What's the deal with BCG's?
I have looked all over the interwebs and can't find a quality BCG anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

Just sign up for the email notifications at your preferred vendors (if they offer it) for BCGs. I did that with Bravo Company for out of stock parts and I get an email as soon as they hit the shelves. The BCM ones go out of stock quickly though, but BC USA is good about restocking right now (Almost as though they're only putting "X" in at a time to keep from being out for a long time).

^^ what he said, email notification is key...
I just picked one up from BCM a few days ago that way, you gotta jump on it quick when you get the email notification.

Dealers and distributors have found the 3 main suppliers to be the choke point.

I'm amazed the run on BCG's. JoeBob Outfitters had 400 BCG's on election night and it took 19 hours for them to sell out. This isn't even a huge AR outfit.
Like it's been said before, I use the notification feature that most websites have and usually it works out for any product I'm looking for. Wait times of course vary from product to product.

I have put in for e-mail notifications from around 8 different suppliers. Maybe I'll hear something soon.
Maybe Joe Bob can "done save me some money" soon.

That makes sense. It's hard to find LMT, DD, or BCM groups. I'm not willing to shell out the money for a Fail Zero although they seem to be available.

I shouldn't have waited. It's for a new build and my budget wouldn't let me buy it until this month. Probably should have bought it first but wanted to get the lower out of the way. Guess I'll order the barrel this month. Not a problem.

This weekend at the big Tulsa gun show I saw several dealers that told me they had contract over runs from FN. They were going for $120.00 each, which I felt was pretty good at this time.
How would you know if they were FN?
