@Bill Bob no they don't. If BCM cannot source parts from their suppliers then they will be out of stock. It's happened before, and they're not the only company to do it. That's what good companies do. Sorry that you bought a toolcraft and told all your buddies it's the same as a BCM.
With properly staked gas key bolts,it really serves no real purpose. You domt hear about broken bcg's. The bolt is the part that needs to be solid and by far the HM defense HMB battle bolt is by far the best on the market. 4 years since it was first designed and they havent had not even one come back broken yet. Not even in military testing.
@@FreedomInc ... That's your opinion. Having served 34 years as a United States Marine and having put tens of thousands of rounds through the M-16 / M-4 platforms , I've seen plenty of bolts fail. POF has a bolt with an excess of a million rounds of high pressure ammunition through it and it still chugs away like it's brand spanking new. Staked keys can still loosen , regardless of how well they were done. POF submitted their BCG to the military as well and it exceeded their endurance testing ten fold but was not adopted for one simple reason , price. Anyone knowing how military contracts work , should also know that while the part, weapon , ect. must meet certain criteria, price plays a very big part on purchasing as well. I'll stick with my POF any day of the week. Perfection doesn't come cheap.
I've got a Lantac in my BCM rifle and it works as you would expect. It has some features for running suppressed that are beneficial. Never had an issue and it cleans up easily. I don't think you need to run a $250 BCG but it certainly doesn't hurt. The BCG is the heart of the rifle. If you were going to have 2 key items it would be the barrel and the BCG.
Don't forget the buffer. Proper functioning is a balance of all three to avoid smooth functioning without a recoil bounce. There are vids in here for the proper weighted buffer and there are about a dozen different buffers for full automatic, M16, AR15 and M4s. If you change bolt groups and go to a heavier barrel (or a longer one-20") you will need to address the buffer.
Exactly what I am struggling with while doing a new upper. Going to go BCM upper, MCMR handguard, Ballistic Advantage Premium 223 Wylde 14.5 barrel, et al. I have had great experiences with NP3 but not many people make them. Is the Guissele worth it? I’d really like a BCG that’s easy to clean. I am disabled and would rather spend more time shooting than cleaning.
I'm building my first AR-10 and I had no idea there were so many different qualities of steel and finishes for a BCG. Thank you for all the knowledge I just soaked up like a sponge, from your wisdom. 👍
my favorite ar-15 bcg gotta be Geissele Automatics 5.56 Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group, yes it cost more however it runs smooth as silk, i have about 900 rounds on mine never cleaned it yet and it still runs great. 👍👍👍
i am a whore👍i have one brand for my carrier and another one for cam pin and another one for my bolt also put in good springs. this way ur getting the best of the industry ur not pigeon holed to just one maker 🤠👍
@@Drawde907 Yup, Toolcraft for me too. Also Anderson Mfg. Never had an issue with either. I did have issues with others, but Toolcraft and Anderson are my go to BCGs. They also cost less than the other "name brands", even though the "name brands" are most likely made by one of those actual manufacturers.
I'm sorry,but those lmt bolts are a gimmick and way over priced. There are bolts on the market that are more expensive than a mil spec bolt and that are worth it. That lmt bolt just isnr one of them. I'm seriously nor being a dick,I'm not. They are just way over prices for what they are.
I have three of Ron's complete chromed BCG's. His quality is excellent. He doesn't stake. Therefore I MOACKS. I have two that I've had for 10+ years. I've replaced the bolts and carrier keys. The carrier bodies still gauge well within spec. Not much wear on the chrome either.
@@FreedomInc Not according to the Armys PIP M4 program. The bolts are legit. The only reason that it wasn't adopted was price. Is a mil spec a bad choice? No. But the LMT is a better bolt. There is test data out there that proves that it is.
Colt and FN are bottom feeders?? I think both of those companies make excellent rifles/BCG's. Both of those companies have or had long standing MIL contracts.
