I need to purchase one, and i feel like I'm taking crazy pills. BCM is selling their bolt carriers for $200? These are salad day prices? There's also a bunch of other companies I don't recognize. So what's the go to right now? https://www.righttobear.com/failzero-m16-full-mass-exo-bolt-carrier-group-p/fz-01428.htm |

You rounding up, or looking at some fancy ion-bond coated BCG?
I see $169 MSRP for these all over the place. Accounting for inflation, that's about what they've always been outside of panics. Tons of nice BCG's all over the place. I have more carriers than I know what to do with so I usually just get decent bolts; BCM/DD/Sionics/SOLGW/etc for $65ish Toolcraft and AIM surplus are popular for complete basic BCGs. |

I just bought 2 toolcraft BCG for $59 each from AR15 store
Price is good but the shipping was high. In any event, it is a pretty good deal. |

PSA premiums are made by Toolcraft, and use C158 bolts. I have never had an issue with them and feel they are identical in every way to BCM.
This for $60 and free shipping: https://palmettostatearmory.com/palmetto-state-armory-5-56-premium-full-auto-bolt-carrier-group-8779.html If the logo gets your panties in a wad, then pay an extra $10 for the no-logo model for $70 and free shipping. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-5-56-premium-hpt-mpi-full-auto-bolt-carrier-group-no-logo-39339.html |

I'm probably alone, but it seems like I'm getting a lot of BCGs that are really tight. Hundreds of rounds until the bolt moves freely. Carriers that need to get pushed really hard to snap onto a BEV block. Retainer pins flared to hell that won't go back in easily.
Doesn't hurt a thing, just observations. |

Other than the 2 Toolcraft that I got a smokin' deal on this year, I am sure that I paid too much for them; they are Spikes, WMD, and one DD. They are sitting on my cases of .22 LR

BCM are the only ones who want a premium. Everyone else is fair priced. I think Spikes are better and way better prices

Unless you value the brand (Colt, KAC) or want some design features (JP, LMT), I'd never pay more than $100 for a bog standard milspec BCG. Plenty of quality ones for less.
I don't think BCM has strong enough a brand to warrant the premium, but then again what I do know. |

Tell you what OP, I'll sell you one of my spare Toolcrafts for $150, thus saving you $50.
