AR bolt carrier question

[dtucker]

I am collecting parts for a build for a AR varmint rifle. I have had several through the years and decided it was time for 1 and wanted to have this 1 built. My question is, their is a bolt carrier group that is nickel boron coated ( I believe this is what it is called ) that i can get for this build on another forum. I am getting a Sun Devil upper and lower for this build that is going to have the side chargeing handle. Can i use this or is their a special bolt carrier group that is used when building these. I would like to send my parts to D-Tech as i have heard nothing but good things about them.

I don't why you shouldn't be able to use it.

My Young Machine side charging chrome bolt carrier looks just like a non side charging except a threaded hole in the front part of the carrier accepts the handle. I use mine in a Sun Devil upper.

My feeling would be to buy a carrier that is pre drilled for the handle as a normal carrier is probably hardened to the point That you would need carbide to drill the hole and one heck of a tap to put the threads in.

Thats what i was kinda thinkin that they made 1 with a pre drilled hole or came with the handle. I am going to pass on it and go with what is needed. Thanks for all your help.
