Just lost the gas key on my Rainier phosphate BCG, but honestly I gather that just happens from time to time. The rest of the BCG has been flawless.
I hear DD makes a good part if you want to pay a bit more for extra confidence. |

Our very own EE is where I go.
Just bought a brand new FN for $125 shipped. There were a couple of Colts slightly used for $135. The BCG is such important part of the system that I like to buy high quality. |

These ones in particular are supposed to be mil-contract overruns. I was more concerned about WC Armory, but you guys have had good experiences with them so I'll have to remember them in the future. |

BCM auto BCG is all I go with. Yes they cost more than some of the less expensive units, but part of what your paying for is verified quality with the MPI and HPI testing. It's one of those parts I wouldn't supplement with a cheaper unit if it's a rifle that you might use to protect yourself with. Wither it's hog's or a biped attacker.

BCG is one thing I do not skimp on in my builds. All of mine have C158 bolts and are HP/MPI. I do not care to get an 8620 bolt and I do not want to find out the hard way that a 9130 bolt was not properly heat treated.

It's foolish to pay $169.99 for a Bravo Company BCG.
Top tier, highest quality manufacturers can be had for less. My current choice is Toolcraft 1B1B6 for $90 from WCArmory.com because Toolcraft is a mil supplier and I like knowing who actually made my BCG... unlike BCM I've even seen Colt's for $150 recently. More than I want to pay, but I would pick a $150 Colt over BCM any day. |

I exclusively run DD, BCM and KAC BCGs. Though KAC BCGs are proprietary, so they are irrelevant in this discussion.
BCG and barrel are the two most important areas not to skimp on IMO. |

After reading up on Toolcraft i dont feel like im skimping at all when it comes to quality. I think im simply skipping the middle man and going straight to the source. Which equals money saved. And im ok with that
ETA: i may be wrong but it appears to me that some of the top tier name branded BCGs "COULD" just be toolcraft bolts with someone elses logo branded on them |

They may be the mfr of some of mine. I recommended the Stag/CMT, simply because they make some solid small parts, and the price is excellent. I have never heard of a staking issue with Stag/CMT as was mentioned in one of the posts. I do not own one. The bulk of mine are DD, and my 3 "spares" are Spikes that I picked up on sale. I too believe the BCG is one part that should not be skimped on, and piece of mind is worth a few more bones. I also have BCM, WMD, JP, and a Denny's Thunderbolt. If I could get more Tbolts, I would. I would not hesitate to get that Toolcraft with a 158 bolt. You should be set. |

That TOOLCRAFT BCG looks pretty damn good spec-wise. I have never heard of these guys before, so I'm leery about buying anything from them. I'm so used to only buying stuff from certain companies (Colt, Stag, Noveske, etc) that I tend to be skeptical about companies I've never hear about. But, once again, the specs are spot-on.