Good timing, i just got a FN bcg from sharkarms in the mail 20 min ago. F stamped carrier, mpf stamped bolt. Good stuff. Going away from the fancy coatings now and just stick to the tried and true
I have that BCG from them too! I got it for my FN m16a4 upper. Look at the bolt, if the F is underlined it means it was manufactured by an FN subcontractor not actually FNMI. Pretty neat, at first I was like wtf, but I don't think FNMI actually makes bolts. The underlined F is only ever on the bolt, and it just means they approved of it and it went through the mandatory 45 round test for the military. Also I'm pretty sure those BCG's are from the M16A2 days, I bought a A2 stock kit from shark arms and the stock was an unissued M16A2 stock not the M16A4 (button on trapdoor has a bigger notch on M16A4). Also pretty neat
I buy the ones PSA sells for 99 or ide go with POF as they make the BEST PERIOD, but the micro best ones are top regular bolts and the PSA 79-99 dollar ones are great. POF makes the only firearm I would buy that needs NOTHING to be duty war ready.
I don't have experience with most of those. But, the experience I have with failfrequently, they need to be dead last. My first ever bcg, psa, has never let me down.
If you were going to buy a dozen, just to have put back, what brand would you go with. That eliminates the high end like LMT, KAC, Geissele, but I dont want cheap trash. I have Toolcraft, Geissele, and L&S bolts in most of my stuff but am looking to get a stockpile put back.
I realy dont like nitride barrels or partd as the quality can be bad Only a handful of comaomys make BCGs and Bolts same with most AR parts to be hoenst, with PSA you could get a nice milspec bolt from a good comoany or not, my first AR build was an 18" psa FN CHF upper but hard to take it apart as it was not toqued correctly but those FN barrels are very high qaulity and for a duty rifle CHF CL is the way to go, and with .223/5.56 in prefer 20" or 18" barrels as the round was made for 20" so you get quite alot of extra velocity vs a 16 or 14.5 The best BGC is a standard milspec phispate finish that has been chromed properly inside, best to buy the BGC and gas key seppeare so you can true it with a stone put the correct "bedding" conpound on then torqe it doen with the correct bolts and stake it. All other ginishes may look good on the outside but if they are not well machined on the inside and hard chromed properly they dont run well, the standsrd nilspec bilt is slso fine but a good idea to inspect thst and the BGC and usualy upgrade the extractor spring. Dont use a coated extractor as they sometimes dont catch. If you habe a standard barrel edtention thats clocked properly then rounded bolt lugs wont help. The best BGC and bolt you could get would be fully chromed but i dont know any company thay makes good ones. Since the patents for stuff like the KAC E3 barrel extention and bolt (rounded with 2 ejectors) ran out some time ago i think a comoany will make afforable versions. I just go with a FN barrel and prefrably a fitted bolt with a new gas key if its not fitted then check the headspace and fire 2 overpressure proof loads if all it good and after a few hundred rounds with ninoriblems it will be fine. Im lucky that my uncle is a gubskith as i started on AK kit buids, AR builds are easy but everyone should use a barrel estention gauge when building at the last and torque everything down properly. If you get a new rifle snd see peening in the barrel extention and or bolt it may not be clocked properly and a barrel extention guage will tell you if its ok or not. Out of all the vids on YT i feel "scool of the american rifle" is the best for AR15s and AR10s, some of the tools are exoensive but some are pretty cheap and definatly worth it.
I currently run an Iron City Rifle Works BCG for my SHTF/Home defense gun. I've been very pleased, it's pricy but has functioned flawlessly in my .300blk 8" pistol. Super low friction coefficient, literally wipes clean and is super smooth even after a long range day

It is pretty interesting that you can take 2 BCG, same specs, same everything, one can run like crap and the other one is perfectly fine. Ive been lucky but have ran into a few that I was like WTF is going on.
