Bravo has a BCM bolt carrier group MPI tested for $149.95  
They also list a CMT BCG MPI tested for $130.
I thought CMT is Continental Machine & Tool. a major player in the AR world.
Why is the CMT $20 cheaper?  Is it inferior to the BCM?

What does BCM stand for?

BCM= Bravo Company Manufacturing

A lot of people swear by their BCGs but I don't know how it compares to the CMT.

You've been a member since 2001 and you don't know who BCM is? Really?

(Hint: Bravo Company Mfg. Don't tell anyone else.)

BCM = Bravo Company Mfg.

BCM BCG's are assembled to Paul's specs which easily meet those of even keyboard commandos! Simply put, while you are correct CMT does make a lot of parts, they do not test each individual part as BCM, LMT, or Colt does. LMT has been given a back seat as of lately due to their choice to use MIM and Colt BCG's are tough to find below $200 so a BCM being of equal if not better quality fits the bill nicely at $160 and comes with top notch customer service!

The extra $$$ for the BCM is worth it IMO.  Get the BCM BCG!

Take it easy on me guys, I'm into ARs I prefer Colt factory guns, of which I have three.
I'm asking about the BCG because I'm not into the various makes and parts, and this is a Christmas gift for a relative that is building his own on a RRA lower
that I gave him.
It seems that BCM wins, so that is what Santa will get him.
Thanks for the help.

It's a gift, I didn't think it would be right to angle for an LE discount for a product I'm giving away...the BCM will do.

You all forgot BCM is HP and MPI tested...CMT and MOST others are NOT!  They are just MPI tested, which means squat without HP testing first

Also BCM uses the proper Carpenter No. 158 steel.
