Spot on.
Years ago I went back and forth in PM with a now deceased member here who I was very fond of. Some of us have patches with his name and screen name on them. He was strongly considering leaving the site, following the angry fists of Stalin era that some of us remember.
He made it is mission to step in to keep members from cleating each other and to maintain a collegial and respectful tone, no matter what the subject was.
I do think that when you have members attempting to decipher conflicting information, and now that our understanding of what means what is so far beyond the old chart days, it would behoove us to do better.
Not directing that at anyone in particular, especially not Serious Student above me whom I believe shares many qualities with AC, and is very much a healthy and positive influence on discourse here.
Perhaps it’s just time for someone to compile known and good information on what is what again and place it in a format that is easy to understand and decipher.
I might do it if I can snag a few hints from folks on what all to include, and what is conjecture vs. known fact.
There is no doubt that Geissele is making some of the LPK's (maybe all of them) in house. They would have to because of their special features. I would be shocked to learn they are doing BCG's in house because it isn't usually cost effective when you have to major manufacturers supplying a large majority of BCG's to the market.
ALG triggers are made for them by a company in Illinois. You can check this simply by looking for the two S's within a square. Which you will also see on Colt and FN MILSPEC rifles and many others.

I thought its been mostly a civil exchange. As far as correcting some of the miss-information that won't happen in regards to who's manufacturing who's barrels, uppers, lowers, BCG's LPK's etc. The big name brands don't want folks (competitors) finding out. Hence all the NDA's. Now open source facts might be worth compiling because searching through old threads that are chalked full of speculation and opinions is very time consuming and can end up being a colossal waste.
Any opinions on the Ballistic Advantage DLC BCG? Do any of you have any experience with it or any other DLC BCG?

Best advice I've gotten here or anywhere was buy quality, buy once, cry once. Go with a proven performer anyone? As a result my experience with BCGs is BCM and Colt. All the other parts and assemblies on my ARs are restrained to Colt, LMT, BCM and Aimpoint. Others may used with success other lessor or well known brands but these have never let me down. If I have to wait a little longer to save up for something then so be it.
Cokeman,
I have used Ballistic Advantage and Aero Precision BCG's in most of my builds. I have several Nickel Boron and one BA with DLC. Most of us are never going to wear out our BCG. Those coatings do have built in lubrication but you should still use lubricant. The biggest advantage that I have noticed is with ease of cleaning.
