Starting a new build (6.8 SPC) and I'd like to know others opinions on what BCG they perfer and why. Quality? Cost? Thanks |

I don't have a 6.8mm SPC yet but I'm working on it, I usually prefer Colt M16 bolt carriers because they're properly staked carrier key screws and that's the brand I had the most good experiences with. Colt are pricey but if I can't get them I would get M16 carriers like LMT, BCM, Denny's GTS super duty, FN contracted M16 (with Torx bolts  ) which are all also properly staked.As for the bolts itself any major brand just as long as it had been HPT (High Pressure Test) and MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected) tested. |
I'm just stating my personal opinion, YMMV. Some don't require their bolt/ barrel tested and it's not a requirement for the manufacturers here in the US but in some other countries and the military it's mandatory to test the quality of the components. On my own current 6.8mm build project I'm going to have mine tested, if not by the manufacturer then by my local gunsmith, to each his own. |
