Has i believe 3 instock since i just bought one It says OOS still but you can purchase them through payapal.

Are these quality BCG's? Specs: HP/MPI Bolt M16 bolt carrier properly staked gas key Microslick all parts These are "sport" BCGs only because the bolt itself isn't exact Mil-Spec material. It doesn't have the "big mac" steel. It's properly hardened steel that simulates or approximates the properties found in Carpenter 158 (which is the Carpenter brand of steels, a product like big mac or whopper). Functionally, it is no different than Carpenter 158. I am 100% guaranteeing the functionality of these BCGs. I have them in about four of my personal rifles already (same source) and have used them for probably 2-3k out of one rifle and the rest have 300-1,000 on them each. I have no issues with guaranteeing them. im guessing its 9000 series steel if it is suppossed to be exactly like carpenter 158, which alot of other companies use Hi DHWreckage. What do you mean by that you personally are guaranteeing these BCG's? Do you work for STS Arms? Your post earlier looked more like you were a customer who just bought a BCG? |

I clicked "add to cart" and it showed 4 in the cart at $189. I guess that makes me a yahoo, as opposed to it being a crappy web site. Those are WAY overpriced people. If you think about it its not really over priced for the current climate, if RCA's and other Ni-B coated ones are going for 250+ Microslik is a boron nitride coating that is just as good if not better than Ni-B! Is that why it was $189 in February? They sold out really fast and thought "man we could jack these prices up and still sell out". Still a good product, but they are overpriced. If I wanted to pay "current climate" prices I'd go to gunbroker. |

So are you saying that most BCG's are Mil-Spec and this one is not, or is it just really common for BCG's to not be mil-spec like this? This is my first BCG purchase, and it is for my first AR-15 build, so I'm just concerned since I'm a little ignorant on them. Thanks for your help. |

I emailed RCA early in March to find out HOW to pre-order from them. Then did as I was told and sent an email with my information...
Didn't receive an order confirmation or anything yet, but I'll stick it out and see if they charge/ship today. (fingers crossed) |

(fingers crossed) I just got my notice a few minutes ago, I think they are still trying to get through the list of people. Something along the lines of 250 or so, if you called and gave them your CC and billing info within the last couple of weeks you should probably get your notice soon. |

No, it just means that it isn't made the exact way that is in the specifications. For example, if you were making bread and the recipe said use "Arm & Hammer" brand baking powder, but you used some other brand, its really not going to matter. |

All he is doing is being transparent where as the carrier is the exact milspec material used the bolt is not it is a similar metal that mimics the carpenter 158's characteristics. If you dont feel comfortable with it dont get it, its as simple as that! I have done plenty of research and feel fine buying them on the other hand. |

Just spoke to Chris at RCA. He said the pre-order process has been a cluster and they won't be doing that again. Said to keep and eye on website and Facebook as they may have some extra's next week depending on what inventory they send to their vendors.
Said for the next round in mid April they will just be selling them on the website and won't be taking pre-orders. |

I was in the same boat as you and started wondering when everyone else was getting confirmation calls or emails. I emailed Chris and he said I was on the list for this go round. If you gave them your payment/billing info and shipping info before they wot contact you until shipping confirmation from what I understand. I'm stoked to get mine. A little pricey but I've saved a load of time not having to scour the web and the BCG's themselves seem to be awesome. I've used several weapons that have had the black nitride treatment and it really is a badass coating/treatment. Truly mil spec components + black nitride + a Lil Slip EWL = win in my book. |

Just got my order confirmation and payment confirmation from RCA!!!! Order placed over the phone on 3/6!!!! Can't wait!!! ordered 3/2 and nothing yet.. Don't worry, the email is coming. Apparently they are working like crazy to get the orders processed, I imagine they are keying in the information one at a time at a POS terminal while someone else sends out the email/gets them packaged for shipment. |

If it makes you feel better I hear chris is doing orders in alphabetical order. I called at 3pm and he was on l-n pile. Rest assured if he said your on the list. Your on the list.

Quoted:
These are "sport" BCGs only because the bolt itself isn't exact Mil-Spec material. It doesn't have the "big mac" steel. It's properly hardened steel that simulates or approximates the properties found in Carpenter 158 (which is the Carpenter brand of steels, a product like big mac or whopper). Functionally, it is no different than Carpenter 158. I am 100% guaranteeing the functionality of these BCGs. I have them in about four of my personal rifles already (same source) and have used them for probably 2-3k out of one rifle and the rest have 300-1,000 on them each. I have no issues with guaranteeing them. im guessing its 9000 series steel if it is suppossed to be exactly like carpenter 158, which alot of other companies use What do you mean by it is not Mil-Spec? I thought all BCG's had to be Mil-Spec in order for them to work? So are you saying that most BCG's are Mil-Spec and this one is not, or is it just really common for BCG's to not be mil-spec like this? This is my first BCG purchase, and it is for my first AR-15 build, so I'm just concerned since I'm a little ignorant on them. Thanks for your help. I actually just talked to Sam at Tactical solutions and he said all parts on his Microsliked BCG's are milspec, the metals and the testing methods. so they should be carpenter 158 bolts, that description i posted earlier was from almost a year ago i believe so these should be good to go. Regardless im just finally happy i finally finished my build! |

Got my order confirmation from FailZero today, one M16 NiB BCG for $225 plus $10 shipping. Now I just have to wait. Still looking for the lower, all other parts are now in hand or confirmed for shipment.
