TM is running a special on BCGs for $100.  I picked one up for my DSA upper.

When the order was placed I could not get TM to comment on who the MFG was.

Anyone else got one of these or know of the source?  They look good and seem to be staked ok.

Thanks,  Edit with pics below: no markings.

Their site is poorly designed... you can't clock any of their specials to order them and can't find BCG's or $100 lowers listed under products.

First, I could be mistaken. Having said that, I believe that all of their bolts are made by Young Manufacturing. I do know for a fact that the chrome ones with their TM logo are YM units, just like Spike's. I have one of their $100 bolts, but have not fired it yet. I built my girlfreind an AR a few days ago and put that bolt in it. We hope to find time to go to the range this weekend and give it a whirl. TM's site is in need of some work, I'll admit, but I have been to their facility and they are first class guys who are offering quality items that people can actually afford. It is best to call them to get what you need. Their lowers are excellent in fit and they machine them in house instead of putting their rollmark on them and calling it theirs, like some really popular companies that everyone praises and swoons over, lol.  I have two TM lowers and I'm going to their facilty in a couple weeks to get two more. Their bolts look good. I do not think they are MPC bolts though. For $100 I don't think anyone else has MPC BGCs, so I think what you get for the $100 is fine and they are staked like they actually cared, unlike the Bushmaster bolts that I have experienced.... that's another thread and a sore subject, not happy about the CS or lack thereof. We may see this weekend and I will chime in with the good or bad about the TM bolt if we get to the range. I do think it will do the job just fine, especially for $100....

FN's subcontractor makes their carriers.    AO Precision

BTW they are working on the shopping cart for the site. Guys, don't let the site scare you away. These guys have a great thing going and I am well pleased with everything I have bought from them. Call them and order. They are knowledgeable, professional, and don't mind taking a minute to answer questions. I didn't meet anyone there that didn't know their stuff. Check them out.

Oh yeah, my TM BCG is chrome lined inside the key and carrier.

I'll get some pics up soon, my internet has been up and down lately.

I am pleased with TM's products, and services.  Just give them a call.
My BCG shipped the same day. Ordered Fri, arrived Monday.  
If you are local to FL you might find TM products at the Gun Shows.

No markings on my TM BCG.

Glad I saw this thread.  I think I'll have to get a couple or a few of these BCG's.  Thanks, all, for posting.

Pull the bolt out, and check for markings.
