ATI imports a lot of Turkish stuff if i recall correctly, could be from Turkey.
Depends on the bolt, We make the complete body from solid bar stock, to a functional part on 8-Axis turn-mills. Bar goes in, done part comes out the other side. I need to keep the time to myself however. As far as how many suppliers..... a handful. To get back on topic, my point was that we could not in our shop make that part for that cheep. I know each shop is different, but it's just another data set to add to the conversation.

Many folks here think the ATI BCG is made in another country and that maybe true but unless PSA is playing word games with the description (As they have done in the past) the description states "Made in the USA", Now can they use this term legally if the Bolt and Carrier were just assembled (Not manufactured) here in the USA?
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.
If it makes you feel better I didn't read your post as being after some super trade secret. I also don't agree with the assumption you were after a "secret" or the resultant keyboard whipping. I tend to give folks the benefit of the doubt until they prove me wrong. Not everyone operates this way.
I suppose the assumption was that everyone has or should work in a machine shop and know with 100% certainty that this is a trade secret. -I and probably at least a few others have never and never will set foot in, let alone work in a machine shop.
A better way to respond to your post would be to point out that it might be considered a trade secret and the poster probably wouldn't be able to divulge that information. But, yet again, not everyone operates or see's things like I see them.

HKGuns, enlarging on your statement a little a little, I thought that redmist's reply was thoughtful, gracious and answered the question in the spirit it was asked, so kudos to him.
There's no way that BCG is built to spec but it really doesn't matter to me because I buy BCM. The only other BCG I have bought and would trust is Colt and FN but BCM is top of the food chain in my book.
