Those bolt carrier grips are phenomenal. I do tend to prefer to have OCKS on my carrier keys. But you really probably don't even need them with a bolt made this well.
I ordered one of these from another company (I'll let you guess who) it said estimated to ship in three to five weeks. That became two months then three months then five to eight months. Right at the sixth month they said they no longer carried that product! I would still love to have one but I found a DD BCG for a good price and love it.
@@CaptainCreampie69 I’ve had great customer service from them. Yes, they take a little while to process returns but they do the return no questions asked. With discounts, their prices are great.
I use to get sold on bolt carriers with all kind of features like coatings and stronger steel but I’ve learned it’s all about getting a bolt carrier built with the right tolerances.
I also learned this the hardware. Wasted $200 on a bcg that doesn’t have the headspace for 223. For reference: it was not a SOLGW. I just picked up a SOLGW and I’m super happy
I thought this was all marketing til i saw Chad from SOTAR break down a bunch of different BCGs, including some nickle boron (what I have cause I wanted a contrasting color 😅) showing loads of loose gas keys even when staked amongst other issues. They are "just" microbest BCGs (also who makes BCM) with a spring upgrade you can do for $5 in 5 minutes. BUT I would buy my next BCG from them, knowing Im getting the best of the batch and paying a few bucks extra for another round of quality control and individual testing should microbest's QC slip. Not to mention they've staked their whole rep on these BCGs, OH and you can flex/earn points 😂😂😂
Everything wears out, a quality ar should last 10s of thousands of rounds with very little issues but the fact is no matter how well it's built wear still happens.
@@jaydunbar7538 the original AR-15 design works extremely well. Problems only occur when people try to change the platform. The original 1960's and early 70's Colt SP-1's we use as ranch rifles have worked flawlessly. They are well used and well maintained.

@@Photosbybb Cryptic offers phosphate BCGs if you simply must have milspec. Prices are in line with SOLGW. IMO the only thing gimmicky about Cryptic are their coating names.
I would like for you guys to speak about Anderson Manufacturers RF 85 (reduced friction) bcg. They claim it needs no oil and can be cleaned with just plain water. They claim it is not a coating, its all the way through, so no chance of wearing off. I can't seem to find much information about this. If true it would be the superior bolt material in the market right? They offer complete guns or complete uppers or complete lowers made of this.
The rf85 is a treatment done to the metal parts, it's not a superior bolt material (which is 9310, some claim it's better than c158 but it's up for debate like mentioned in this video and is nothing new).. The rf85 treatment is mostly gimmick imo.. Does it add some lubricity to parts ? Maybe, not a whole lot that I could see in my buddies rifle from them.
I only have a few small parts (lpk parts, springs, plungers, etc) but have never had a problem with anything. Nothing has ever felt like "cheap metal" or "skimpy coating." Everything fits and functions. They seem to do it right.
SOLGW are fantastic rifles they come with more stuff than other brands. 3 metal 30 round magazines. Rifle case, stickers, 2nd amendment article. Bracelet or cable holder, sling mount, SOLGW patch, and that’s more stuff I have received with SOLGW, than other guns I own. Also lifetime warranty
I know you need 158 carpenter steel (for the bolt) and properly stakes gas key, plus HPT &/MPI, but Phosphate coating is just as good or better than a DLC or Nickel Boron coating???
Not necessarily better per se. They are nice to have on BCG if you have the $. However, I recently heard that a phosphated BCG will serve all your needs without any issues as long as it is GREAT quality. I’m now leaning away from anything that is not manganese phosphate and taking that extra money for ammo.
I like that it holds onto lubricant, when I grab my rifle that's been sitting I know that the lube will be there ready to rock n roll.. I've used all the other coatings and seriously see no upside to them unless you like having a meticulously clean and shiny bcg 24/7.. once that lube burns off of the bcg and carbon sticks (which it will on all coatings and treatments too) then they all get sluggish, whereas phosphate will literally sweat lubricant and create a barrier between friction areas in a sense.
@@TwoWheelNinja I do believe DD makes everything in house. I think the only thing they don’t, is forge their own receivers. Them and LWRCI are the closest you get to American made 100 percent in house.
Carrier is made by Microbest but that doesn’t mean SOLGW doesn’t have a hand to play in how it’s made. Microbest carriers can range from cheap but still serviceable to expensive but very high quality. All depends on how the company that’s ordering them has them built. Ive never seen a SOLGW fail gauge testing. They are made to a very specific and consistent tolerance. Whereas I’ve seen tolerance issues with BCM before, although nothing that caused issues. However I’ve never seen any Microbest carrier fail in any catastrophic manner.
@@TwoWheelNinjawhat I realized about these companies is they come from the same place, so you’re paying for a name and warranty which is hopefully good.

There’s nothing wrong with tried-and-true but if everybody stays tried and true then nobody will make any better advancements for the platform.

Nope. If you want to know why and how some fail (if they do) check out SOTAR BCG autopsies. After that you know what to look for and can choose based on your usage.
No, but this guy just buys his from an established machine shop. He doesn't make these. Correct me if I'm wrong, i will apologize. You can put in an order, order enough and they will make them how you want, and brand them with your logo. Blasted and phosphated is about the cheapest.
