AR Stoner upper $229.99 complete with BCG

I am ordering one.

For $230, no chrome lining, and a 9310 BCG are almost a given. That said, I would be pretty confident to say that 90%+ of ODT shooters would NEVER see the benefits of a chrome lined barrel either.

I'm not saying it's garbage, just something to keep in mind. If it was nitrided and midlength...I'd have several on the way. But then it wouldn't be $230 lol.

Assume you meant an 8620 BCG, which is often found on entry level ARs. 9310 is an upgrade over 8620.

For $242 shipped, it's better than PTAC. Totally don't need one, but can't beat that price.

Looks like the price went back up.

Not exactly, am am 99% sure 8620 is mil-spec for just the carrier, but the bolt MUST be Carpenter 158 to meet the TDP requirements. Bolt materials as follows: Aermet 100 → Carpenter 158 (mil-spec) → 9310 → 8620.

If the specs don't claim milspec for the bolt, it's a far bet that it's 8620.

Yes, but just as well could be 9310. Either way, its most likely not A100 of C158. Again though, the person that buys that upper is most likely not going to shoot it enough to see the benefits of C158, A100 or a chrome lined bore.

Not arguing against the purchase. Just pointing out that 9310 is a step up from 8620, and 8620 is the most likely material on entry-level bolts.

The bolt appears to be 9310 guys

Good! Makes this an even better deal.
