*picks up any BCG*
"This is one of my favorites"
My ex-girlfriend kept almost as large a collection of very similar shaped objects in the top drawer of her nightstand.
Wow, that must have been a big nightstand
@@Ken-sd4uv I'll save you, Ron Jeremy!
@ItalianBrownsFAN I had too much gas blow back.
@Wes Vasquez...eat less beans 😆 🌬
Were they full auto or manual!!!
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. 👍
Astonishing video!! I've been always wanting to see all different brands of gun parts face to face comparing to each other, and this guy is the first one I saw showing such amount of brands and go through all of them. Subcribed
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
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!
Excited to see this series. Great idea can't wait to see which ones are on top. Thanks KB
Thanks for a bunch of good information. Some of my friends I shared this with ask me to a month ago about some of this. You just backed up what I was saying.
Great start to the series! Cant wait to get it rolling. Look forward to see who comes out on top in each type
I really like, enjoy & many times learn something in your comparison videos. The high/low end builds are the best buddy.
Good video, in all my years of shooting I've always stuck with a standard mil-spec BCG, nothing fancy and the best thing is my AR-15 goes bang every time.
love this stuff KB32, I'm learning a lot watching these
Thanks for the lesson. I have some basic BCGs and now I am wanting the fancy stuff.
What up brother!!! I stick with BCM and SOLGW bcgs
This is an excellent and informative video. Thank you for posting it!!
Lots of info, thanks KB. You learn something new every day
Finally, I was beginning to give up on you doing this video. Thanks very interesting.
I’m not sure how I’m just finding this channel but man am I glad I am!
Happy holidays sir
Cool series!! Looking foward to the rest of the series.!!👍
Come on let's see the bracket, nothing like a teaser video. Really interesting video I have been shooting AR's for years and the wide variety of BCG's never ceases to amaze me.
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
My SRC just arrived Thursday and I have a Faxon fluted Wylde barrel on the way. I’m really looking forward to getting some range time soon.
I went with a FailZero on my current upper build. I have an OG Spikes Tactical Nickel Boron BCG from early 2010 when NIB was newer on the market and they were the only ones who had NIB besides FailZero. There are tool marks still all over it but out of 9,000 rounds (getting close to 10k) I have only recorded 3 jams that we’re not due to a bad magazine or me. I polished it with mother’s mag aluminum polish to shine it back up.
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
How much was that
Been needing a video like this! Thank you very much! Can u do a top 3 or if you could only have 1 video? Something like that would b awesome for us who can’t buy more than maybe 2 or 3
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
Nobody cares
@@caseyschryber1255 your dads gay lol
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.
Sorry for the typo. I meant to say "Proper functioning is a balance of all three to ensure smooth functioning without a recoil bounce."
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 really enjoy your channel. Of all the channels i subscribe to yours is right up there at the top.
Great video, really informative!
Great video. Thanks for all your knowledge
8 years later, still waiting for the ranking video "series"
This sounds like a light glossing over of bcg’s and a heavy dose of advertising.
great review... after doing 2 months of extensive research and reviews to exactly which bcg i wanted for my ar10 build back in oct/nov2019, i can concur. the lantec enhanced bcg probably has all the best features and strength parts on the market as to date. as 2nd best is also the SRC BGC due to its strength but - all the additional features. where within my military service ive had 4 bcg's crack on me, 3 on ranges 1 in the field and that is never cool. so mil spec isnt always so great when it comes to extensive use, or extreme pressures. I must say tho, the ar10 308win lantec enhanced full auto bcg has widen gasports which helps recoil defusions, however it recomends an 18/20" rifle gas system, so if your going to build a 15/16" carbine 308win it will take some tweaking with an adjustable gasblock and a muzzle extender of sorts. where the uradyne apollo max is also the best tested recoil compenstor on the market reducing 94.72% recoils. so with it an the lantec enhanced bcg, and a good gas block allows hypersonic rounds converting your rifle into a rail gun technically speaking by muzzle velocity ratings. then 12' of kick is reduced to about 1.9" with the right buffer setup, where i also highly recommend the 3.2oz krytec shock buffer. as i dont really give a shit about noize reductions when shooting hypersonic, as you have to wear double hearing protection anway. lol. but that shock absorption is a defiant added bonus. but the complete billet 308win railgun build is a 5.4k usd build too. but a .5mil drop at 670m w 1.2" grp its well worth it while sustained rapid fire. and every shot makes you feel like thor! (edit, oh an purple locktight isnt enough for the build, need hot lock to 2k degree to keep gas systems and muzzle sealed in positions. as a coated oring preventing gastube vibrations against upper is also recommended. but if you spend more than a dollar per fps muzzel velocity you probably spent too much. but GL finding hypersonic rounds. should any attempt such a build, as it is not advised..!)
