Current best deal on BCG?

[Leonidas24]

Is there something better than these right now? https://www.righttobear.com/ao-preci...aom16-hpt-mpi/
Looking to pick up for a back up carbine. Specs I like are the C158 bolt and the MPI/HPT inspection.
Thanks for any input.

AO bolts are solid, but the last complete BCG I bought from them had a really tight gas ring run in the carrier. It was destroying gas rings within 600 rounds.

DOH! That'll be my luck. (American Mediocrity strikes AGAIN!!)

Out of spec tight or in spec tight? Tighter is generally better than sloppy.

Great, I guess I'll find out.

I ordered one too. I guess we'll see. Though as a spare, it may never be used to be fair. I'm thinking that I'll see how tight it feels... Like that's any kind of real test. Though, I tend to doubt it'll have any problems as they have a very good reputation from what I've been able to find. I suppose everyone makes a lemon now and then.

Here's a SOTAR video of a physical on the AO Precision BCG:




ETA: If just you want his conclusions, go to the 19:15 mark.

Grabbed a couple myself! Darn, Military/Veteran discount but NOT on these items, but I'll keep that in mind for future items. I only have one extra BCG but I just put together a new upper so this is good timing I guess.

Just got my ship notice email. I'm going to shoot the heck out of it and note the bolt ring tension.
