[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help me ID this .308 BCG

Anyone have any idea who the manufacturer of this BCG is? Came out of a DPMS pattern upper(.308).

The only marking is “MADE IN USA” on the carrier.

IMHO, there are numerous places selling the "slick side" ( no forward assist cuts ) 308 BCG... since yours appears to be nitrated , it is a more current manufactured BCG

But...

The KNS style perma pin ( FP retaining pin ) wasn't used by many manufacturers.

So that "might" help narrow down your search.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

What is the diameter of the tip of the firing pin ?
(you will need a micrometer or dial calipers, because the difference is slight)
That differs between Armalite & DPMS patterns.
Thin there is a difference dimensions on the bolt also, but can't put my finger on them right now.