I have a question if you could help me out please So I just built a AR15 I used a BCM lower and a Sons of Liberty upper with a 16 inch barrel in 300 BLK I bought the Gisley H2 spring and buffer kit and an AREO Persission BCG When I run Suppers through it it runs just fine but when I run SUB's through it, it wont pickup the next round from the mag I assume if I ran a CAN with the SUB's it would work fine? My question is I have another 300 BLK that I purchased complete (STAG ARMS) and it functions just fine wether I'm using SUB"s or SUPER's So What am I missing with my new build or How do I tune it to be able to run bopth SUB's and SUPER's without a CAN ? Best regards, POP's (SUBBED)
MP testing is done while the bolt is inside of a coil of copper wire fed with DC current. The metal inside the coil becomes magnetized. A magnetic UV dye is introduced to the bolt and it will seep into any cracks. The bolt is then rinsed off & examined under a black light. Honeywell has big long tunnels where parts go by on a conveyor belt and are examined under black light by multiple inspectors. They make engines for Chinook helicopters. Busting engine parts on a helicopter sucks ass. It sucks even worse in combat.
Do you have a list of all these companies? The transcript frequently cannot always understand what you are saying, so it guesses. It would be nice to have a list with these parts linked (unless I missed it).
Okay, usually get something from your videos, but not this one.... Very long vid, but you never mention the purpose of the coatings, why the coatings, do bolts actually fail? Is this all just like 'high speed muffler bearings' or what is the point here? Maybe show us some bolts that 'fail' because no special coatings, or the purpose of why some are lighter than others... This vid was pointless.
I want a NIB but recently came across a video where this dude was bashing them, I like the color of them and the ability to see carbon build up so I know when it needs a cleaning.
I hate to be critical of anyone's videos. However, this one was a little over 23 minutes long and gave very little useful information. Also as a suggestion... Make some notes. You were kinda all over the place and it made this really hard to follow.
I clicked on this video to see a little comparison and see which BCG was thought to be the best. Didn’t know I was getting into a marathon, mini-series. Geez. Way too long with just a ton of pontificating and opinion stating. No thanks.
I find it very funny to see so many different bolt carriers, coatings, shape, material, sizes, etc. In the AK world the only thing you need to know if they are combloc made or not.
The bcg I bought for my first ever AR build (and first ever AR owned) is the Sharps XPB. I certainly hope I made a good choice. We'll see how the comparison goes.
The one in my PSA has been chooching for two years now... probably for a guessimated 3,000+ rounds with no issues and the gas rings still hold it up when the bolt is stood on end. I don't know how much better a fancy-pants bcg is but my ignorance hasn't been problematic thus far.
Kotaboy32 Tactical The Surefire OBC isn’t adjustable or specifically intended for suppressed use. It is an enhanced bcg made by Jim Sullivan with an elongated cam pin path similar to the LMT to delay unlocking, dlc coating, an integral sprung weight at the back of the carrier that delays it at the back of stroke to reduce fire rate and bolt-over-base malfunctions along with prevent carrier bounce upon chambering, as well as a shorter buffer and carrier key to increase the carrier stroke length which also mitigates bolt-over-base malfunctions by creating more forward inertia and allowing the magazine more time to present the next round for feeding. The buffer says “suppressed” but it is not an adjustable system or specifically intended for suppressed use, though it may improve the operation of a suppressed system. From my understanding the “suppressed” marking is more of a codification of weight and showing it’s for use only with the OBC than anything, as it will cause damage if used with regular bcg’s. There is no unsuppressed buffer for the OBC and Surefire states its intended to improve reliability on both suppressed and unsuppressed weapons. I just mentioned it because it was made by Jim Sullivan as his take on the best reliability and functionality enhancement to the ar platform and would have been curious to see where it, and/or possibly the LMT since it too has the enhanced cam pin path, would have ended up on the chart in comparison with others like the Sharps. I just look at it like the guy who essentially made the ar15 a reality out of the ar10 created it specifically to improve the operation of the gun he made to perform with the new ammo, shorter barrels, etc. of today so it has to have at least some level of benefit. I have the Sharps, Geissele REBCG, and the Surefire OBC and they are all incredible in their own right. Love your videos sir, and appreciate the reply! Additionally, Small Arm Solutions has quite an in-depth video on the Surefire OBC, and just seeing the substantial fire rate reduction on full auto is worth watching it for. Take care and God Bless!
