I have not yet been able to try out my new xpb but am confident it will perform as avertised. I did weeks of research before choosing sharps.

My third SRC BCG and this FDE carrier looks darn nice in my Aero Precision Enhanced Upper in FDE. These guys work great! If I can keep buying one a year I’ll have these BCG’s for all my AR uppers in, uh, several years.

I completed my first ever build in May. Since the BCG is supposed to be the heart of the rifle I wanted to do my research to see which direction I should go. After seeing so many positive reviews on YouTube, I decided on the SRC in FDE. I’ve put about 1000 rounds through this rifle and I haven’t one malfunction or hiccup. I’m very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality that went into this bolt. I have some more builds planned and I’ll be using the SRC BCG’s on all of them.
