Mfr. No.: SCP, NP3

686162347858 SCP (SOTAR Cam Pin) is a collaboration between Chad Albrecht of School of American Rifle) and Forward Controls Design. SCP features a machined dimple on one side of the carrier cam pin, so the user can always reinstall the cam pin on the carrier in the same orientation. Cam pin usually wears more heavily on one side, putting the cam pin in one direction, then another randomly creates uneven wear on the cam pin, and it becomes sloppy and loose in the bolt. When the cam pin is installed always facing the same direction, it leaves one side less worn and more intact, this has the effect of better maintaining a tight fit of the cam pin in the bolt, and reduces wear cam pin itself as well as on the cam pin bore on the bolt. The idea of SCP, or consistently reinstalling the cam pin in the same orientation, isn't so much about saving the cam pin as it is reducing the resulting wear and stress introduced to the bolt. Chad Albrecht is a well respected armorer and instructor, Forward Controls Design (FCD) saw what he has done on a few cam pins, and it piqued interest. SCP is one of these "why didn't I think of it" moments for FCD, eminently simple and elegant, it's very much in line with FCD's own design philosophy. Chad Albrecht of SOTAR explains the benefits of reinstalling the cam pin in the same orientation in this video: https://youtu.be/VuZ4TgoR1Zk There is a thread on M4Carbine.net on this very issue as well: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?134117-Cam-pin-wear-as-a-contributor-to-bolt-failure SCP is based on the TDP spec cam pin, dimpled on one side, and NP3 or nitride coated. Indeed, the NP3 SCP is incorporated into the SBCG, starting from December, 2019 production units. FCD encourage you to visit the School of American Rifle page for more info on Chad Albrecht and SOTAR : https://www.schooloftheamericanrifle.com/ AR Build Junkie recently did an interview with Chad Albrecht re: SCP, the article can be found here: https://www.arbuildjunkie.com/school-of-the-american-rifle-sotar-new-products-partnerships/ Machined in 4340 and heat treated per TDP specs. NP3 coated. Made in USA. SCP is incompatible with KAC SR15 BCG.

Description:

Introducing the innovative SOTAR Cam Pin by Forward Controls Design!

The SCP (SOTAR Cam Pin) is a remarkable collaboration between Chad Albrecht of the School of American Rifle and Forward Controls Design. This cam pin is designed to enhance the reliability and longevity of your firearm's bolt mechanism.

Key Features:

  • Machined Dimple: Features a machined dimple on one side of the carrier cam pin, ensuring consistent reinstallation in the same orientation.
  • Reduced Wear: By maintaining the cam pin in a fixed direction, it minimizes uneven wear, resulting in a tighter fit within the bolt.
  • Durable Coating: Available in NP3 or nitride coating, enhancing corrosion resistance and durability.
  • Compatibility: Designed based on TDP spec cam pin, but is incompatible with KAC SR15 BCG.

The idea behind the SCP is not merely to preserve the cam pin, but to significantly reduce the wear and stress placed on the bolt. This innovative design philosophy aligns perfectly with Forward Controls Design's commitment to quality and functionality.

Chad Albrecht's expertise as a respected armorer and instructor shines through in this product. For a deeper understanding of the benefits of the SCP, check out this informative video: Watch Here.

For further discussions on this topic, visit the thread on M4Carbine.net: M4Carbine Discussion.

Manufactured in 4340 steel and heat treated per TDP specifications, the SCP is proudly made in the USA and represents the pinnacle of firearm accessory design.
