Is there a reason why Monty’s BCGs are so inexpensive compared to other manufacturers? I can’t believe I am seeing them go for $125. Picked up a couple just because they were there... Is the mainstream AR community not clued in?

I think there might be several reasons.
One might be that Centurion Arms is not as well-established in the market as those they see as competitors and they are trying to compete on price to get market share.
Another might simply be that $125.00 is seen as the price which gives them what they consider a fair profit.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
IIRC both Noveske and Centurion feel that HP proof round is detrimental and that there are other ways to maintain good QC.
So, you just bought a couple of their bcgs, and didn't even read the specs?

Not marked HP, but bolt face does have fired markings.

The Centurion Arms C4 Bolt Carrier Group features an M16 profile and is full auto tested to ensure a lifetime of reliability. The bolt head is machined from Carpenter 158 steel and is magnetic particle inspected. The face of the bolt has been shot peened to disrupt the flat surface on a microscopic level to increase strength for dealing with the high pressures of 5.56 ammo. The tool steel extractor is made to withstand thousands and thousands of rounds without breaking. The internals of the carrier and gas key are chrome lined to prevent erosion of the steel from hot expanding gasses. The gas key is attached with grade 8 screws and staked to prevent them from walking out.

Between Geissele BCG's and Monte's (Centurion), there's really no reason to look elsewhere. They're both damn good, top shelf stuff, and the prices on them just makes it icing on the cake.
