What differentiates the BCG's in the first tier at a $60 - $70 price point (vs the Anderson) is that the engineering specs for the bolt's manufacture were all known/clearly listed.

Like I said--I hadn't seen bolts that cheap from known good manufacturers (repeat: from known good manufacturers) since the Remington bankruptcy/ensuing parts glut.

Sources in the firearms industry have been commenting that the market has reached a saturation point.

Hopefully excess inventories will pile up, and prices for parts will soften across the board.

I personally don't believe in buying cheap parts from unknown manufacturers. There is no point. I buy good parts from known-good manufacturers opportunistically when they are on sale.

I think there will be more buying opportunities coming up--provided that the war in Ukraine doesn't go hot enough to involve NATO shooters.