My attention has been caught!!! I want more!!!!
Good show! Thanks for sharing!
Semper Fi !! all your reviews are amazing I am "experimenting" with a Springfield Saint Edge 16" and I'm thinking to "gucci" the bejezuuz out of it with Lantac BCG, Trigger (mfg to be determined) LPO scope, charging handle while keeping the furniture and the rest OEM stock. Coming from the PCP airgun side of the fence dropping $2~3K on this "hobby" is'nt all that unreasonable, to those unfamiliar with the High end world of PCP air gunning it's a very expensive hobby especially with today's tech in electronics.
Damn, i was hoping for a recommendation already.
Thank you for the overwhelming amount of information in this video. I'll will need to watch this one a couple more times. I'm looking to do my first build but I live in a slave state so I'm limited... #staysafe
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.
Wow, THAT is an AWESOME video (huge thanks!!!). But, since the Lantac is way out of my budget, I would love to see a head to head between the BCM and the SRC. I’m building my very first AR-15 (300 Blackout / 9” barrel) and I want the best of those two.
But once, cry once
Great video as always brother stay safe and watch your six! God bless.
Looking forward to this series.
I have had plenty of range time with that SRC DLC bcg as well bcm and they are great bcg's but that SRC bcg is on its own level in my eyes great video Kota👍🏻👍🏻
Good Morning. what is the cause that the DPMS bullets lock (cage)
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.
great in-depth content
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.
I never thought I would have as many BCG's as I do. I am old school and I have three AR15 BCG's, two Colts and a Bushmaster, I have never had any issues with any of them. The new ones.. A BCM, Odin Works, Noveske(Rubber City), PSA in Nitride and Nickel Boron, Spikes, and BDU(White Industries). I really don't have a desire to spend a bunch of money on one. The Odin Works and Noveske in Nitride are super slick. The BCM and Spikes are phosphate, the BDU and PSA Nitride are slick, but nowhere near the Odin Works and Noveske. I just received the PSA nickel boron in their deal with 10 Pmags. That is going into my 300 upper build. I'd say the most I've spent on a BCG is $189 for the BCM, $180 for the Noveske during the peak of the covid/election parts scarcity. I don't think I have spent more than $120 for any of the rest, with the PSA and BDU being the cheapest being well under $100. The Odin Works was $99. I feel that if I have any issues with any of them, they would be taken care of by those reputable companies. Even the CMMG ones I have for their 22lr uppers and the CMMG 22lr retro fit kit for any AR 15.
Watching the School of the American Rifle has been very useful in watching him do autopsies on different BCG's and testing their pass/fail with his go and no go gauges.
I bought the Big daddy unlimited blue bcg for my 300aac build...i have a superlative arms adjustable gas block and I've put at least 200 rounds thru it amd theres a very very very small amount of color wear on the bcg blue coating...I loved it so much I ordered the bdu chameleon colored bcg for $81 camt beat those prices
Still waiting on that rankings video...
I was looking for one!!! Sounds like it never happened
Thank you for this! Seriously!
I have an LWRC and it’s BCG is great with an integrated gas key. POF is also nice with a rolling cam block.
Those are very nice, hard to come by
I like toolcraft nib bcgs, they look good and they're super smooth
That is quite an array. Very nice discussion.
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.
Question, I have a mil spec bcg from a parts kit. It will not discharge a live round from the chamber, charging handle will get stuck. (My aero precision and PSA bcg work just fine in the upper) Is it a fix for it on my bcg? Or should I just trash it and buy a new one
BCM FTW always my go to for anything rifle related and IMO the gold standard for Battle Ready Rifles and Parts
CerealFace DD has always been top tier quality as well however they haven’t improved and got with the times, BCM is still improving constantly and if you look at the majority of military trainers and top shooters, you are seeing less and less of them with DD and more and more of them with BCM. Like 10 years ago DD is what came to my mind when I thought of the best battle rifle period but it’s been BCM for quite a while now IMO.
I have 3 or 4 BCG's from Brownells they work great and are factory supplied by ATI and others
Great video homie!
I have a Smith Enterprise bolt carrier with a LMT enhanced bolt, great combination. And I took Chris’s at Small Arms Solution’s advice on that combo!
I bet it is great. I have the LMT enhanced bolt as well, in their enhanced carrier. The LMT MWS BCG is something else.
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.
Freedom Inc. stop being poor.
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.
