    Looking for information / differences in bolt carriers.

    I'm in the market for a complete bolt carrier assembly for a future build. I am looking at the Daniel Defence complete carrier or the Bravo Company complete carrier.

    Any difference in these ?

    What would you guys go with?

    Thanks.

    I would go with the BCM. They are made and tested to USGI specs.

    Holding one of each in my hands,I can see little difference in the two.Specs are similar and both look to be high quality.So IMHO it would come down to best price and availability.
    G&R Tactical has the best price Ive seen on the Daniel Defense BCG.

    I have a friend who is looking to buy a BCG for a Colt lower with a receiver/sear block. Is the DD BCG a M16 FA BCG or an AR15 SA BCG?

    Brownells calls it an AR15-type, DD calls it a M16. Anyone know?

    (Also, is it possible to put any greater number of acronyms in a question?)

    ETA: Anyone know who is selling AR SA BCGs these days? The supply appears to have dried up.

    Yeap,the DD BC is a full mass style carrier.
    DSG Arms has the LMT AR15 BCG is stock for around $126.00.

    Unfortunately your friend is stuck using the Colt shaved BC (the one that looks like a C at the end) or a semi-auto BCG if he has the pinned in block in the lower. An M16 carrier will not clear the block.

    Some info on the sear block:

    I was thinking that the AR15 enhanced carriers would work with the Colt sear block lowers.Pretty sure that my brother has an enhanced AR15 carrier in his Colt with a sear blocked lower....will have to inquire further.
