In the 458 socom bolt carrier which one is better the cmmg are the Wilson combat bolt thanks
probably a dumb question but how would he be able to have a fully automatic BCG? is is something a civilian can have?
That's not what viscosity means.
You are calling the little pin in the face view an extractor, The little round pin when you look a the bolt face is the EJECTOR, The little leaver on the side of bolt is the EXTRACTOR. Learn your correct bolt parts before byoy make video.
Will there be any legality issues if I were to put a BCG with an M16 cut into my fixed mag AR-15 (CA compliant AR15)? Or must it be a BCG with an AR15 cut? Thanks
good info. looked up my Springfield Saint's specs:
BOLT CARRIER GROUP
M16 BCG w/ Carpenter 158 Steel Bolt, Shot Peened & Magnetic Particle Inspected
Runnin it dry with no lube….nice
It sure looks nice and shiny…..you have to remember….The only contact points are on the rails. The rest is all looks. The working part is the bolt. Chrome lining is something u want. Specs on the BOLT is what you want to look at. Remember….contact points. That's where your wear is at. I chuckle when ppl over spend on overpriced stuff. (There is a diff in an ar15/m16 bcg, but in the back area close to the buffer tube)
awesome video
A semi-automatic bolt carrier group is called that because it can't engage with the auto-sear in a fully automatic lower receiver. It probably bears mentioning that a full auto bolt carrier does nothing to convert your rifle to automatic without a full auto lower receiver – it's just got more reciprocating mass which, theoretically, makes the rifle more reliable.
He said mass in the rear end LOL
Great video … I'd be interested in seeing that bolt taken apart… Springs and shit flying everywhere. I'll be waiting.
Thanks for the Great Info.!!
Is it me or does that fail zero bcg not even look staked properly lol.
i got a fail zero bcg for 100 bucks on budsgunshop
Just wanted to add that the FAIL ZERO bolt carrier group is NOT "HPT" tested, as they feel that live-firing EVERY bolt carrier group is better then doing the simple "HPT" test that a lot of the other brands do. I like the fact that they test each and every BCG in an actual rifle before it leaves the factory, thus making sure the bolt functions properly and that it can withstand the pressures in a live-fire setting. Thanks for the great vids man, and keep up the great work!
I do believe they use phosphate in military issue because of its durability, not NB or BN.
Stick to a well known, quality, proven name and there's nothing to worry about.
Colt, BCM, LMT, Daniel Defense, Toolcraft, Microbest, all offer proper BCG's sold by proven AR manufacturers and supply our military.
helpful, thx!
Very informative and easy to understand. Thanks for the video.
very informative. thanks for taking the time to help out the newbie lol
Good job on explaining a BCG.
I still get a little confused on the type of steels especially when buying knives, and I assume that it might be the same with the materials of a BCG.
I've found that with knives, companies come up with their own ratings and nomenclature of types of steels a knife that a knife is made of (it's all marketing) so there are no standards between companies. Is it the same with the steel that a BCG is made of? Saying the type of steel the BCG is made out of means nothing when there is no standard between companies. thanks
