I think the bcg rush is coming to an end as well. I'm seeing more and more dealers having it in stock, just like the used to be elusive pmags.

Personally I only use F/A BCGs, no reason not to.

Which dealer where??

I just want 1 LMT FA BCG.

F/A BCG as in M16 BCG?
If so, I got one coming in from G&R Tactical, and just got in on the LMT S/A from Ranier. That stock didn't last long, went out for @ 45 minutes and they were gone.
I wonder if I'll be able to tell a big difference in function or reliability between the two, can anyone elaborate?

The extra mass of the FA carrier allows the bolt to stay locked up a bit longer and supposedly aids extraction, thereby increasing reliability. I have a mixture of semi-auto and full-auto carriers in my rifles/carbines and I can't tell the difference unless I shoot them back-to-back and pay attention to the recoil impulse. Reliability has been the same regardless of the carrier type and I go through several high round count classes a year with them.

When I buy a new BCG, I typically buy FA carriers from BCM, LMT or Colt. However, I would feel just as confident using a semi-auto BCG from either of those companies if my life depended on it.

Thanks for the info, eases my mind...

i can think of a really relevant reason, right smack off the top of mine head: CANT FIND EM

i only use 16's also, but i stocked up for current builds before the obamanation. i actually even sold a couple, in a moment of selfless compassion.

these days, i'd probably snag a 15, just as a temporary, if i needed one.

Exactly. The hype to have to have a FA BCG because it is better is a bunch of BS. I think most of it is all in peoples heads and makes them feel better if they have an m16 bcg.
