There's literally hundreds of threads with the same question and the same answers. BCM wins 10 times out of 10 if within the budget. If not, pretty much any big name brand BCGs will be fine, along with Spikes, PSA, AIM. Pick whoever you can afford and whoever has the best customer service/warranty. No brand is safe from the potential lemon, even BCM. I like DS Arms BCGs. They may not have all the bells and whistles but they are staked good and they have good customer service. Given a choice, I don't see the need to spend over $110 for a BCG/CH Combo. |

I use Colt or FN. My Colts have Colt BCGs of course. Every thing else has FN, mostly because I ran across good deals on them, I consider them equal to Colt. This. I've had the new fangled wiz bangs, and I've had issues with them (new BCGs in new builds, barrels, etc.) and I switched. Now I'm strictly colt and FN, neither of which has had a single hiccup since round 1. |
| If you want to go with a NiB BCG, I would skip the PSA and AIM. Go for the Failzero, they can be had for $139-$149. I put one in my precision AR and it's great, smooth as butter! I was hesitate to spend that kind of money on a BCG but now that I have I'm going to upgrade my 6.5 Grendel and AR-10 to NiB BCGs. |

Since they're hard to get, and stock sells out quickly, you may want to put your name on the waiting list for WC Armory. Another vendor, http://www.monmouthreloading.com/shop/toolcraft-bcg/ has them as well, and will get stock in September. They offer a black nitride ToolCraft with 158 bolt for just under $90.00. |
