One of the main things I look at with a carrier is the inside of the bolt bore.
Sometimes, carriers will have rough tooling marks inside, hard chromed over. This condition will shred your gas rings in short order.
It can happen with any manufacturer, so you need to inspect your carriers yourself.
All the nitrided carriers I have are really smooth, including the ones from LaRue, PF, and Bootleg.
For a 12", I am so far liking the Bootleg adjustable gas carrier. If it continues to work as advertised, I think it will be my go-to carrier.
