An awesome bang for your buck BCG.

I have 3 and will never buy another type of BCG.

This Microbest chrome plated BCG is a great deal. The quality of the machining is very good, especially on the bolt itself, and the chrome plating is excellent! I don’t have all the gauges to spec it out but I can say the gas rings are tight in the carrier bore and the carrier is a little tight when fully inserted into the brand new upper (an Aero m4E1), which to me implies tight machining tolerances. The inside of the carrier bore and the hammer engagement ramp are very smooth, and I was especially impressed with the clean and uniform radiusing on the lugs of the bolt.
I would like to add that I really appreciate the way Rooftop has plentiful stock of quality parts that are endlessly out-of-stock elsewhere (like this bolt carrier group and criterion barrels), and then top it off with great service and reasonable shipping options. This is a first rate outfitter!

One of the few milspec+ carriers I run. The upgraded inserts is a nice touch and helps with mk18s or similar builds. Chrome is the coating I prefer on anything that is serious use. As always, Sol doesn’t fail to disappoint on shipping or prices. If he doesn’t have it, I wait until he does
