About week ago when I brought lowers from a FFL that I love for buying lowers and transfers. I asked if he had any BCG with shot-peened 158CM HPT/MPI bolt, he said "I dont but I have BCG that you can have". He sure did made my day! Sure I internally recoiled when I saw the condition of the carrier, it looked like it might have saw a flooding. He came out of the back with just the bolt and carrier then he completed it(bolt itself is already complete) using his parts drawer thereby the cam pin, firing pin, and firing pin retainer are not in consideration for identifying the BCG. The guy's more of a seller for lower end kinds of stuff like Anderson and PSA which might help in identifying this BCG as it is fairly unlikely for it to be anything higher end. But there are distinct features on the bolt that I believe would result in this bolt successfully identified by you guys. Like the faint groove which I point out in the picture also the scallop behind the bolt lugs which is behind every single lug without a miss. Also, the machining on the bolt is beautifully fine and well done. The ejector is very beveled which is another distinction that might help to solve the mystery. The extractor has o-ring and insert. The carrier underside is finely machined also the gas key is aggressively staked also note on the rear screw you can see how knurling on it is very deep, unlike some shoddy faint knurling I have seen on many cheap allen screws. However, I'm irked by the visible grain of steel on both sides of the carrier which is also distinct itself, also, of course, the lack of marking on the bolt.

(I wanted to have the photos large displayed in this post, how do I do that? I have tried attaching but it does not look like other post I have seen here.)
