Where can I find a damn M16 BCG... Searched the entire internet for 2 hours and every possible place is out of stock unless its a piece of sh## one or a really expensive coated one. I just need a simple good quality m16 BCG for my pistol build.

Any help in pointing me in a direction would be awesome

Black Rifle Armory in Henderson had a few Les Bear BCG's in stock.  Not sure if they were M16 or not though.  Didn't look close.  I think they were asking $150.

I got mine a couple weeks ago from Bravo Company.  I had it set to email me when it came in stock.  I don't know how many they started with, but they sold out within a couple hours.  You may have to do something similar.

I tried Brownells and everywhere else I could. The link you posted is back ordered. Seems like a few years ago I got an LMT BCG shipped with no hassle for $120. Guess those days are gone. Been getting some parts in from Midway maybe ill just watch that for a daniel defense or something close.

At least its not just me... thanks for the help

Have you called them to see how long they are back ordered for?  Could only be a few days. They show the bolt carrier itself as being in stock as well as the individual components, so if you need one RFN just order it a la carte and be done with it.

Bravo Company sent an email earlier today for in stock BCGs, did you get one?

Nope no email or anything guess I got screwed on that one. Was going to pick up one of those Spikes ones on EE but wife shot it down. Said I got to wait till the end of the month and I said they will be gone the end of the day. Guess I am just screwed and will have to wait and see if Midway gets their DD ones in stock by the 31st as the site says.

Just to prove that I'm not the dick everyone thinks I am on here, I have some spare BCM bcgs, and one of the arfcom bcgs they sell on here. You can have one for my cost, the BCMs cost me 170 with shipping, I think the arfcom one was 140. This offer is only for the OP, I don't want a bunch of requests to buy them. OP can email me through here.

Well I will never say you are not a nice person. I don't want to dry up your spares I ended up getting a spikes off of EE... the wife does not need to know unless she intercepts the mail.

Thanks again for everyone's help. You all truly are the best of Arfcom especially you Rider79!
