This makes me happy!

Perhaps a future gunsmith. 👍

@@RicArmstrong we work on our guns. The young mans error is “fixing” until they are not working some times😁 but that’s learning.

Lol

The borescope: "Aight ima head out"

Glad you liked that! 🤣

FYI they use the FoF BCG in the Sabre

My 16" forged model is coming tomorrow. Ilyk

@@mikesterman123 sweet

@@user-qh3cb3kz7r cool!

Black king firearms has really nice handguards too

Lol, not to mention solgw bcg is made by microbest too

It's a direct shot at them. Same with their FoF lower. They ripped off the angry patriot.

How much is psa trying to undercut solgw prices by?

@@mr.excitement689 I dunno I just tried looking and they were sold out with no listed price. I know solgw bcgs normally go around 149.99 everywhere

@@muddyhotdog4103 the FoF are 129.99

I was asleep when I got the notification from Primary Arms ;-)

Except when the name is a blatant rip off by someone with an unhealthy obsession lf SOLGW

Very common. I’d say most extractors are done that way. BCM sends even their upgraded extractor spring with both donut and insert.

@@JohnMaxGriffin thanks for the info, much appreciated 👍

@@abolishtheatfandrepealthen6014 absolutely friend!

@@eliasaamot573 that's why I asked. I've seen Chad mention only needing one or the other. I haven't had any issues and didn't want to cause any by messing with it but I'll have to try taking the donut off and see how it goes. What issues can arise from excessive extraction strength?

@@eliasaamot573 thanks for the info bud. They currently run beautifully so I'll leave them be until I replace the springs with sprincos

Hahahaha dude I died laughing. OH NO COME BACK!

Bolt is carpenter 158, carrier is 8620, and firing pin is a hard chrome coated 8740. They've been selling them at just $100 for the past few months now. Honestly I think this is the best BCG you can get for the money and manufacturer.

I see a massive amount of problems with PSA items in my classes.

Getting a BCG right doesn't mean PSA makes quality rifles. Plus, the reason they got these bcgs right is because they have nothing to do with the manufacturing of them.

If you use the sprinco spring they say to use either the insert or the o-ring, one or the other but not both

A Sprinco or Colt gold spring will be fine without a donut.

Micro-Best makes BCGs for BCM DD and Colt I believe. This is basically a BCM BCG without the BCM branding. You can get these for $145 and the Chrome lined ones for $175. One of the best BCGs you can get hands down is a Sionics BCG, especially their NP3 BCG. They have probably the best staking method in the industry. I would get a Micro-Best over almost any other BCG unless you're getting the aforementioned Sionics BCGs, LMT Enhanced BCG (L7Q3), Surefire OBC BCG, or a Forward Controls Design S-BCG. Toolcraft also makes BCGs for a lot of companies and you can get their BCGs for $129. Top-tier BCGs: Sionics NP3 BCG Sionics BCG in Black Phosphate Forward Controls Design S-BCG LMT Enhanced BCG (L7Q3) Surefire OCB BCG Sharp's Xtreme Performance Bolt in DLC Micro-Best BCG Toolcraft BCG

@@hodlwise2470 I wish I could find a Sionics Np3 or FCD Np3.. Starting a new 300blk build and it will stay suppressed 95% of the time. Besides being the one of the best BCG’s made, having the Np3 coating would really make clean up much easier. I will run my SRC w/DLC and upgraded Sprinco 5 coil since it will serve its purpose very well but if I can get the Np3 FCD or Sionics, it would be nice to have as a backup in case something happens. Not sure why it would but never know… It looks as if Sionics doesn’t even list the Np3 as being available to purchase currently so not sure if/when it will be available.

@@the_bearded_hobdy895 I don't know why KZfaq just deleted my elaborate response. Let me try again. I called SIONICS last year to inquire when their NP3 BCGs would be back in stock. They wrote back immediately and said they had some in stock and sent me an invoice. That's how I got mine. I'd be willing to bet they have them in stock right now, so if I were you I would contact them and inquire. They are really nice and friendly people, and even put a hand written note in the package. They said it would ship in 10-14 days and it was *delivered* 2 days later lol.

@@hodlwise2470 yeah they love deleting crap lol.. And that’s very good to know, I will be contacting them as soon as possible!! I’ve heard they are awesome as well and I really appreciate you sharing that with me!

