BCM Bolt Carrier Group

[FlyingKiwi]

I am looking for a good BCG for my first build. I have been thinking BCM. Are the carriers MPI, HPT, and shot peened as well as the bolt? When looking for a bolt should I go with an m16/auto version or AR15 version? This is for a 20" barrel and have heard the m16 barrel is better for carbine AR's because of the higher pressures. Is there any reason not to go with the BCM BCG???

I don't have one, but BCM is generally regarded as good quality products.

AR bolt carriers are not proof-tested or MPI'd, because they're not stress-bearing parts. An AR bolt carrier needs to be the correct weight and dimensionally in-spec, and that's about it.

I have a couple of Bravo Company BCGs, and they've been of excellent quality. Strongly recommended.

Good stuff----buy it.

Excellent BCG. No reason not to get M16 carrier.

BCM has one of the best Bolt carrier groups our there. I have two. Yes they are all tested and blasted.

Get the M16 version, with no added coatings. No need for ION bond or Chrome. Dis one:

Just the bolt receives the destructive testing. With new production the weight difference between the semi and FA carrier is really insignificant, something like 14 grams. BCM is a quality part and there are many other quality BCG's on the market.

BCM is good stuff. Unless you're trying to slow down the cycle for some reason (or installing in a select-fire), I would go with the lighter carrier.

BCM BCGs are great. I also like the Palmetto State Armory Premium BCG. It has similar specs to the BCM.

I have two of them. Buy with confidence and get them whenever available. Earlier this year they would go on back order for weeks at a time.

I hope they are good, mine is on the way.......

Those are very good, but the Daniel Defense is equally good and often available for a bit less. DD BCGs were $130 in stock at AIM Surplus last I checked.

+1 on the DD BCG. They are just as good as BCM and often cost less. In fact, I run a DD BCG in my BCM upper.

BCM and DD are top notch. The Spikes BCG's are just as good and can be had for less($110) from AIM.

I've used a couple of the BCM auto BCGs. Never had any problem with them. I love how bravo always tosses free little extras in the box. I got a free hat with my last upper and barrel I ordered.

+1 on this. I have both BCM and Spikes BCG's. The spikes are just as good as the BCM for a few dollars less.

Since the question was about the BCM BCG, I'll say it's good stuff; but there are others out there that are just as good. In any case, you aren't going wrong with BCM.
