AR-15 Bolt carrier assemblies

[BobTheTomato]

So I am in the process of building an AR-15 upper and need to get a bolt carrier assembly. Is there any I should stay away from or features I need to get?

Thanks

Are you interested in fancy logo's or just something to shoot with? If you don't care about logo's or pictures I recommend Anderson or Palmetto State Armory. Both are easily found around $50 online.

My best piece of advise would be stick to companies with a known reputation and who advertise as building within mil-spec.

I have built AR's with Anderson, PSA, RRA, Spikes, CMMG, DPMS stripped lowers and every single one of them was as good and reliable as the others.

I would also recommend PSA's BCG. They are running them on sale until tomorrow for $79.99 and the NiB coated ones for $99.99. Both are excellent.

All I care about is that it cycles properly......and you know doesn't blow the gun up

You don't need anything fancy.

Even better when they put it on sale for $70.

Would be happy with a no frills BCG from Aim.

Aim has several good bolt carrier groups and good reviews and not over priced.
