thanks, StrangerDanger -- I'm really hoping I didn't miss the boat on Kip's quality. I've heard nothing but positive things about his work.

I usually use a stainless TTI one. I don’t care for knurling on the knob since it can cut up my hand when I’m going fast. Some have issues with the TTI knob over inserting. I’ve never experienced this on several M4’s and dozen of clients’ shotguns.
I had a carriercomp knob, and it was a masterpiece of engineering. It was knurled though and would chew up my fingers when running it hard. They’re practically vaporware these days. When found they go for an insane premium price of like 450 dollars. Lighter than the stock handle by a few grams too.
The titanium FFT bolt handle gets chewed up over time by the detent in the bolt carrier. Steel wins over titanium in durability. So the notches the detent fits into get chewed up and eventually the bolt handle will just fall out.
Is CarrierComp still open for business? I ordered a tube 2 weeks ago but never received any info on the follower/spring. I also sent a few emails and contact requests through the websites but haven't heard anything back. It also looks like the address is "permanently closed" on Google: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Kip+Carrier+10031+Candlestick+Lane+Pensacola,+Florida+32514

The last one I saw was new-in-bag and sold for ~$300. To be clear, they were ~$35 new when they were in production. This is far and above the going rate but, if enough people pay the price, then it will be the new going rate. They are extremely rare, especially new, but I don't think there are that many enthusiasts to support such a high price.
