Bang4Buck Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Never did research who Clint McKee was, did ya? I did. Fulton armory, right? From what I have read people seem to think the Fulton BCG is a DPMS BCG with fulton name on it. My AP may run just fine. Time will tell. All I know is when running searches I could not find any threads mentioning problems with aero products. DPMS is a whole different story. Nightmares everywhere with their stuff.

Robocop1051 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 Melonite/Nitride BCG if you have an anodized upper... If you plan ahead, NiB your complete upper assembly. I jumped into the NiB before it became popular. I had SI-D finish my entire upper (including the BCG and barrel extension). NiB can be put on aluminum or steel. Melonite can only be done to steel.
survivalshop Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 NIB BCG from this Company , the ones I have go from them are almost flawless ( but I didn't look at it at 4x power <laughs> ) http://www.shadowopsweaponry.com/default.aspx As far as DPMS , I don't think they make their own BCG's , they come from an outside source & DPMS is probably the largest 308AR producer out there , comparing them to a Company that only puts out a fraction of the components or rifles , is not really a fair comparison .

FaRKle! Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 PWS has a complete NIB Bolt for $93 and I think I saw a QPQ carrier for about $100 which might be the best of both worlds. I'm pretty sure that's only for AR-15's, not .308.

Christopher67 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 I have a question, should i worry about a forward assist compatible BCG or just get a BCG & IF it doesnt have the serations just plug the hole on my Aero Precision upper with a plug from ADCO?

It'll still be able to work against the shoulder between the front and rear halves of the carrier (but just that one spot lol). If you really want to replace it you can get one of those AR Gas Vents.
survivalshop Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 Wonder how that works shooting left hand . I guess where the port is pointing would make a deference I have a question, should i worry about a forward assist compatible BCG or just get a BCG & IF it doesnt have the serations just plug the hole on my Aero Precision upper with a plug from ADCO? Some one is making a 308AR BC with serration's for the FA , in the same area as an AR 15 . There is a thread on it around here some where. It may have been Aero . I've never used the FA on my 308AR , I have one with & one with out ,a FA. .

My mega Maten doesn't even have a forward assist. Many would say it is not necessary.
FaRKle! Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 KAK Industries also has a carrier with FA cutouts.

Is the gas vent really needed? Wouldn't the gases be vented out the ejection port anyhow? Thanks for the link. Edited November 26, 2014 by Christopher67

Thanks for the link.It also gets vented through the space around the charging handle back into your face. This is usually an issue with suppressed guns, but can happen with unsuppressed ones too (I've had it happen to me). It'll help with that.

mrrogers1 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 In case you guys are not on Aero's mailing list, the pre-order for their NiBor Complete BCG opened yesterday. The carrier is 8620 and bolt is 9310. Looks great and price is def right. :) http://goo.gl/GW9ZWp
98Z5V Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 I think we're all on their mailing list - good heads up, though.

BadBoyBilly Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) OK so I ended up buying a second BCG from Fulton armory for a future build. You can see from my earlier post the original one I got has the traditional cotter pin in it. The new BCG I got has a completely different pin in it. The best way to describe it is it has a flat button like face and sits deep inside the carrier. Never seen that style pin before. What's the pros/cons of it? Edited December 9, 2014 by BadBoyBilly
washguy Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 Badboy there really isnt any pros or cons....the pins either type do their job :) Wash
