    Wilson Combat is selling a phosphate BCG with an MPI bolt for $98.00 right now. Personally, I prefer the phosphate finish because it is designed to hold lubricant on the surface. It's not fancy, but it serves a purpose.

    So, I would suggest checking out Aero Precision, Wilson Combat, or BCM. But for $98, you're not going to find a better deal than Wilson Combat.
    What's Aero's forging stamp?

    It looks like an A separated in the middle. I'll take some pictures, and post later.

    That's not Aero's forging mark.

    Aero does not make BCM receivers.

    Ok, so then explain to me why the upper I purchased directly from Aero Precision has the same marking as the BCM?

    I think you're confused about the manufacturing process.

    I have Aero Uppers with the key hole mark, which is Cerro Forge.

    There are only a handful of companies that produce the raw forgings that most all companies then do the finish machining on to produce a ready to assemble stripped lower. The mark you are describing is the forging company's mark, not who finish machined the forging.

    I've been running a PXT NIB BCG (lots of letters there, lol) for a 1000 rounds so far and its been great. Granted 1000 rounds is not a lot but the guys at Parallax have always put out a good product. Just my 2 cents. I'd give them a look.

    That's what I was getting to, they buy them raw and cut them to their specs in house. Just because an upper has the same forging marks doesn't mean its finished in the same quality.

    I bought a full auto nickel boron bcg from palmetto, looks and runs perfect. Was $119 with a free charging handle. Does what i need it to do, and very nice smooth look and quality to it.

    Ares Armor has NiB Bolt Carrier Groups for just $99.95. They are currently showing "Out Of Stock", but they replenish quickly. This is a very well made BCG, and you sure as hell can't beat the price! I always said most of this stuff is way overpriced for what it is. This proves it. Good price on a good BCG.

    I've only used BCM, but they've been top notch.

    During the next panic, I'm anxiously awaiting threads that go from "which BCG" to "Any BCG"

    Remember to stock up now boys... those $99 BCGs won't last forever... and grab a few BCM's while you're at it.
