Toolcraft actually makes PSA’s and many other’s BCGs. Exceptional quality without the snob price.
Got mine!
I think it’s the other way around , PSA is OEM
For Toolcraft, I may be wrong.
@@juanvaldez5422 PSA basic BCGs are made in house. PSA premiums are made by Toolcraft
@@Robert-goose1 The carriers yes , the bolts not so much
I’ve used a PSA NB BCG in my 3 gun rifle and never had an issue with it in 5,000 rounds. LOVE’EM!!!
How's that PSA bcg doing now?
Also wondering the same thing.
@@Gonzo.S.Thompson I have around 15k rounds through my original build, zero issues so far, first 500 rounds went through completely unlubed as a test, yet again no issues
@@madison69 sounds good. Thank you for the update.
I don’t always agree with James Yeager. But he made a great point in a video. He has two bolts for every rifle. A training bolt to run the miles up on. And then a bolt that he puts back in after. Couple quick test fires and you have a low mileage bolt in case it’s needed. You could do the same for your 3 gun rifle. Train with one and switch to a fresh bolt for the competition. With most companies charging more than $90 for just a bolt. Why not get the whole carrier group too for that price. Good stuff as always man.
Thats a good idea! Never thought about that lol
This sounds rediculous
Man, like minded people!! I got a PSA NB and its sweet!! always good to have an extra bolt or two. The heart and soul of AR-15
No sweet is Cryptic Coatings, Black, has the highest lubricity of any coating or treatment out there , a true no lube needed BCG....
Gary johns ok congrats on having money
Heart and souls of an ar is the barrel. The bcg is like the circulatory system. Js 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve had one from Palmetto and it’s never gave me a problem. It runs smooth and zero issues. Love em!!!
I have one from a few years ago and got another two recently for builds. Their latest are much more refined and beautifully machined. I polish them like a mirror and it makes cleaning so much easier
I have one of these in my BCM, it runs great. No complaint here.
I have Ben shooting for over 35 years and I never new they came apart like you show I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks thanks again.
I bought one of these BCG's from PSA around this time and the only issue I had was that the gas rings were either out of spec or they got coated along with the bolt because they were too big and would cause malfunctions every 3rd shot. A new $3 set of gas rings later and I was good to go. No issues after that, and was a dream to clean.
Just got this same one also haven’t ran it yet I have a 5 inch ar pistol hopefully it runs smooth
Looks good man
I’ve got one of those in my 10.5” AR pistol and it’s perfect. I’ve put several hundred rounds through it and that gun has the smoothest action of any AR I’ve handled. I also have one of their NIB Bcg’s with the 9310 bolt and its nice but not nearly as smooth as the one with the carpenter 158.
Are you planning on doing a follow up review on the PSA nickel boran bcg? I’m indecisive on an aero precision Nib bcg vs PSA premium
Derrick Forest let me know what you chose and how it went, currently stuck between those two as well,
Aeros bolt is made from a stronger material .Just the bolt. I have both there both slick as f...
I put 150 rounds through a brand spanking new and lubed PSA NB BCG today and it was flawless. The cleanup was also a breeze. Heck I liked the price so much I may buy a spare one !
As a new subscriber I have to say that you make great videos. You tell it how it is with no B.S.! I just received a complex lower by PSA and plan on building an upper. This video is just what I needed today!!!
👍🏼 I grabbed one on that special as well! Carry on
I definitely appreciate it . I really appreciate the reply. You’re one of my favorite go- to’s for firearms here on CZcams and I definitely support all that you’re doing to defend our rights gun rights as well brother . I’ll be on the lookout for the follow up .
Bought the Nitrited BCG, put in my .300 BLK Out pistol. Took it to the range and slapped in a mag and on the last 3 rounds the bolt went into battery but the round didn't go off. What did happen was it was locked up tight and I couldn't pull back on charging handle and the trigger was stuck. It did that 3 times in a row, and I hand to bounce the stock on the table while pulling on the charging handle. When I got home I took the BCG apart and what I found was a broken extractor spring. I put a BCM heavy duty spring and washer in it. Waiting to go back out to the range and test it out.
