So this is the bcg in stock thread of sorts? In my search for a backup lower, I've become paranoid about my bcg someday falling (on my upper...that I haven't even received yet Lol), so I feel like I need a backup bcg in case they get banned.

Will monitor this thread...and post if I find any.
PS ad mentioned, the individual components are in stock some places. Which component of my bcg would be most likely to fail?

The bolt, firing pin and rings.

Why would BCGs be banned?

"Parts Paranoia" is the reason I can't find just one BCG to finish my first and only build.

Sir, try to find one at EE, this is only option for now IMHO, but you need some bucks for almost twice prices.

This is something I want to know as I wasn't part of the hobby during that time as I was in my teens. Will the parts still be able to be made by the manufactures? If that's the case and all parts can still be made except the lowers then why is there the panic buying? I can see for lowers as it's the only part that has a serial number and would have to be "registered" if things move forward. I would assume things like flash hiders, buffer tubes and collapsible stocks would be banned, I guess barrels that are threaded too. But things like LPKs, BCGs and charging handles would be good to go.

Why would mags be banned? If some liberals were to get their way, the transfer and sale of everything AR related would be banned. Who knows how things will turn out...

Mags and BCG's are two totally different things. I'm not understanding why small parts like BCG's would be banned. Were they in the 1994 ban?

No, small parts of bolts, etc were not banned the first time around. But that doesn't mean anything related to what we are facing now though.

I feel your pain. I am just finishing my first build as well. I got my lower last November just before all the stuff happened. Even the gun show first of December had no real bargains.
I was planning on installing the Osprey Defense OPS-416 piston kit but can't even find the pieces to complete the carrier included in the kit - might just return it.

Good luck with your build.

Peace
Mark

Thank you so much man.....That got me a completed AR Build. It can't get here soon enough.

Now on to the other important part of owning an AR15.....Ammo

Posted: 1/7/2013 7:03:43 PM EDT

[#13]

Glad I could help. Let me know when you find that ammo, I could use some.

First saw the Joebob BCG in Discussion. Thanks to those who pointed it out. I quickly ordered on my phone

I've had an order with RGUNS before Xmas but don't have a lot of faith. Just need to find a nice 14.5 barrel to complete my build.

Keep your eye on http://www.slickguns.com/today during the day, there's acceptable deals on ammo that will pop up for a few mins.

Really was super priced for nowdays

Posted: 1/7/2013 8:04:56 PM EDT

[#19]

Yup that was a good deal, I got my order in for one just in time. I was in such a hurry to order I forgot to add a charging handle and the 5% off code.

I received emails from Fail Zero and WMD today and was set to buy from one of them till I got Drmtsu's message. WMD said if I order before Weds, the BCG will go out before the month is over. They charge your card when you order. Fail Zero said that that they are backed up 3-4 weeks, but they don't charge your card till it ships. Either one seems like a good route.

There is BCM BCG recently listed on eBay for $300. Yes yes I know this is quite expensive, but much better than 400-450.
Listing 160952076192 , seems seller has more than one, 100% feedback. Please note, I am not affiliated with seller!

How's the quality of RGUNS BCG's?

Posted: 1/8/2013 7:40:34 AM EDT

[#24]

they are not made by rguns, they are made by another "big supplier". They appear to be of good quuailty to me. From what I have ready they are mil spec.

I'd love to get a BCM or DD if I can but I've ordered an rgunsv in case I can't. Just wondering if I even need to be concerned about the difference in quality?

WMD stopped taking orders for BCGs... Dammit! BTW, what did Fail Zeros email say? I want to order a NiB BCG ASAP and have already emailed them with no reply.

I just got an in stock notification email from Joe Bob Outfitters that their Cera-Plated Complete Bolt Carrier Group is in stock again. I clicked on it, but it still shows as being on order with no ETA. I placed an order anyway.

I've been looking at there site all day. I got an email at 1:19 pm MT time and have been trying to get in touch with them ever since. They website was never updated to "IN STOCK".

I also got this mail and checked 3 min later - out of stock.

Just keep an eye out in EE and they will be there next week for double the price. This shit is stupid! This is all I'm missing for my build and I refuse to pay double the price for one. Guess I'll need to wait until my BO from Midway comes in next month.

Yup I agree. It might be good idea for Bravo to make Backorder, this prevent these dirty hucksters dirty play.

Yes it was; they sold out an hour before you got that e-mail though. They had them in stock for 18 minutes.

I guess this isn't a BCG in stock thread. I might as well post a useless " I too didn't get a BCM BCG because the email was too late" post too.

I had the day off work, so I hit refresh every 5 seconds this morning. The moment they came in stock, I bought one. I then refreshed every minute to see how long they stayed in stock. 18 minutes later, it went from "In Stock" to "Out of Stock."

No magic here.

Same thing here, I got the email at 12:12mtn time, went straight to the sight, and....already out of stock. Looks like I missed by a friggin' mile by being an hour late. FML, I only want one to finish my goddamn build.

I have kept Rainer Arms, & BCM up daily, with constant refreshes on their BCG and Lower Receiver sections, I have email notifications setup. But I had to step away for a few minutes. Fuck.

For what its worth, this just came up on slickguns:

http://www.slickguns.com/product/thunderstreak-m4-16-mil-spec-upper-550

It comes with a complete BCG. I bought one just for the BCG, and I'll sell the remaining upper.

Posted: 1/9/2013 8:01:40 PM EDT

[#45]

Update: Out of Stock. Only a computer glitch made them appear as available. Guess I won't be getting my BCG after all.

Anyone ever here of Kom Tactical? They supposedly have 186 Black Rain BCG's in stock for $269 (which isn't too horrible considering my local shop usually stocks them for $239). I'm just afraid its a scam.

http://www.komtactical.com/product_p/bro-bcg.htm

If this isn't legit, and I am beginning more and more to think that, it could be a growing trend, so be wary of "upstarts".

thanks

Sounds strange to me. The stock is still the same as when you posted...

also, they have

5102 CMMG lower parts kits in stock
561 CMMG 22 LR conversions in stock
The claim to have PMAGs in stock

Very few things are out of stock. And the quantities of items are astronomical for a few things, for a site I've never heard of. If you can get them on the phone, you could place an order. Otherwise I would pass

And you cant contact them..............according to the site

However :+408.493 5486 is the supposed number to guy who pays the bill for the site.
