    basically they pulled a spikes type of deal.

    And then how they handled it afterwards was not good.
    Hmmm, blaming Spike's for raising the prices on their lowers... which were, at the time, being supplied by Aero Precision? Blame Aero, not Spike's.

    That being said, Aero produces good stuff, so say what you will about them. If you want to live in the past, that is your prerogative.

    Have anybody else mentioned that this thread is about Aero BCGs, not Aero business practice history?

    Specs look good, I'm not too worried about price. It's probably cheaper because they produce it in house and don't have to contract out. They have all the machinery to do so.

    Buy it and shoot it. If it doesn't break, you saved yourself some money. If it breaks, send it back. When you get a replacement, you can sell it and risk your next BCG breaking as well or you can shoot the new one and hope it holds up. You're risking that something may break whenever you buy it, regardless of what it is, even a Glock.

    AP seems like they'll take care of you if something goes wrong, and they're not a new company.

    Never said they didn't. I would love to support them since they are local, but when you act like that, there are to many others to shop from.

    Yep, I remember.

    Bottom line: Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

    I don't know if I would buy an entire rifle to satisfy my need for a single part/assembly. j/k I understand your point.

    If a company offers a product at a ridiculously high price, in most cases, you can go somewhere else for a comparable product with lower price. However, if "all boats rise" within an entire industry, then I guess we start asking if [insert brand name's] $130 BCG is the next BCM (et al). Good luck, ya'll!

    I can't speak for anyone else, but for fifty bucks more than the going rate for a complete DPMS BCG (or some of these other offerings), I'd like to have the "heart" of my rifle the best it can be. YMMV

    The bcg from Aero looks like the real deal and the equivalent of any quality mil-spec bcg. Unless they are falsely advertising this for a quick buck at the expense of everything they have built this far.

    The steel isn't MilSpec... They build good parts, but out of spec is out of spec.

    Waiting to see if IG chimes in on the metallurgy.

    I think it looks pretty awesome for the price. To clarify the website does state that the bolt itself it HP/MPI, Shot Peened, and Carpenter 158. The carrier itself is 8620 steel M16 pattern (full auto)
