S stands for several things:
Secure Staking
Slick Side
And it is slippery due to its coating
I confirmed with Chris Bartocci that the carrier's recessed area (where the gas vent holes are) is only there to accommodate the ejection port cover. It wasn't meant to be a forward assist.
So happens it can be used in the manner, so we placed useful serrations there to facilitate its dual purpose.

We're making some changes to the serrations. The NiB EXO carrier is slick to the point of diminishing the current serrations' effectiveness. We're making the serrations deeper and wider, and fewer in number.
Pic of SBCG in testing. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the carrier came out after a few mags that would have made my Young Manufacturing chrome carrier smudgy and black. Note the SBCG here is a prototype, it has not been staked, and the bolt is an LMT enhanced bolt, not what SBCG will be shipped with.

Yep got an email about Jason's move to Grey Ghost.
The info on bolt was posted somewhere, here it is:
Carpenter 158 Steel
Shot Peened, Hard Turned / Ground NiB coated UCT EXO
Extractor 4340 Steel-Mil-Spec Spring & O-Ring combination
Magnetic Particle Inspected, and HPT tested
I thought about offering other bolts, but at the moment can't find a reason to

ETA March, but I'd add couple of weeks to that, they need to be shipped to Sionics to have OCKS installed and staked by Ned's industrial strength staking machine

You mean your not going to personally hand stake those one at a time? You could put a Hershey's kiss and a card in the box that says " Hand staked by yours truly"

Haha I would if I could do as good a job at it as Ned's staking machine that stakes 30 of them in a minute

Pre-production SBCGs are here. The initial small volume run was created to gauge interest in a BCG with our design input on utility and reliability, and we had greatly underestimated it.
Pre-production SBCGs use standard gas key screws, not OCKS, but other features have been incorporated into them. SBCG will be seeing continued development to include more bolt and coating options and features.
We're not making a huge deal of the pre-production SBCGs, because there's only a handful left of the initial batch, we sold 90% of them within the first 5 hours
