mineralman55 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Received an email saying it's in the mail. Mine is due for delivery today or tomorrow. I'll get you a visual inspection report asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineralman55 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 It's afternoon now. A package was just delivered to me. A Shadow Ops NiB AR308 complete bolt carrier. This thing is gorgeous! You have to look hard to see any machining marks on it. I can see a machining "line" on the flat on top of the carrier, but my finger can't feel it. The machining inside the tunnel at the back seems a bit rough. The front of the gas key is nicely chamfered, and the key is staked. This is almost a work of art. I don't know what the dimensions are supposed to be, but I'll take it home and slip it into its upper, see if it likes its new home. I'll see if I can take some pics and post them. No promises.

Griz Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Just ordered one, even though there are no personal pics of anybody else's. Certainly can't beat the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mineralman55 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 :wwop: Had to do it brother. :hethan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll try and get some pics up tonight. Over on youtube.com check out "thewhitetigerknight". His 308AR build uses a Rainier BCG, and I strongly suspect that is the same source as the Shadow Ops BCG. It looks identical to mine right down to the minor machining marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I got a notice that my BCG shipped today . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yep, I think that mine will be waiting for me at the post office tomorrow. Got the label today saying that no one was here to sign. One of the FEW times that it's a bitch to live alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hay, cash back & a beautiful BCG , what more could you ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yep. I got the 2 bucks back with mine also. Didn't understand it.......but who am I to ask? The BCG looks pretty nice also. I can't wait to build out the BRO set that this is going into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisc308 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just out of curiosity, what barrels are you guys using with this BCG? And for those of you guys who already received them, have you checked the headspace yet? I'm planning to use a Rainier Arms Select 20" - Black or a MEGA 20" barrel. Just got a huge order of other parts in and need to find one of these in stock somewhere and I can finish out my build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I will probably be using a Fulton Armory, 18.5 " Med. WT. barrel. I have 16 HB & 20 "HB rifles with FA barrels already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guill732 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Picked up mine from the post office on Friday. Couldn't post about it til now since I was camping all weekend. The BCG looks GREAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineralman55 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was doing some research on 308 BCGs and ended up on Barfcom. There was a thread there (complete with excessive whining) about a bunch of their new 308 bolts having bad machining. The bearing surfaces were rough, machine marks were prevelant, pitting, etc. Anyway, I took out my Shadow Ops just to see if there was anything to complain about. Boy, is it smooth. Not just to look at but to touch as well. We really got a great supplier here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 ^^^^ I agree. I looked mine over when it came in. It looked fine. Nice machining. No extra ridges or valleys......that the eye could perceive. Now.....with that being said. I haven't even started gathering other parts for this build yet. So it'll be a while before I know if it goes "bang" reliably. But just from the visual impressions.......it looks like it'll be ok. More to follow (as it becomes available).

unforgiven Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 It looks so purdy I want one even if i don't have a rifle to put it on. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisc308 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 That's reassuring ^^^ I ordered one on 9/2 so my "18" days will be up tomorrow. Stills shows order processing on their site. I guess we'll find out tomorrow if they actually fulfill their 18 day shipping claim. How long did it take for you guys to get yours?

D.R.D. Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Anyone actually make one of these go bang yet? Especially in an SI Defense receiver? Looks like a great deal as long as performs... Btw, anybody running an SI Defense BCG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
