Bolt Carrier Group

[MolonLabe7]

Currently in the process of my first AR build. The only thing I still need is a bolt carrier group. I am looking into the nickel boron BCGs. Is this the better route to go? Also, any ideas where I can currently find one for a decent price?

, any ideas where I can currently find one for a decent price?

Umm, As Spongebob would say, "Good luck with that"

Palmetto state armory has lower build kits with a BCG for $199. You could sell the lpk and stock kit for $100 and get a quality bcg for $99.

It's a 9130 bolt, not carpenter 158 but I've been hearing good things about bolts made from 9130

Edit: it has a 6 month money back garuntee

My bad, didnt even realize you were after nickel boron. They've been showing up much more often lately

This is what I bought from Bradis when I built mine. It is really nice!

My dad runs one of these. It fit right and the staking was deep.

I'm running this with a Spikes nickel boron trigger, and it's awesome

People are always amazed you smoothly the charging handle pulls back when they shoot my rifle.

If you put yourself on the notify list, I'd doubt it would take long to get one.

If your willing to wait then I agree go with a spikes or BCM, but for something right now the four guys will do just fine.

Some of the Bolts are made out of 9310, not 9130. JP has been using 9310 in their bolts for a while with good results. From what I gathered, 9310 is just as strong if not stronger then Carpenter 158. The key is if it is hardened correctly and MPI tested. 9310 right now is easier to procure, because with Carpenter 158 you have to order a huge amount so manufacturers are going with 9310 since it is available to be purchased in smaller quantities. I currently have one 9310 bolt right now and I am going to put it through its paces with the rest of my 158 bolts. If you can find a Spike's, BCM, DD, LMT for the right price then I would purchase one of them.

We have Rock River BCG's in stock and we offer Armoloy coating service. Armoloy is a different name brand of Nickle Boron. I personally swear by this method and the coatings are in all of my AR's and even 1 pistol!
