NOTE: the description has been updated to state that the bolt is 9310 steel, not 8620.
i ordered two via phone on Monday morning and they were delivered to California by Wednesday. definitely the lowest-price BCG i've seen in a while!
as stated below, the gas key staking barely seems to make contact with the screw heads, but that should be easy to fix. the bolt, cam, and retention pin all seem milspec enough. one of the bolts seemed to have gas rings with a bit of a sharp edges, so i might stone them slightly.
the two bolt carriers are phosphated to fairly different colors: one is very charcoal-black, the other is more gunmetal-grey. i'm not sure what's up with this "nano ceramic" lining, but there's some kinda lightly-streaked grey coating in the BC. one BCG's bolt cycled pretty smoothly off the bat, while the other seemed to have some production residue inside and didn't smooth out until it was cleaned, oiled, and hand-cycled a dozen times. this same BCG also has a bit of a nick around the gas key and some rough parkerizing on the underside, but it should't affect operation.
i haven't tried testing them yet (one is for a buddy) but they appear like typical milspec BCGs. they're not cosmetically perfect, but they're plenty good for the money.
Got mine Saturday. Fit and finish seems fine. Gas key does not look to be properly staked. It's crimped and the crimps don't look to be making contact with the bolt heads. Nothing a punch can't fix but that's the way it's shipping.
i ordered one today the 26th of April and by noon i had a USPS tracking number. i will come on and post a comment/feedback of this BCG.
I'm looking at getting on of these are they any good?
I cannot atest to their fit and finish. However, 8620 steel is used for pavement busting jackhammer chisels.
If you get one or more, let us know the fit and finish.
Pleasure dealing with the folks. You have to call them at 662-781-4633, provide them with your address and credit card info and it ships the same day. Shipping was very reasonable and a small fee for the credit card. A tracking number is also provided. Effortless!
How do you even make the purchase? There is no store.
As a machinist I have done a lot of work with this steel and have seen the abuse it can take. The only reason I can see to not buy this is HIGHLY abusive situations such as firing multiple 100 round clips on full auto from a pistol, etc.
Make sure you are OK with an 8620 BOLT not just CARRIER before jumping.
Ordered mine on Wednesday at 2:50, just received it (in Florida) Friday at 2:00. They shipped same day and got it to me VERY fast.
The BCG looks great, and mine was staked well enough. If I was taking this to war I would probably stake it a little better, but if I was going to war I would probably be spending a little more than the $134 shipped I paid for it.
I will post an updated review after I go shooting with it.
