Best BCG under $150

Just pay $20 more and get the BCM BCG, this is the heart of your rifle, don't cheap out.

Nickel boron is a meme.

I keep hearing two arguments.
>Anything milspec is fine as long as it MPI, HPT is just a test and is not done sometimes because it can reduce the life of the bolt. Don't spend extra for Mall ninja
>The BCG is the heart of your rifle, spend as much as you can.

Would I be paying for the name if I went BCM? what is the difference between the BCM BCG and the PSA Premium BCG.

A phosphate BCG that's been MPI'd is perfectly fine, so the PSA one will do the job easily. NIB is a shitty meme.

Phosphate is fine. There are really only 2 companies making BCGs anyway, these are then bought up by various companies who throw their own finish and logo on them.

NiB, when done CORRECTLY, is fine as well. The biggest advantage of a NiB is how much easier they are to clean, ad carbon pretty much will just wipe off with a paper towel. When a NiB is done poorly, howver, you can get some flaking issues.

What I am trying to say is, it's really hard to screw up when picking you BCG.

So a PSA premium MPI/HPT no logo would be GTG?

>>31477260
Yes. I have had one for a few years and I have not had any issues.

Okay, I'll probably go for that. Thanks.

please don't get nickel boron regardless

The only thing you need to look for in a bolt carrier is good gas key staking. Other than staking and the finish it's physically impossible to fuck up machining a bcg

OP, everyone in this thread is a meme and a poorfag. Go get yourself a Cryptic Coatings BCG in Mystic Gold, then go tell everyone in /arg/ that your ar is the best/most expensive, even though it performs the same as everybody else's ar, and can probably be outshot by the newfag who just bought his first sub-$500 ar. After all, if insulting everyone who doesn't like the things that you like, makes you smugly lean back in your chair enough to make the cheetos crumbs fall off your fat, greasy, overweight stomach, then isn't it worth it that you're shoving your """"gucci""""" rifle down the throats of everyone here on a Norwegian brick-laying forum?

BCM > Spikes > PSA Premium. All are pretty close imo. Nickel Boron is meme and will eventually chip.

Get a cheap C158 steel bolt carrier with a phosphate coating. BUT, get a quality bolt. The bolt itself is what counts.

Bitter much?

>>31477075
Get the cheapest milspec one with staked gas key, chrome lining, MPT and HPT certification, shot peening, etc.. Most BCGs come from maybe 2 manufacturers, so it doesn't really matter which brand you choose. Also NiB isn't worth the extra $$$ if you don't care about the look.

> not getting a nitrided/melonite BCG
Why even live without it...

Bootlegs carrier is adjustable and not NiB, that's why

OP, there are so many BCGs with so many different coatings, just get what your heart desires. If it helps, I can tell you that my cryptic """gucci""" as fuck mystic black is really no better than my WMD, Colt, or BCM BCGs. Shit, it is the most expensive one I own and it has already had some of the PVC finish chip off on the bolt lugs with less than 800 rounds.

If you want quality and are on a budget Toolcraft at this place is the best deal I can find. http://www.wcarmory.com/toolcraft-bcg-223-5-56-bolt-carrier-group-sbn-c158-complete.htm

Really depends. Buy just a standard bcg for a basic rifle, it'll last a really long time. If your rifle has a theme going on or you have a goal in mind for the rifle like achieving low weight or great accuracy look into the different options. For instance if you want a low weight rifle look into those bcgs like the Jp lmos where you can drop a third of a pound

Any bcg coated PROPERLY with Cerakotes microslick coating. Huge fan of the coating works like a champ.