Most who say this realize later the cost involved in just tools to build their own, which a lot of those tools are needed to do legit upgrades. You’d be better off with a new trigger or barrel, vs replacing the bcg
I have 2 Rubber City Armory (RCA) and 2 Sons Of Liberty Gun Works bcg’s. I’ve had the RCA slow down to the point of not running right after lots of suppressed shooting. Never had any problems with the SOLGW bcg’s.
Best bcg in the world is the lmt enhanced bcg or their regular fa bcg. Lmt is unmatched and socom reached out to them to create the enhanced bcg for that very reason.
Plain & simple All carriers do the same job 1 A lighter one saves weight "quicker cycle" 2 a cut out is designed to avoid tilt " cycles planes straight" 3 Nickel boron coated " easier to clean" cycles easier. Winner "Toolcraft" Nib coated doesn't require much lubricant to stay in the battle longer is Mil- spec ..... If it's shot Pen it's been tested to withstand high pressure. All metals begin to degrade after 60,000 to 100,000.00 rds. Simplicity. .......... Cost doesn't determine quality.
They use toolcraft and do their own high pressure testing for each bolt individually. They have specs listed on all the coatings on their website and they're slick as 🦉💩
E Underwood Yea they are! I actually have their lightweight BCG in mystic black, but nothing to compare it against. I’ve heard the Lantac and FailZero are similar? Guess we’ll find out!
Hey so basically a enhanced bcg is full auto rated as well? I have a alamo 15 trigger and I want to make sure my bcg can hold up to it with absolutely no questions asked and I'm going to build a .308 rifle and try to see if the alamo 15 will work in it...I'm looking at maybe jp bcg

Dude, make some notes..... you are all over and hard to follow
I bet you out of all of those BCG'S, they are manufactured by about 4-5 different companies...
Probably. Nothing wrong with that. Just built to different specs and QC.
From what I read BCM buys from toolcraft.
So you arent wrong.
@@HTMLRu1ezD00d nope. They're manufacturerd by MicroBest, then sent to BCM to finish the fabrication, coating, and QC
@Bill Bob no they don't. If BCM cannot source parts from their suppliers then they will be out of stock. It's happened before, and they're not the only company to do it.
That's what good companies do. Sorry that you bought a toolcraft and told all your buddies it's the same as a BCM.
toolcraft makes their carriers and microbest makes the bolt.
A MIL-SPEC BCG is phosphate coated and the carrier bore is chrome lined.
Don't forget the gas key
@Blake Materials, coatings, treatment and inspection methods (hpt, mpi, shot peened) are also listed per mil spec
There’s a new channel called school of the American rifle, in his videos he checks specs, learn how these things work, not what they look like.
And what a great channel it is. A lot honest expert information from him.@OSOFLHP

Best regards, POP's (SUBBED)

MP testing is done while the bolt is inside of a coil of copper wire fed with DC current. The metal inside the coil becomes magnetized. A magnetic UV dye is introduced to the bolt and it will seep into any cracks. The bolt is then rinsed off & examined under a black light. Honeywell has big long tunnels where parts go by on a conveyor belt and are examined under black light by multiple inspectors. They make engines for Chinook helicopters. Busting engine parts on a helicopter sucks ass. It sucks even worse in combat.
Aside from the lightweight racing bcg's I know which one you like the best.
