The email flyer shows a nib BCG for $80 but I can't find it on the website ....
Is it a typo ??

You can just click on the picture in the email, it'll open right to them. But they're sold out already anyway.

Yeah they went quick, couldn't order from my phone and by the time I got home they were OOS

Posted: 9/25/2014 9:52:54 PM EDT

[#3]

Yeah hope they have more.

Posted: 9/26/2014 12:43:30 AM EDT

Got one!! Ordered as soon as email hit my inbox. They sold out fast.

I got one too......but according to Ares , they are substandard, and Ares did NOT approve of the sale to AIM. I sent AIM an Email requesting canceling my order based on this, have not heard back. My guess is that whoever manufactures these for Ares, had them rejected, and sold the to Aim instead. The picture showed ARES logos. Just conjecture on my part until I get more info.

You could have mentioned this part as well.

poor gas key staking and substandard coating. Aim Surplus was not aware and we have notified them of the issues. We now have only one manufacturer after this stunt.

Bryan,

Do you have any info. on this situation?

If these are bunk can we switch to an AIM BCG?

Hrm. Not what.I wanted to hear. I hope AIM's QC caught any bad ones.

What does this mean as far as a warranty is concerned? In my experience AIM has always stood behind anything they sell, but this sounds like it was an under the table deal (without AIM's knowledge I assume) that did not include Ares Armor.

I would like to know who the manufacturer is that is behind this. NDAs being what they are, I am not holding my breath.

AIM has a pretty exemplary track record for customer service. If you have a problem, I'd wager they make it right.

And that is why I'm not worried. If AIM QC'd them I'll roll with it. AIM has never done me wrong in the past and doubt they will turn shady now.

All were QC'd before shipping, I have spoken to Ares today and gotten to the bottom of it. Everything shipped is 100%, if there us any problem we will handle it directly.

Well, that's good enough for me. 'An honest man's word is as good as his bond.' Bryan has always been honest so no worries here. Looking forward to adding these BCGs to my pile of parts.

Get some of those pencil barrels in and they will turn into rifles soon.

Thanks for the great deals!

When can we buy the 'rejected' ones for even less?

Yep...mine looks exactly like that...some of the machining is rough and I can see the issues Ares may have been upset with...but I think its still a very good deal.

Thank You Bryan!

I got both of mine in today as well. One looks perfect. The other has FA serrations that are a bit rough. I can see why Ares was not happy if this is one of the better ones. The rest of the BCG and bolt itself look fine, so I think it is only cosmetic.

Posted: 9/29/2014 6:09:08 PM EDT

[#22]

Well, quick update. One of the bolts does not seem to be machined quite properly. I had to pull on the firing pin quite hard to disassemble it. When trying to reassemble the entire BCG, the cam pin will not descend into the bolt far enough to allow the firing pin to pass through. The cam pin seems to sit a couple thousanths/inch too shallow and so the firing pin cannot pass through without catching.

Oh well, I'll be in contact Bryan.

Posted: 9/29/2014 6:10:05 PM EDT

[#23]

I got one in today too. It looks about like the one's already posted. Like others have said, some of the machining looks a little rough but nothing that should effect functionality.

Posted: 9/29/2014 6:39:36 PM EDT

[#24]

I bought 2 also, 1 works fine. The other is getting caught inside somewhere and will not retract. After much tinkering and lubing it still is hit or miss in 3 different uppers (Spikes x 2 and an Aero). I'll contact Bryan, not worried.

Posted: 9/29/2014 7:55:06 PM EDT

[#25]

Dang...not looking forward to getting mine now. Looks like quality control was not done on these.

Posted: 9/29/2014 8:10:13 PM EDT

[#26]

Don't sweat it dude, Bryan is already handling it and it's no big deal. The other one works fine.

Posted: 9/29/2014 10:12:35 PM EDT

[#27]

Mine came today, it looks like the one with the rougher machining but, it works just fine in 3 different uppers. I'd never handled a NiB bcg before, it's significantly slicker than the typical bcg. I'm happy overall.

Looks like I had one that "slipped" through AIM's QC process. Mine is not even staked.

we can stake it for you or refund you, let us know

Mine arrived yesterday and it is great. There are a couple of rough machine marks on the inside but the rest is perfect. Wish I would have bought two or 3.

Thanks Aim