No. The no-go gauge he uses is larger than a normal 5.56 case. There would be no way to tell if the gun was unsafe by chambering a round.

One thing he showed was that they often coat them after tapping the holes for the gas key screws and that that prevents the gas key screws from tightening properly.

Additionally over time the coating can flake off

Class Zz minus gauges any reputable company will work .0002 tolerance is fine

Best choice for 100 in my opinion

Really where's that?

@@joem5110 I get it and that sucks man. Dishonesty like that is rampant

I doubt a well respected company like microbest is going to risk it. If this was a $50 no name bcg bought at a gunshow then maybe, but not a name brand like this.

lol they have every spec but bolt steel..prob not c-158

I know my microbest said its c158 and solgw says theirs are s158

Sounds made up

They are for sale all day everyday.

Ifdot . Like the set in this video?

@@itsamk18-ish pin gauges come as positive or negative specs depending on the class pin. This site explains way better than I can how to use them as go or nogo. www.newmantools.com/meyer/pluggage_ABC.htm

Vermont gauges sell all types of measurement gauges , just find out what specs you need and im pretty sure they have it.

Maybe heat. But idk how that would effect strength after

Ringing it on an anvil.

You need a de-gauser, however I don't think that will work in this case. I believe the BCG materials are non ferrous which is why the magnet won't stick, if its a ferrous material the magnet would stick, and impart magnetic properties onto it. If you have a ferrous metal constantly interacting with another ferrous material it will over time become magnetic

Yes a degausser would work, the parts are all steel.

@@Tom-qx5nl a non-ferrous recipe though, yes?

No not at all, there are only a handful of manufactures that make each type of major component. They make them to the requested spec. PSA just like everyone that doesn’t make everything in house rarely tell where the components come is from and will say ifs a trade secret.

Not from what I can tell.

The brand that makes it is on the packaging....

Actually Anderson is the worst you can buy...that being said even though this is sold by PSA its made by Microbest a respected company. Its not an in house PSA product. Its not a $60 BCG and this would be considered a Good to Go part if someone wanted a basic bcg and not an enhanced bcg from knights etc

so people complain that there quality is not up to solgw but now that it is people still complain lol

This is my issue too. If they had just released a bolt carrier group by microbest as their own and didnt do this then I would probably be more welcoming of it.

@@SouthValleyKnifeCo that's it RIGHT there.. shoots, I'm not ignorant as to where Sons gets their products, we all know the parts kits are just rebranded Schmid Tool parts as is PSA's, however how they are marketed is a big issue for me. And that's some punk ass marketing that PSA did on this bcg. I'll spend the extra 20-30 buck on a SOL bcg for that reason alone.

@@yahsservant7509 SOLGW gets their receivers from Zev... PSA does not. Where they get their LPK I am not sure. Barrels are BA and their BCGs are well we know. So unsure where Schmidt comes in. But yes, this was a bitch ass move by chad Wylie

@@SouthValleyKnifeCo I was specifically using the lpk as an example of the two companies using the same product. Schmid is both their lpk manufacturer, including the "liberty trigger" and psa's " enhanced polished trigger". SOLGW pairs em with KNS detents.. not sure of psa's but they both feel the same to me..

@@yahsservant7509 SOLGW does pay extra for the KNS pins. Also it's not so much feel as it will be longevity. Plus having worked in the making of these parts. I can definitely tell you theres differing levels of parts that get sold at different price points depending where they fall on the tolerances. So it is reasonable to expect that SOLGW pays extra for the better parts.

PSA fucking sucks giant fucky-balls

Who is Chad Wylie?

Seethe

@Mark it Zero okay thanks for the answer. Why the degree of vitriol?

@@itsamk18-ish I agree to an extent. However PSA blatantly ripped off their logo and had an extremely similar name. Something else is that SOLGW had specified from microbest that their bolt carrier groups were to have springco Springs in them. BCM and Centurion both do not even though they are both microbest bolt carrier groups. So the fact that PSA used a microbest bolt carrier group put it in a line of parts that bear is an extremely close resemblance to Sons of Liberty tells me it's a direct swipe at them that coupled with Chad's insane obsession with them for some weird reason this isn't a coincidence this is planned and it's disgusting.
