I bought a BCG from Bravo on Sept 17th. I received it ok, it looked great and installed it in my Windham AR. It seemed a bit stiff but it functioned ok. I put a couple of hundred rounds through over two trips to the range and when I broke it down for a thorough cleaning the other I noticed unusual wear on the extractor and in the interior where the cam pin is. I have two other BCG’s from other rifles that do not show this kind of wear after several hundred rounds. I have attached pic’s of what I am talking about. I reached out to Bravo already (haven't heard back but it is the weekend). I wanted to see if anyone here has seen this kind of wear, is this normal or do I need to get a replacement?

| Hmm... 100 views and not a single response. Oh well... Bravo did return my email this morning. They said to contact them if there was a malfunction. A bit disappointed, for $190 I want it to be damn near perfect. I think I will replace the extractor and spring and see if the problem persists. |
| I'm not an armorer, but I don't see anything to be concerned about. I pulled mine apart this morning. It has less than 1000 rounds through it and there is wear around the extractor, and a few other spots. The weapon still fires flawlessly. If there's a malfunction due to manufacturing, rest assured BCM will make it right. |
| Well, happy ending. Sent back the BCG on the 16th, and I got a replacement on my doorstep this morning. I guess they agreed that there was a problem with the bolt and/or carrier. The new one is much smoother. Cant wait to install it and get to the range..,.. Thanks Bravo. |

How you guys even notice this shit is beyond me. |
