So, all the "BCG's" that have come through here recently, are any of them any good? So many people quick to complain about anything that is inexpensive (a "deal"). Just curious which of the ones posted will hold up over time.

I bought the $79 nickel boron AR15 BCG from DurkinTactical and it looks legit. Gas keys are properly staked, locking lugs are sharp, firing pin floats freely and has good primer penetration. Not long ago I was paying double that for the same thing.

It will only take 4 months to get it.
I know they don't ship to Massganistan, but for the free staters or guys with friends in those places especially if you're a southpaw
Flash Sale - STAG SALES
Stag Arms has specialized in the development of AR15 rifles since it was first founded in 2003.www.stagarms.com
Stag won't even ship parts to MA.
But Rock River had the whole supporting gun control in Illinois fiasco with the faux Springfield Armory a while back. I wouldn't deal with either.
so. I’m willing to wait to have a quality product. Shit a form 4 takes 9+ months nowadays.
RRA quality / price blows away most other manufacturers. Who is in a hurry for an upper. Not me.
and this other nonsense about RRA and IL gun control. Who cares at this point. Old news. Illinois is already trashed with anti laws. The list of shady businesses is very long and for those stuck in MA beggars cannot be choosers.
Complete upper with mid length gas upper, pinned FSB, chrome lined barrel for $540 shipped.…yeah count me in
Elite CAR A4 Upper Half
Rock River Arms, Inc. offers a complete line of American made, custom built AR15 style rifles.
my CAR A4 upper has something around 6k rounds including the past 1k suppressed. Borescope shows solid rifling and only trace gas port erosion. In fairness I had to change the extractor spring to improve ejection pattern, but that’s more a function of running suppressed than anything else.

You are entitled to your opinion and your likes. Id rather pay 200 more and get a bcm in quick fashion.so. I’m willing to wait to have a quality product. Shit a form 4 takes 9+ months nowadays.

200 more? BCM makes decent uppers but their prices are high for the quality and their CS is nonexistent. they also do not ship to MA which is Shit policy that I try not to support. In 2012 BCM was worth the price tag but the industry standards have progressed. I run several BCM rifles including suppressed. Very happy with them but their only unique product is the handguard. for the price tag the gas blocks should be pinned, but they’re not. There are also many reports of their barrels lasting only a few k rounds before the throat being toast and needing replacement.

I don’t know, it seems to me that the 24mm objective on just about any scope will be a limiting factor. IMO, anything over 1-8 should just go with a bigger objective and go with an RMR (or similar) piggybacked at 45 degrees. If you want me to take a 10x scope seriously, you gotta offer some FOV, which you’re not going to get sufficiently of to be useful in any situation but range time.i say - try it, and return it if it will not be good enough for what you want.
1-10x scopes are still rare and in between. 1-8x are more common now, you can also look at comparable ones:
Primary Arms SLx 1-8x24 FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated ACSS Raptor Reticle - 5.56 / 5.45 / .308
This Primary Arms rifle scope is part of the SLx optics line.www.primaryarms.comPrimary Arms Rifle Scopes

The Trijicon Credo® 1-8x28 tactical riflescope gives you rapid target engagement and long-range precision from the same riflescope.www.trijicon.com
it really would be great to look at them at some store - as you will see how prices differ compared to what glass diff you actually can see/detect visually.
i do not think any of current 1-10x LPVO scopes were intended for anything other than to be used at fun range time or a 3gun competition.
as of 24mm objective - it keep the scope weight down, which is also a big factor.
all i can say - comparing 1-6x with 1-10x the diff is huge and it makes precise shooting up to 200yds very doable. to see and hit the bullseye of a target at 200yds with 6x is not quite simple.

I have one, but haven't installed it yet. I did a fair amount of research on it before I bought it, and it seemed to get very good reviews. I hope to get mine installed within the next week or so.

Used TAN Litefighter 1 Individual Shelter Tent | eBay
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ebay has the Litefighter 1 tent (UPDATE: 0 available at this time) in TAN for a very low $189.99 +tax (normally priced at $334)
Seller says they are "New-Unused"...
Great price on a very lightweight 3-season military tent.

@djbradles What were these going for a year or so ago? Didn't you pick one of these up?
cheapest I’ve ever seen them was $450. They were usually $500. However even at $550 they’re a solid value considering its a complete short stroke piston upper. An even better value is a complete PWS Mk116 pro upper for $800. Those are available and probably the finest stoner rifle upper in piston format.

in past year ive been corrupted into a PWS whore. These guys really innovate rather than 99% of the industry that slaps new logos and marketing hype on the same old crap. The guys who answer the phone at PWS are also helpful and cool. A big plus.
if you’re eyeing the wolf A1 upper I think you’ll be happy with it.

Console Vault is having a 20% off anniversary sale. Use code CV20YEAR. I have one in both my F350 and my Subaru Ascent, great place to store you gun when you need to go to the Post Office.
You also reminded me I gotta do that build. It’s a very nice looking gun with the iron sights, gi mags, ctr stock, and magpul grips.
Sad commentary that 8¢/round gets posted as a deal. I still have a couple of Federal Champion 525 round bricks with Four Seasons price stickers at $17.95 each.
Remember when Rock River shit on gun owners in Illinois when it hired a lobbiest and funneled money to anti gun politicians? Cuz Pepperidge Farm does...
