C-158 is the Mil spec steel to make that part in. a bolt made from that will hold up much longer and be much less prone to cracking or failing.
    Here is a link to the site that I got my BCG from.

    I understand the frustration, my experience is that there isn't a single thread or quick and easy was to find all the right technical information.
    Understanding why parts are not equal is a learning curve and have many small details that might nog be obvious.

    I'd call it skill to know and most importantly, understand the difference. Any skill takes time to acquire.

    Altough you have limited time on the computer I would suggest using that time as efficient as possible. For example, decide which part you want to learn more about and focus on that part until you are satisfied you have a good enough knowledge base to select the part that you need. Then move on to the next part.

    I know all aboiut being deployed and having limited access to a computer, but the time invested will save you of frustration later.

    It is a common occurence on any forum that a new guy pops in and want all the right answers in a tiny basket, right now
    All, most, forums have loads of experience, knowledge and opinions, for the more knowledgable members that have spent years of learning and sharing through the board it becomes quite tiresome and not too interesting to repeat it again and again, thus the annoying advise to search the forum.

    As you are still deployed and can't assemble it just yet, use that time to think it through and search tve forums.
    I'm quite sure you'll be happy for doing so.

    Best of luck with your build!

    Am I the only one that is getting frustrated listening to this guy wanting to be spoon fed. The advice has been given, now research the parts or run what you got...

    Makes sense. If I am coming across as wanting all the right answers right now in a tiny little basket, I apologized for that. That is not what I am wanting. I am wanting information that will show me the best parts to use that will last with actual backing to it other than just "I think its a waste of time" or "I prefer this over that because it (insert brand here)" If that is what is the right information, then yes. That is what I am asking for.

    Spoon fed? Not quite. Advice to a personal preference is all that I have seen with no legitimate backing to it. I have researched the parts that I have already listed and they have all received good reviews. Now if someone points out with factual information why those parts are indeed crap then I will appreciate that and you will have in fact taught me something. If you are getting frustrated by this then I advise you to move along and don't read this thread anymore.

    Having done research-librarian work, rooting around for truly ancient stuff written in Assyrian, Aremaic, Old Church Slavonic, Attic Greek, etc., statements like "there's no quick and easy way" applied to specifically-set-aside technical info on an internet site are wildly inaccurate and lacking in scope.

    Here's what "no quick and easy way" looks like, just for starters: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=7009

    THAT'S technical info.

    What there isn't is a unified thread that provides an over/under or rating system on the myriad manufacturers or vendors of any given part, parts, groups, assemblies, modules, and on and on and on and on. Nor will there be, because the idea is preposterous at the conceptual level.

    That's not meant to read as a *tut-tut* lecture, or as an admonishment, or as discouraging...but it's just an objective fact that every single bolded part on that list could be punched into the orange Search button at the top of the page and result in several pages of 20+ hits. Starting no less than 4 pages back and reading forward from that....not just skimming thread titles (except to eliminate ones with indicators that they don't apply, or repeat hits from the same thread; that just makes sense).

    If you're not doing that, and the question being asked is like this one (i.e., very broad and unfocused)....then yeah, one is asking to be spoon-fed. Do the reading, narrow your field of inquiry, ask a focused question, try to do it in an existing thread (it's only necro-posting in an old thread if the post is topically worthless).

    These "please rate my list of parts" threads are most often not actually looking for advice or knowledge, but validation, and it's rare in the extreme for them to be genuinely instructive for anybody.

    Tripod, you might want to take a moment and think about letting the staff moderate threads. Jumping aboard somebody else's turf and starting to issue edicts to folks that are feeding you good gouge on how to proceed isn't gonna be the success story you're kidding yourself it'll be. Nobody here registered to you, you registered here. Please try to bear the difference between those two conditions in mind inthe future.