Do you have a list of all these companies? The transcript frequently cannot always understand what you are saying, so it guesses. It would be nice to have a list with these parts linked (unless I missed it).
It’s like watching a kid with his Christmas Erector Set! The rest of the world vanishes like a mist until…
Okay, usually get something from your videos, but not this one.... Very long vid, but you never mention the purpose of the coatings, why the coatings, do bolts actually fail? Is this all just like 'high speed muffler bearings' or what is the point here? Maybe show us some bolts that 'fail' because no special coatings, or the purpose of why some are lighter than others... This vid was pointless.
Do you have a Geissele full auto bolt in the mix? I wish you would have one, as I just purchased one that was on sale at Primary Arms.
I gotta watch this on my big tv later the phone isn’t cutting it! But what exciting video! I can’t wait to watch.
Thanks Kota
I want a NIB but recently came across a video where this dude was bashing them, I like the color of them and the ability to see carbon build up so I know when it needs a cleaning.
I hate to be critical of anyone's videos. However, this one was a little over 23 minutes long and gave very little useful information. Also as a suggestion... Make some notes. You were kinda all over the place and it made this really hard to follow.
I clicked on this video to see a little comparison and see which BCG was thought to be the best. Didn’t know I was getting into a marathon, mini-series. Geez. Way too long with just a ton of pontificating and opinion stating. No thanks.
I would love to see a review on the SAI AR15 BCG from Salient Arms that has the integral gas key.
I find it very funny to see so many different bolt carriers, coatings, shape, material, sizes, etc. In the AK world the only thing you need to know if they are combloc made or not.
I prefer chicom
Which bcg would be very good for an ar10?
You basic milspec phosphate BCG will kill alot of enemies.
Stay away from this video if your add. Holy fuck….
shot peening induces surface compressive stresses for improved resistance to crack propagation.
ToolCraft actually makes most of them. The other companies just laser etch their name on them.
That's what I've heard a lot. That's why I bought a nib tool craft lol
So what is the best bcg for ar15. Idc about price I just want the best
Do u know much on BCG from rise armament company out of Oklahoma?
Walker Deborah Clark Susan Lee Kenneth
The bcg I bought for my first ever AR build (and first ever AR owned) is the Sharps XPB. I certainly hope I made a good choice. We'll see how the comparison goes.
How's it been treating you
Oh god..at first I thought it said BBC's....I was like what kind of review is THIS? lol
😂😂😂😂 laughed out loud.. good one
8:49 "Black, but slicker finish..."
WHERES THE TEST. YOU BANGED THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR A FULL HALF AN HOUR AND NEVER FOLLOWED UP WITH THE BRACKET TEST?
The one in my PSA has been chooching for two years now... probably for a guessimated 3,000+ rounds with no issues and the gas rings still hold it up when the bolt is stood on end. I don't know how much better a fancy-pants bcg is but my ignorance hasn't been problematic thus far.
I own 3 BCGs from psa after thousands of rounds i have had no problems at all
Shot peening relieves stress in the parts it has nothing to do mag particle testing
In this case I would say it induces stress to help reduce crack propagation. It is used for different results in different situations.
Pof with roller cam pin should be one of the best
My attention has been caught!!! I want more!!!!
Can never have too many...
If you only could purchase one bcg what one would it be. 16inch gun.
