Crap BCG‘s have been the bane of my existence for several months now. Spend a few extra bucks and get a truly milspec BCG.
Microbest (also labeled as SOLGW, BCM, DD, and more)
AO Precision
Sionics (FCD)
Stay away from nitride and NiB.
Look for manganese phosphate, hard chrome, or NP3. The last two won’t make the gun run any better than the first one, but they are arguably easier to clean.
Manganese phosphate versions are available for around $160. I’ve seen Microbest BCG’s on sale fairly recently for as little as $100.
There are 8 stages in the cycle of operations for the AR. The BCG is the only part that is involved in all 8 stages.
Can’t count how many AR’s I’ve “fixed” by replacing their crap BCG with a milspec version.
