Bolt carrier Tilt...whose is cured and whose isn't?

[kAnJii]

Wondering about this subject, which company has cured the tilt problem and which has not? Gas piston, sorry for not clearing it up.

Do you meant for a piston system or DI. So far the piston system is the one that had the phenomenon of carrier tilt.

Piston driven. Thanks for proofreading

I have seen and read that Adams Arms have redesigned their bolt carrier making it heavier and also has a "skid" plate. I don't think it eliminates it, just reduces and have better management. I'll be using the Adams Arms pretty soon and will let you know.

Thanks.

From what I hear, the new Addax ZK enhanced short stroke should nearly eliminate carrier tilt. You could ask Chris as he posts here.

They've had the new carrier for a while now. I have one in my upper and there isn't a mark on the leading edge of the buffer tube after a couple thousand rounds.
If you want to take even another step towards reducing/eliminating carrier tilt, take a look at the PWS enhanced buffer tube which has an extended leading edge for the bolt carrier to ride on.

Looks great but $$$ for a buffer tube.

Well, I don't think it's necessary with the Adams Arms system anyway, but it's a simple fix for anyone who has a system that does suffer from that problem.

POF makes one similiar to the PWS, but costs about $40.

So, DI was "dirty" but worked for years and years, and we've replaced it with a new and improved system that suffers from carrier tilt?

I am confuse.

This is the first I've heard of this. Then again I don't follow the hype about piston ARs.

You are confused.

I tested a CMMG piston upper with a rediesigned carrier. I saw no signs of carrier tilt in the test unit.

It was a hush hush thing for the beginning of pistons. Now they can't deny it so people know.

Some systems are worse then others but I am not sure anyone cured it as it is the nature of the beast.

The worst I saw the the Ruger. IT destroyed some peoples guns bad, actually took metal off the tower.
