Frequently Asked Questions

What problem does the Gemtech Suppressed Bolt Carrier solve?

The Gemtech Suppressed Bolt Carrier addresses the issue of excessive gas blowback experienced when shooting AR-15 platforms with suppressors. This blowback can cause discomfort, eye irritation, and a generally unpleasant shooting experience.

How does the Gemtech Suppressed Bolt Carrier reduce blowback?

It features an adjustable flange that, when set to 'suppressed' mode, vents excess gas out the side of the bolt carrier. This reduces the amount of gas pushing on the bolt, slowing its speed and minimizing gas expelled into the shooter's face.

Where is the adjustment for the Gemtech Suppressed Bolt Carrier located?

The adjustment flange is located on the left side of the bolt carrier. To make adjustments between suppressed and unsuppressed settings, you need to remove the bolt carrier from the rifle, which helps prevent accidental changes during use.