We'll find out soon
Cant believe the Surefire OBC didnt make the list
I don't shoot a suppressor so I don't have a need for an adjustable. Great BCG's but not in this seires
Kotaboy32 Tactical The Surefire OBC isn’t adjustable or specifically intended for suppressed use. It is an enhanced bcg made by Jim Sullivan with an elongated cam pin path similar to the LMT to delay unlocking, dlc coating, an integral sprung weight at the back of the carrier that delays it at the back of stroke to reduce fire rate and bolt-over-base malfunctions along with prevent carrier bounce upon chambering, as well as a shorter buffer and carrier key to increase the carrier stroke length which also mitigates bolt-over-base malfunctions by creating more forward inertia and allowing the magazine more time to present the next round for feeding. The buffer says “suppressed” but it is not an adjustable system or specifically intended for suppressed use, though it may improve the operation of a suppressed system. From my understanding the “suppressed” marking is more of a codification of weight and showing it’s for use only with the OBC than anything, as it will cause damage if used with regular bcg’s. There is no unsuppressed buffer for the OBC and Surefire states its intended to improve reliability on both suppressed and unsuppressed weapons. I just mentioned it because it was made by Jim Sullivan as his take on the best reliability and functionality enhancement to the ar platform and would have been curious to see where it, and/or possibly the LMT since it too has the enhanced cam pin path, would have ended up on the chart in comparison with others like the Sharps. I just look at it like the guy who essentially made the ar15 a reality out of the ar10 created it specifically to improve the operation of the gun he made to perform with the new ammo, shorter barrels, etc. of today so it has to have at least some level of benefit. I have the Sharps, Geissele REBCG, and the Surefire OBC and they are all incredible in their own right. Love your videos sir, and appreciate the reply!
Additionally, Small Arm Solutions has quite an in-depth video on the Surefire OBC, and just seeing the substantial fire rate reduction on full auto is worth watching it for. Take care and God Bless!
Cryptic are at the pinnacle on the expensive side.
i was tryna listen to blueface song and accidently clicked on this ig lets see what this about
American Built Arms Company - BCG, see sootch00
I like the sharps
loved the video man, great info for a newbie like myself. i have a M&P15 sport2 that im going to start upgrading and eventually build my own
Most who say this realize later the cost involved in just tools to build their own, which a lot of those tools are needed to do legit upgrades.
You’d be better off with a new trigger or barrel, vs replacing the bcg
I have 2 Rubber City Armory (RCA) and 2 Sons Of Liberty Gun Works bcg’s. I’ve had the RCA slow down to the point of not running right after lots of suppressed shooting. Never had any problems with the SOLGW bcg’s.
Best bcg in the world is the lmt enhanced bcg or their regular fa bcg. Lmt is unmatched and socom reached out to them to create the enhanced bcg for that very reason.
Plain & simple
All carriers do the same job
1 A lighter one saves weight "quicker cycle"
2 a cut out is designed to avoid tilt " cycles planes straight"
3 Nickel boron coated " easier to clean" cycles easier.
Winner "Toolcraft" Nib coated doesn't require much lubricant to stay in the battle longer is Mil- spec ..... If it's shot Pen it's been tested to withstand high pressure.
All metals begin to degrade after 60,000 to 100,000.00 rds.
Simplicity. ..........
Cost doesn't determine quality.
Would love to get your thoughts on Cryptic Coatings if you’re looking to add to your list.
They use toolcraft and do their own high pressure testing for each bolt individually. They have specs listed on all the coatings on their website and they're slick as 🦉💩
E Underwood Yea they are! I actually have their lightweight BCG in mystic black, but nothing to compare it against. I’ve heard the Lantac and FailZero are similar? Guess we’ll find out!
Just put a mystic black in my 11.5! Love it!
Hey so basically a enhanced bcg is full auto rated as well? I have a alamo 15 trigger and I want to make sure my bcg can hold up to it with absolutely no questions asked and I'm going to build a .308 rifle and try to see if the alamo 15 will work in it...I'm looking at maybe jp bcg
Actually Lantac
Good God I've been waiting weeks since ya first announced this idea/video plan... And it couldn't have been better timing wise, and what a Fantastic series! Love it, love the idea and hopefully this becomes a nice new Kickass video series here on the KB32 channel. Thanks brother, stay safe out there 🤘🏻
More to come!
why did you go into detail in all of them except for the BCA?
What about aeris low friction Bolt Carrier for the AR15
Nothing beats hard chrome
