Btw, anybody running an SI Defense BCG?

 

I have a SI-D .308 with the NiB upper receiver and NiB BCG. It shoots GREAT. Several guys here can contest to it. I've been shooting it for over a year now, and have yet to oil or clean it. The NiB coating is holding true to its reputation.

Ordered one of these a few days ago.  Good to hear that folks are having good luck with them - at that price I was a little worried.  Just waiting for the shipping... :(

sorry to resurrect an old thread... but got a question for the guys that bought this BCG. (I did too)

Did you headspace the bolt to your barrel? Reason I am asking is I finally got my new upper/lower set (Devil Dog Arms) to rebuild my .308 (going to replace all the stock Bushmaster parts and sell it) and I went to headspace it last night and in the process bent 2 roll pin punches (1/16") trying to remove the ejector. What really bugs me is that I bought the Manson gauges, that advertise a cutout so that you don't have to remove the ejector. Well, guess what...you do. The cutout is not big enough, both on the .223 and the .308 version.

Anyways... anyone have an issue with the roll pin? It's not my first ejector removal, but damn it sure felt like it was! Not sure if my punches jut weren't up the the task of a quality component, but we'll find out soon. Bought a new set and just waiting for delivery. But curious if anyone has removed it, and if there were any issues? Is it just a really tight fit? I've had some that came out hard, but never have I bent a punch. I'll have to wait until I get the new punches so I have time to ask these dumb question... ::)

  I removed mine for Head Spacing with out a problem . 

 

  Did you try both ends of the pin ? It is a small pin & small punch to remove it , so it would be easy to bend a tool . Its also easy to cover the opposite hole to keep the pin from moving , even with a good pin block .

I did... both ends, and three 1/16" punches (all now bent). There was a large enough open area under it so nothing was keeping it from coming out.

I did find another QUALITY punch (seekins) in my kit this afternoon and worked it worked it worked it until I actually did get it to come loose. MAN was it tight! Looks like I ned to upgrade my punch set to better steel... good news is the bolt headspaced with no issues.

Good to hear . Makes one wonder if that pin hole is with in spec's or someone used loc tite on it .

not sure. I have not assembled it back yet... going to wait for my new punches to arrive before I attempt it. But I'm curious if it's as tight going in as it was out.

What if I said I knew of a code that took 15 bucks off? ;)

I'd say that figures. Every time I buy something it WILL go on sale within a few months.

Stay away from Arms Unlimited. They're a shady retailer. They got caught selling fake Raddlock bullet buttons and fake Rainier Raptor charging handles. I got swindled buying one of their fake Raddlocks and was wondering to myself why everybody thought they were so good because mine sucked until I found out I got a fake.

You're liking that real Raddlock now though!
