| How does Ice Arms compare to other brand parts from Top to bottom BCM, Colt, DD, LMT down to Bushwacker & down to DPMS and etc. They have good price on BCGs. I like to find out how some brand names compair from Top Shelf to Bottom Shelf . |

new fly by night company jumping on the ar band wagon go with est companies they are an Industry Partner. They're still establishing themselves, but I'd trust them. This. I never noticed any of the random spontaneous companies become an industry partner on the site. I'd really like to see a well-done review of their barrels for a pistol build, but they're still too new.

I am new to the AR world but I did order a Nickle Boride auto BCG in may for 175 for my first AR and my first build.
I dont have enough experiance to know quality other than what I have learned on this forum but I do have a few hundred rounds through it now and it has functioned well. |
| I'll put a few hundred rounds thought my NiB carrier group before I give an opinion. Seems like they have had a few "growing pains" as most new companies do. However, the customer service # they list on their site is a guys cell phone who was very accommodating when I spoke with him. I was all set to buy their pistol barrel before a 99$ option presented itself. |

Good for the price, nothing special. Bolts look good - C158 or the 9000-something steel. Carriers have slightly more than average machining marks - but function fine. I bought one of their BCGs a while back. CC processing is out of Canada, so be aware of that (you'll have a foreign exchange fee, but price is reduced accordingly). My BCG wasn't staked, but not a huge deal. Exchange was offered, but I didn't want to wait the 2+ weeks (WA to DE shipping both ways).
Good honest stuff at fair prices. |
| My only concern with their BCGs was that their extractor is investment cast. While investment cast can be awesome for certain parts, and extractor doesnt seem like one of them. They should be tool steel like S7 or D2. Have there been any reports of them failing? Just seems weird to use IC when such a small D2 or S7 part wouldnt cost much more. My guess could be completely wrong though and the IC extractors could hold up great. |

They could have cleaned up there act by now but this is what some people got.
