98Z5V Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 We've had the pleasure of having D.Wilson Manufacturung here with us for several months now. Dave Wilson is a great guy, and quite responsive. In previous talks, he asked us what we needed, as far as field repair kits for the .308ARs, and several of us answered him with different versions of a field repair kit, with different contents. Literally, within hours, he had several different levels of field repair kits listed and priced on his website. THAT is responsiveness! :hail: I ordered and received a nitrided .308 complete bolt carrier group from him - received it fast, too. It's a very fine piece of work. All machining is perfect, the lightening flutes in the BCG body are a great touch, and the dual, nested extractor springs are a pretty damn smart idea. The firing pin retaining pin is the split-pin design, and not the cotterpin design. I disassembled and headspaced the bolt on 3 different DPMS-patterned barrels, and it headspaced perfectly on all three. Bottom line: this is one very high quality BCG, available at a very good price. Hit his website for the pricing information of the complete BCGs, but don't forget to look into the spare parts kits, either - all of them are badass. I will own several more of these BCGs, that's for sure. http://www.dwilsonmfg.com/ Overall shot of the side of the BCG: The business end of it: All broken down: Dual, nested extractor springs: At the time of this post, a complete nitrided BCG (including bolt) is $190. A NiB coated carrier body with nitrided bolt is $195. The complete NiB carrier body and NiB bolt is $200. You cannot get a better quality BCG combination anywhere else, and the prices are honestly quite low. Buy with confidence, no kidding in the least.

survivalshop Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 My Nitrated Bolt will be here Thursday , only thing keeping me from test firing my newest build . I have my test bolt (old DPMS ) in it for function testing & it head spaced OK , but I wanted a new one to break the Nitrated Criterion Barrel in & also testing the two Nitrated components together <thumbsup> On all three Bolts I have, the Extractor springs are nested springs . Two DPMS & one Shadow OPS , I think its a better idea than a rubber nipple or O-ring . <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'll have to check the shadow ops BCG that I have. I've never torn it down yet. But I also haven't begun the build that I bought it for. Now you've got me curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm with Rob , after checking out these Nitrated Parts , I getting a respect for the treatment on them . I will see today on how they clean up & wear . I remember I insulted the barrel maker here ,, many years ago on the Melonite barrels , wasn't meant to insult him , I just pointed out fact , that the process was too new & untried to say its the best thing since sliced bread & will make Chrome lining obsolete ( which it is , its an old process ), but that's the way he took it & I still have to test this Nitrated stuff to make a decision .

ChaseFan9 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 With Criterion's 16" rifle gassed barrels almost ready, I'mma need another BCG, and I'm pretty sure several others are/will be in the same boat. Hopefully a mod will show up soon and get something going.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm in for 2 more complete BCGs myself. I did the straight nitride already (and it rocks), so I'll mix it up on the next 2. I did the complete master rebuild kit when he first announced them, and it's gold. All my future BCGs and parts will be through DWilson.

jtallen83 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'll be looking at a 5.56 BCG next as well as a parts kit for my 308. That parts kit is a real bargain when compared to others! <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm in for another 308 BCG & a M16 type & as with 98 , I would like a NIB Carriers with Nitrated Bolts . I also need a Master parts kit . The Nitrated Bolt is surprisingly easy to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclemoak Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is there any chance we'll see a group buy one these? If someone can point me in the direction of setting one up, I'd be more than happy to. Otherwise I can set up a discount code for forum members that's good for a given period of time on my website.

beeks Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm guessing that Robocop1051 would be able to help you set something up. He set up a couple "pinned" topics in the "sales and coupons" section of this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
