Here’s a review of the Aim Surplus NiB BCG. I do some shooting with it, talk about some of the benefits of NiB, go over the specs, and what I think of it overall.

That will be my bcg of choice when I finish my build! Thanks for posting this!
I've done quite a bit of research on these and they seem to be getting pretty good reviews across the board. They are 99.99 shipped and I think I'm gonna pick one up. I hope it works out well in my PSA AR I'm building. Nothing fancy just need a good ol reliable rifle.
You don't mention what buffer weight you're running with it. I'm running a standard 3 oz. buffer weight and wonder if the extra mass of a full auto BCG is going to cycle properly.
As a welder with many years of experience, 9310 heat treated steel is more than enough to make a proper and very good quality BCG. I don't understand why people think that it is an inferior metal. I mean if you buy a fly by night $50 special 9310 cheapo bottom barrel garage shit build special, that hasn't been properly treated then yeah it will be crap. But then again if you put any kind of machined steel BCG that hasn't been properly treated in a weapon, well it is going to fail and fail rather quickly and with a greater chance of catastrophic( breaking in half or blowing up) than a properly made and treated product regardless of the type of steel it is made of.
update on this bcg, how is it holding now?
all I can hope is all these guys rush out to buy the expensive NiB bolts so I can buy their barely used regular bolts off them dirt cheap. never had a problem with my standard BCGs, not even cleaning wise.
what handguard/for end is that? me likey
Mike, what are your thoughts on the nickel teflon BCG's vs NiB?
I am going to purchase a BCM upper and i can add the BCM bolt carrier group and charging handle for 69 dollars. My question is should i just go with that or get AIM surplus NiB and then buy the charging handle separate. I know normally NiB would be better but you can get them for 100 bucks now and that makes me think maybe this is a lesser quality BCG even though its NiB. I have heard people say before that the BCM bolt carrier group is probably in the top 3 bolt carrier groups period…
can you do a review on the new "Light Weight" NiB 9310 BCG??

Mike, quick question for you; I have an unfired Smith & Wesson M&P Sport and I just purchased an Aim Surplus Nitrided V2 BCG. Should I head space check it or should I just assume that S&W did their job and installed the barrel correctly? You test lots of BCG's – would you test a brand new, factory built gun when paired with a brand new Aim Surplus BCG? I wouldn't think it imperative that I should. Some people say to never worry about it. What are your thoughts?
Great review, I have been looking at a Spiked nib BCG for my 10.5 SBR before I came across this vid, Now seeing this one thats almost $100 less I'm trying to compare the two and see why the spikes cost $100 more, I have no problem paying more for quality parts but I feel like I'm missing something between the two, having fired this one do you think it's on par with other more expensive BCG's?
How does this shoot with steel cased ammo? & what twist rate do you pefer for basic shooting? No high grain ammo
I love ur ending music. So chill, suits your channel so well.
Is this review of the $99.99 nib bcg or the $129.99 nib bcg v2 from aim? It looks like the higher priced one which should be mentioned in decription
Is these bcg chrome line? And if is not chrome line is it because of the material it is made of.
can someone tell me what stock hes running with the stars and stripes? is that the B5 ?
First I wanna say I love your channel I've learned so much from watching your videos. My question is what are the benefits if any to having a light weight bolt carrier group.
random question… shooting regular ol federal .223 I've been getting sort of brownish stains on my carrier and bolt. After cleaning them off and lubricating the bcg it functions just fine, however the stains seem to be still there, and I can't seem to be able to remove them… have you run into this at all?
Hey gunsngear, how do the Hera Arms mags perform? Any issues?
I like the naked babe decal on your mag! Where, and how much???
How has the bcg been holding up??
What are your thought on piston AR15s do you think they are worth the money or more reliable than DI. I am happy with the pro/cons of the 556 I live in city/rural area. I like to have the same calibers. Would you get an piston AR or build a traditional DI. I already have a fee ARs. So I might just get this BCG to help with the reliability. Piston systems I was looking at are POF P415 and Sig 556/516 what do you think of those?
Thanks for the info. I have been looking at bcg's for my dpms and now I am gonna get this one. Nothing wrong with the one I have I just want to get a better one and also to have a backup.
That's a good price.. Are there any benefits from some of the other higher priced nib bcg's out there. I'm looking at the materials used and most are made from the same material.. Aim compared to someone like Spikes etc…. I look forward to Ur content
Does AIM make these themselves? ( are they US made in other words )
Great vid, as always, really thinking of getting one of these!
Do you still recommend this bcg after all of your time with it?
How do you like that vortex? I'm between that and a Leupold VX-R
Bought one based on this review, thanks.
I ordered one last night…. And realized AIM is only about a half hour drive from my house!
mrgunsngear, would you trust this bcg in a home defense rifle paired with a bravo company barrel?
Keep up the good work!
Between PSA Premium, PSA NiB, or Aim NiB.. Which would you pick for a Dissipator AR 15?
I purchased one of these when you first came out with your video, but haven't used it yet. How's yours holding up?
Thanks for the review I've been looking at this BCG for an AR pistol seems to be a great choice at $129
My wife ordered this for me as a birthday present. She won't give it to me until Tuesday damn it!
Would do the frog lube (process of heating it up and applying it) to nib?. Or would you just use frog lube clp and lube it like any other nib bcg?
Why is the extractor black and not Nib?
Quick question: One rifle one BCG, Spikes Tactical Phosphate BCG or the Aim's NiB, which one would you choose? Thank you Sir.
Do you use go/no go or head spacing gauge before shooting?
What barrel is on the upper you're shooting?
Have you installed your 5.45×39 bolt in this? I just received my BA 5.45 bolt and it will not fit. I tried it in a Daniel Defense bolt carrier and it fit. I wonder if the coating on the inside brought the carrier out of spec…
O ring only really matter for carbine gas system. If you use good quality ammo, it doesn't matter.
It's confirmed $99 shipped
$99 right now on aim
nice "girlie mag"
I don't need one, but after your review I want one! Keep up the great work, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
