were in-spec on all, one was not at all. All 4 failed the “carrier to magazine interaction” test the USMC and Army specifically outline is a failure and after sending Superlative their manuals they still denied it was real.
Don’t buy it. They jumped on the DLC train BCM and Geissele did and failed - their QC is trash, and one I...

Fantastic product
If you need a carrier… buy this. Picked one up and matched it to a Cryptic bolt and it is running perfectly in a 350 legend upper. Had some questions and went to Superlative Arms directly and they were awesome to work with and extremely helpful. Finish and machining is flawless. Be aware, it may be a tight fit in your upper at first but that is totally normal. Run it heavily oiled for the first 100 rounds. The DLC coating is super easy to clean up. Just wipe and relube.
