Hello, all I am down to the final few parts of my build (thanks for all the help and info). I was gonna go with a Spikes or a Bravo Company BCG but been out of stock for quite sometime. How is the quality on the PSA BCG's? Are they comparable to the other 2 I listed? Thanks for the input

There was a good sized thread on them recently. The consensus seems to be they are good to go.  I just got one (the premium or whatever they call the one that is MP tested and $10 more) I have not had the chance to shoot it yet but it looks like the other good quality BCGs I've seen.

no personal experience, but from all the reading i've done here they are GTG..

Have about 300 rounds now through one of the "premium" ones they offer in a BCM 14.5" Middy, so far it runs great, but only time will tell.

I have the premium BCG in a PSA upper and so far no problems.

BCM BCG - All the Buzzwords, a reputable company, very well known, more expensive.
PSA BCG - All the exact same Buzzwords, a reputable company, not as well known, cheaper.

My personal opinion - from dealing with them, I trust PSA as good to their word, so I don't see the point in paying more and waiting forever to buy from BCM for essentially the exact same thing....which is an in spec, tested, "popular buzzworded" and appropriately marked BCG.

I just got mine on Wednesday so hoping all will be well.

I just bought a CMT BCG. MP tested bolt and auto carrier. I'm impressed with it.

^this if i waited for bcm to get theirs in i never would have finished mine. i ordered their bc assy w/o bolt and ordered the more spendy bolt from palmetto. had a few ftf but, i'm guessing it's the break in period. it seemed to work fine after a few more rounds. going to run it hard in the desert, in a couple of weeks, so we'll see. does anyone know if the uppers that palmetto sells run auto bcg? thanks?

Yes their uppers do run the fa bcg, mine has worked flawlessly so far

I have their "premium" bolt and carrier in my pistol build. I used a 10.3 Daniel Defense barrel, Mega receivers, and a Palmetto LPK. It runs flawlessly with both commercial .223 and 5.56.

The specs seem to put it in the same quality level as any other top BCG, so I'm inclined to say good to go but not really qualified to.
