Which BCG to use
Hello guys, quick question for you. I am looking to set up a couple weapons, not sure what to do.
I just got a BCM bcg in to compare, so now I have a question.
I have a bolt carrier marked 1b1b6 (Toolcraft). Bolt is marked MPI, carrier is non-chrome lined. It is a FA carrier.
I also have a S&W semi BCG, bolt marked MP. Chrome lined.
I am not sure what to do here. I know that the FA carrier is preferred, at least partially for the added weight. I weighed 4 BCGs,
The weights were:
LMT 327g
BCM 327g
S&W semi 318g
Toolcraft 320g
So I know the proper weight for a FA BCG is 327g - but which of these BCG's do I throw in the spares box, and which do I throw in an upper?
My first thought is the S&W Semi BCG is not really much less weight than the Toolcraft, and it is chrome lined so it will be easier to clean.

Sorry, left that thought incomplete. The BCM will go in a BCM upper. I was just able to use it, and the LMT, to compare these other two. One of which will go in another, backup/friend use gun, the other will be a spares bolt or get sold when I am able to pick up another known high quality BCG.

Given two carriers that are otherwise the same, I'd go with the heavier (non-neutered), but I wouldn't want a non chrome-lined carrier, myself. Of the two, I'd use the S&W.

Either the BCM or LMT. Both are top notch and good to go.

The BCM is going into a BCM upper I just received. The LMT is going back into my LMT.
I am asking which of the other two I should use in a backup/loaner rifle. The Toolcraft or the S&W.