I have been using one of these for over a year with no issues. I like how it cleans up easy.
Just bought one of these bolts happy to see it appears to be in great shape I got it on sale for 67$ on PSA with 10 Pmags
Got one a year ago for a 300 Blackout build...looks great, runs FLAWLESSLY.
I've put about 100 rounds through mine. That session involved 1 magazine dump with echo trigger. The gas rings are blown. Well, the carrier won't standup on the bolt, it collapses. It still functions as I didn't realize it until I cleaned it a couple of weeks later.
Just got one myself! It's an AR Stoner from Midwayusa. Looks exactly like that. Can't wait to shoot it. It's going in my 300 Blackout build.
I own 5 Nickel Boron Bolt carrier groups from Aero Precision it's going to be very difficult for me to take a chance on this BCG but after watching your video and many others I'm going to take a chance for the next build that I have going on, like you said 89 bucks and free shipping taking a leap of faith the next time they come on sale. Thanks for a great review!
JerrBear Tactical Both are made by Toolcraft. Same, same.
Travis Dude I'm going to have to take your word for that because Aero Precision will not tell me where or who makes there bcg's ...... Thanks for the insight and the heads up.
JerrBear Tactical And they won't. Toolcraft makes a lot for OEM's. They are pretty decent. I like Microbest better. You can find Toolcraft for cheaper if you look around. Instead of buying from a OEM. Toolcraft doesn't make their own bolts. There is no cage for the bolt from the .Gov or .Mil. Just for the carrier. Microbest makes all the bcg's for Colt and replacements for the gubment. Toolcraft was awarded a 750k one off contract during the GWOT.
Travis Dude well even though I purchased all of my bcg's for Aero Precision I never paid their full price I'll be God damned if I'm going to pay $175 for something I know I can get for around a hundred and a quarter ! Lol I do truly appreciate the insight and education on the BCG INFO. And I'll definitely check out and research that other manufacturer ..... Thanks again 😁
JerrBear Tactical I'm a fan of Microbest. But they only sell to OEM's. My favorite is Sionics the staking is impeccable. A phosphated carrier you can get for $99.00 on one of their sales. They also sell a NP3 carrier. NP3 kicks the shit out of NiB. Sionics also uses the Sprinco 5 coil extractor spring and insert. No O-ring, not needed.
Love this BCG. I use them in most of my AR's. Easy to clean and you can't beat the price. I own five of them.
Just had my Anderson 5.56 bolt shear at the cam after only 1k rounds, glad I ordered one of these.
Love mine. Currently 500+ rounds no problems and cleans well 🇺🇸🤠👍🏼
I have one of these as a back up also for my colt/midwest/FN custom build.
Bought one and tried it out today. Smooth, very smooth
I've got over 3000rds passed mine and no problems. I keep mine lubed, cleans easy and still looks new.
I picked this up as a back up bcg and it came with 10 30rnd mags for only 150. You can’t beat that.
Same, got another one coming. This one will be my primary and the original phosphate one will be my backup.
I've seen em as low as $59.99
I'm waiting for that shockwave on sale with 5 AR lowers.
Thanks for doing a video on one of these. I'm probably gonna get one now. Thanks for all you do, love the channel.
I just bought one of their $70 bolts. No problems. Tight when I first got it. Working fine now after some use.
I just purchased a set of lowers in the AR-15 & AR-10 with matching serial numbers from palmetto. Nice
Just bought one, feeling better now after reading a few older reviews that weren't so favorable. Had a BA phosphate bcg and BA barrel from optics planet on backorder and it updated to ship this time next year haha. Got the same barrel, this BCG and saved almost $50 from Palmetto.
Got mine about a year ago my first aftermarket BCG runs flawlessly and looks amazing still in 2022 about 200+ rounds runs great and I’m no pro I just rapid fire at the range mostly to see if it will keep up wit my Draco
Added PSA GI Park BCG to my AR build. Great quality for the $$.
NB is a short-lived coating on the bearing surfaces,,, just fine on the none wear surfaces, but stains from powders ! if you want a good tuff coating Go with TiN coating but ya gotta put up with the gold color !