What would you recommend for a burst/rapid fire use? I'm looking for something extremely durable.
I have 2 JP enterprize bolts one in 6.5 Creedmoor and one in 6.5 Grendel both work very well!
The one that costs $160 just for the bolt?
Hey brother what cleaning tool do you use to clean the area where the bolt lugs lock into the barrel ? Thanks .
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
Looking forward to BCG education!
Really solid video.
I think the brackets will be awesome can’t wait to see it. Do you have any experience with the Midwest Industry Armor guard PVD coated BCG? Just looking for some info for a friend
I have a question. I’ve looked at the JP Enterprises BCG for the .308. Now I have a DPMS M5 Aero Precision Upper and lower 20” barrel.
My issue is seeing I’m new to the .308 and customizing it out.
Get to the question….on their site there’s Large Frame and Small Frame BCGs. Which do I go with? I’m currently looking at the JPBC-4SP BCG
If I can get confirmation that this would work or directed to which one from JP Enterprises that would be amazing.
Thanks so much in advance.
I started buying parts to building my first AR15 300 blackout i went with a fostech upper lower and hand guard im going with a sharps bcg a CMMG mk4 blackout 16.1inch barrel would you have any advice on a lower parts kit and trigger ?
Ive ran that palmetto for maybe 500 rounds. Did great. Until I put a binary in mine. I figured out it was pretty easy to Fump Bire if I held the trigger on the break. It didn't take maybe 3-4 mags and the "staked" gas key came loose and went into single action. I put it back together best I could and locked the bolts every way I could come up with. It works for now. For $5 you can get that BCM extractor o-ring kit to pretty much make it last forever. I have a $240ish bolt in the mail right now so I have one Id trust more. I just wanted to get a better nickel-coated one really. Word around here is those Fail Zero axo coated are the best but they didn't have the black in stock that I wanted so I went with another brand
Wolff has a heavy duty or extra power extractor spring also.
Ill be Honest man i just want a gold one that is good for the look, but i dont want to install something thats going to ruin my ar, i like those light weight ones for competition what effect would intalling one of those have in my gun and also are the pro > the cons? What would you recommend?
Holy shit dude. One day I’ll make enough to just buy whatever gun parts whenever.
SP4 coating is something you should definitely try out sometime. Awesome stuff!
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)
@kotaboy32tactical does the bcm in fde have a dlc coating? Or what kind of coating is it?
Dude, make some notes..... you are all over and hard to follow
Any updates on that nice aluminum bolt you got a little while ago?
Like these longer videos, thanks
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. 👍👍👍
What I like was that you said this one is great and that one I use and like a lot. BUT you kept returning to the Sharps Rifle Company Bolt Carrier Group (4 times) and how good it is. "Guys its exceptional made from S7 tool steel " The SRC Bolt is all I have ever run. And they keep on running.
I'm just about finished my first build just need a bcg. I found some lightweight bcgs I like and I have an adjustable gas block, was wondering if they work fine and a few different brands? Also looking around $250ish or less Thanks alot
I run most BCG's from RCA. Freaking love em and the price is just right. They are the same company that makes the BCG's for Noveske. They also own their metal treatment process.
What do you think about the NP3 plus coating and the X Slick coating?
Chrome was the original finish the military used on BCGs. They later went to phosphate with the M16A1.
Cool video KB32...
Which bcg would be very good for an ar10?
Very good video👍🇺🇸.....Some sexy BCGs you got there. Stay Safe and Healthy......Steve from Illinois.👍🇺🇸
so do they actually provide any extra accuracy or are they simply more durable and nothing more for paying way more?
I would love to see a review on the SAI AR15 BCG from Salient Arms that has the integral gas key.
thank you wonderful video I love it
Love the JP BCGs, the BC-1 is absolutely insane
Hole Cow that's a lot of Bolt carrier groups, Kotaboy32 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Morning. what is the cause that the DPMS bullets lock (cage)
I know you've tested some of the rise triggers but what about their BCG's?
Do you think it’s a good or bad time to become a solo bolt carrier group manufacturer.
if you needed a bcg and all the rubber city ones are sold out. would you wait or just get a jp LMOS
I want a chrome one so it looks cool under the dust cover… who makes the best polished/nickle finished 5.56 BCG
dpms g2 recon 2. Good Morning. what is the cause that the DPMS bullets lock (cage)
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).
Is the fail zero nickel boron M16 mislpec profile better than what comes in the DD v7?
Have you ever used or heard of any 3 Gun Labs BCG's? I'm looking into one but haven't seen many reviews on them.
So what is the best bcg for ar15. Idc about price I just want the best
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.
