It's why I have a difficult time taking any of the scores of "deals" out there in the market seriously.
The only way I can know for sure that a carrier key is installed correctly is if I do it myself. That said, I have had excellent results with:
* Colt BCG's dating back to the early 1960's even.
* BCM BCG's and stripped carriers with key only
I personally have come to the conclusion long ago that I will only buy BCG's from trusted sources, and the list is way shorter than it was 5 years ago, while the market has expanded.
The companies with varying vendor sources that are all over the map need to be vetted with each purchase, and the only way to do that is break it down, which might be unnecessary if it was done right. There's just no way of knowing. This is where the company culture really comes into play, and there are some who simply hold themselves to an extremely high standard, while others focus more on volume sales.
This is where it pays off to be an informed customer, and why I like this site.
