Opinions on this BCG

[rhollister71]

That's a little pricey compared to others on the market. For an extra $26 you could have gotten a fail zero

For knee jerk reasons I acquired this PSA premium BCG that I dont need but rather than return it I think its better than what I got.

Just curious what everyones opinion is on this BCG? Is it a keeper?

I own several of those BCGs, and they have always been reliable for at least 2,000 rounds. I always rebuild my bolts around 2,000 rounds. I've heard that Toolcraft and Microbest make those for PSA. I say it's a keeper.

I have never had an actual BCG failure despite all the talk of that. The Bolt would be the part to fail if anything, yours seems to be up to speed. I would keep it

For $110 I wouldn't be crazy about the deal.
Just doing a quick search I found an Aero BCG for $70 from Battlehawk.
Didn't check shipping.

Battlehawk armory always has great prices they're my go to online shop. I've bought 3 firearms from them in the past month because the prices were too good to pass up. They also go above and beyond to help when you have any issues. I bought an AK from them back in August and had it transferred to the local shop I always used and they had gone out of business without warning because the building they rented was sold so my rifle had to be shipped back to battlehawk. The guys got me set up with a different ffl to handle my transfer and got it shipped back overnight the same day they received it. Absolutely nothing but praise for the battlehawk crew.

I run toolcraft DLC BCG that I got on sale for my competition ar. 3 seasons in with minimal wear. Definitely worth keeping an for deals. Picked mine up for $129 shipped
