Can anyone ID this BCG?

Picked up this BCG from a small shop that was going under. Got the specs but no clue who made it. Can anyone ID this? It's the only BCG in my collection with the two rings on the end of the carrier.

Never seen one like that nor have I ever heard of Altered Arms. I went on their website and nothing there about any products for sale. Hard to say who actually produced the carrier. I have a feeling that the bolt and firing pin were sourced from elsewhere.

Looks similar to a radian. They have those orbital cuts on the rear of the carrier

Altered was the shop that went under. They were liquidating parts and I grabbed one of these for cheap thinking why not. I figured it was SAA oem but the weird double ring on the end of the carrier throws it off.

Not a Radian, but as you said, the orbital cuts are similar. Radian's Enhanced Carrier has a much different design. The rings could function like sand grooves. Who knows?

The radian is one of those enhanced, geometric shaped guys. This one has a pretty normal profile, just with those weird rings being different.

I just looked at mine and the radian is a little boxy. Don't think the logo would have worn off either.

Frankenpart !

Out of curiosity, what purpose would those rings have? Not enough for weight reduction

Slot for debris?

Slot for debris?

Yeah that was another thought but I would assume it'd be closer to the bolt face

You're probably right. Less surface area is less friction. Now I'm wondering why they are there. Lol

Oil groove maybe, or looks.

Durabolt, no logo.
