BCG relacement ?

[graysoncountytexas]

Can I just swap out? Really that simple?

I have a BM, hope to soon own a CD - I was wanting to get a few spare parts and figured it would just be easiest to order a complete BCG and keep it handy.

Simple, right?

Yup, you can just swap em out. I'd stick with the full auto BCG's from Bravo Company or LMT. I bought 2 Bravo company FA BCG's as back ups. Very high quality!

nice. souded simple, I am glad it is.

why go full auto? what is the difference?

what brand from bravocompany?
(edit: duh, I guess BCM is bravo company?)

thanks!

Grayson,

BCM is indeed Bravo Company and is run by Paul Buffoni, a former Marine and one of the best guys and straight shooters you'd ever want to deal with.

The FA BCG is preferred as it fully shrouds the firing pin (which the standard one doesn't) and it's extra weight tends to soften the recoil cycle a bit.

thanks Wayne!
I will order from Bravocompany as I enjoy spenging $ that goes to stand-up and reputable people!

That's what I've been wanting to know all this time but forgot to ask.

Our own Grant of G&R also is a BCM dealer.

You should not have any headspace issues with putting a new bolt in a used barrel. Since the locking lugs wear both ways, headspace should be slightly tighter with a new bolt. Problems arise when you couple a used bolt with a different used barrel, because wear patterns won't be identical.

Sorry, I have to disagree. If you are swapping bolts between uppers whether they are new or used you should be checking the headspace. Of course, I repair and inspect weapons to the TM or OEM standard so maybe it's just me.

We are talking about a gauge that is not Unobtanium and fairly cheap. To me it just makes good sense.

Checking the headspace is just cheap insurance. It should not be an issue with a new bolt, but it takes a minute so there is no harm.
