    Identify This BCG

    If anyone has seen a BCG like this before and know who makes it, please chime in. I am not 100% sure that the marking is a factory marking.

    If you look closely at the stakings you will see that only one stake point is actually contacting the screw head (screw on right side).

    I put little effort into turning it when it broke loose.

    I know you arent 100% but TC = Toolcraft of Marion, NC They make carriers for a bunch of companies and some artillery parts.

    ETA: At various times, Bushmaster, DPMS, FN MFG, Palmetto State from what I can find. As usual the QC exercised by the MFG is more important than who machined the part.

    I believe that Toolcraft marks theirs with a cage code on the side something like 1B10 or something.

    Its am EMC. Einstien machine co. Jk, looks like phi symbol. It also looks like it might have been vibro-etched as opposed to stamped. If it's a TC symbol that may indicate nonalloy tool steel.

    I've seen several TC marked carriers in DPMS rifles.

    My Toolcraft carrier has "1B1B6" cage code stamped on the side. Its staking looks good to go, compared to that.

    Well, that makes sense. Does the TC stand for "total crap"?

    At least I'm not the only one who thought about making that joke.

    @Iraqgunz- Is this one of the BCG's you were referencing to in the now 7-page "You can lead a horse to water, but..." thread?
