I bought a few of these for $5/ea back in 2020 - the dang things are $15/ea now! Any less costly options out there? I'm frankly surprised they're not on Amazon, Alibaba, or Wish for $1/ea.

hold the bcg in and keep dirt and junk from infiltrating the upper.
I have a gun case with 1 lower and 3 uppers. I switch uppers at the range. This would be perfect for this. |

So what are you going to suggest using when a truck runs over your upper and your fancy upper diaper fails? The point is just that the dust cover doesn't hold the bolt against any sort of more than gentle motion... the answer to your question is probably "curse loudly" but "upper diaper" would be an awesome name for such a product

Drove from Indiana to Yellowstone and back with my AR in two pieces. Not even once did the BCG fall out.
To be fair I didn't hold it by the barrel and shake it over concrete, or swing the upper around like a baseball bat, or rub it all over my clothes, so probably not a real test... |

I also pull batteries out of everything and take pics of my scope turrets if I have anything other than 0-0 dialed in. I don’t trust tsa. |
