the bolt carrier has a one piece gas ring. is there any benefit to that?

not really.....those that worry about the gaps aligning think there is.

this bolt is alot looser then my other one is, that has the 3 rings. the once with the three rings will stand up bolt down, but with the once piece when i stand it up the bolt slides into the carrier. i dont know if that is bad that it is loose or even if whether or not the bolt is supposed to slide in under the weight of the BCG.
well i guess if i have any problems thats the first spot im looking at.

There is less friction on the McFarland 1 piece ring. That is why it won't hold the weight of the carrier like the normal rings do when they aren't worn.
