Hot Ammo? Tame It with the New Young MFG Variable Mass BCG
Luke Cuenco 12.13.23
These days the modern rancher is also probably a firearms enthusiast as well as a hunter. There are a lot of different types of hunting ammunition out there and to be frank, not all of it runs the same in every rifle. The Young Manufacturing Variable Mass Bolt Carrier Group is an innovative way to tackle problems related to cycling or tuning your rifle for optimal performance. This means you can tune your rifle to work with suppressors for a more quiet experience, or even tune your rifle to work with an entirely different cartridge without the need to change your standard buffer and spring out.

Hot Ammo? Tame It with the New Young MFG Variable Mass BCG
The Chrome BCG version of this will cost $349.95 and is a full $70 less expensive than the standard Back Nitrie finish version at $279.95. The black nitride version might be a more affordable option, but I would guess that the Chrome version might be a better choice for a hard-use varmint rifle or a hunting rifle for Chrome’s increased protection against the elements.

Semi-Auto/ Full Auto M16 Complete bolt carrier group made by Young Manufacturing Inc. using MILSPEC quality steel on our in-house CNC machines. All carriers are then heat-treated, hard-chromed and each carrier is chrome-lined in the bolt throat.
– No Forward Assist Serrations. This can work in an upper with forward assist, but the forward assist will do nothing. Perfect for your slick side upper build.
– Standard MIL-SPEC carrier with additional care taken during machining process
– Sharp edges and rough finishes eliminated. Will NOT shred fingers and operates smoothly
– Made of same steel and using same processes as our National Match but to standard MILSPEC design
– The HMB Bolt by HM Defense eliminates the pass through cam pin hole and replaces it with a cam pin socket and radiused cam pin design. The new patented design eliminates the natural weak point of Mil-Spec bolts by significantly increasing the amount of metal (and strength) at the cam pin location. The result- NO MORE BROKEN BOLTS! The HMB Bolt also reduces contact between cam pin and firing pin, enabling smoother operation of firing pin, bolt lugs and aft gas rings. The new cam pin socket also retains lubrication for extended operations.
– Also includes our recoil lug supported gas key