Just got a lantac e-bcg. Waiting til Friday when my rail and charging handle come to build the upper
I run these in all my builds now. Nice BCG for hundred bucks. God bless America!
I had so much issues with mine.. had to replace the o-ring, new gas rings since it couldn't cycle properly, get an extended firing pin cause it would barely tap the primer... and still have issues...what can I say $100 is $100 I learned not to cheap out on these types of things get yourself a Daniel Defense or Aero precision
I order 2 for our Radical Firearms 7.5 in pistols,(me&my wifes) and im very happy even though i haven't been able to shoot it yet.
Gas key bolts backed out on me after 300 rounds on the PSA Nibx bolt. Had to end up replacing the whole gas key with a bravo. No problems in over 2000 rounds since then.
Yo they always run this deal so if u r seeing this video late keep looking on their website periodically you'll get a great buy
welp not anymore.
@@carlosslim7305 Why u say that
@@Dmoney-hz8qk Prices have sky rocketed. Have u not been out of your house lately ? and they won't go down anytime soon. this video was from 2 years ago which everything is not the same as far as firearms market.
@@carlosslim7305 no I haven't, I bought enough receivers and bcg's for 10 builds as soon as Trump was elected. I saw some sort of civil unrest coming. Plus I knew the pendulum would swing back to thr left after him and they want to ban the AR platform, sooooo. Hence my disconnect on yhe info. Thanks to Trump's failure, I'm 20000 rouds ahead in a shortage.
@@Dmoney-hz8qk You sir are well prepared. Were out here getting robbed for regular items now.
Think I need to get one for my current build as well!! Great vid!
I bought one for an upper i bought that didn't have a BCG and now i am going to replace my "premium BCG" from PSA with a PSA NiB one. I feel like it runs smoother and is easier to clean. I wasn't wild about the staking job on the "premium" one that came with a pistol kit, so thats enough reason for me to switch it out.
Toolcraft probably made the BCG for PSA.
If you get a chance could we get an update on how many rounds it's lasted?
I couldn't justify $250+ for a different bcg on my blackout SBR. And a thousand some five star reviews was good enough for me.
I love them most carriers are 9310 now get the 158 carpenter and save yourself some headache. I want a NB bolt but have always liked the nitride bolts. It's a little flashy in my mind. If I was given one I would not turn it down. I just prefer the premium nitride bolts.
I've been using Aim Surplus, St Criox Tactical and Toolcraft. I had an issue with one... It wasn't the Bolt. For some reason the sand cut bcg would not cycle correctly in my 223 pistol. Swapped into my Stag and they both run Perfect.
I've found PSA to be a great BCG, but for the price and overall quality I've started using Spikes Tactical nickel boron BCG. I'd still choose PSA over many high end NB BCG's.
Spike's and PSA BCGs are both manufactured by Toolcraft.
I have their standard BCG and I had the extractor pin break on me, fortunately not in use but when cleaning it I found it cracked in half. PSA was good with the warranty, hopefully you'll have better luck.
This is in my 10.5” Blackout pistol, along with an Armaspec SRS. Looks and runs nice!
Thats my goto bcg. But I have noticed assembly guality has gone down especially the staking on the post 2020 ones I have bought
Nice extras...Seems like it will find a home and another carrier will be your spare...Good stuff...
I've got an SAA nickel boron enhanced bcg that's run well. I'm not a 3 gunner though can't speak to running hard but it's still strong. Yeah i ran it dry a couple times to see how it ran. It ran lol. I DO oil it up though. Doesn't need much which is nice. I wanted it to be ABLE to run dry if i had to but never run them dry outside testing.
Since I'm broke i got into higher powered airguns to shoot in between. Nothing I'd train for speed on but they're good fun and my 25cal break barrel has taken fox squirrel at 100yds with no scope standing freehand.
I think they're awesome for precision shooters, especially pcps but yeah that at least takes care of the itch when i can't hit the range. I also used a psa lower on that build. Things never hiccupped,farted or needed a huggy but again i don't run hard. Yes i ALWAYS have a full bcg in my bag ready with my AR. Agreed, even at my level.
I have one of these. It's been working great so far (approx. 500 rounds)
I have been wanting one of these for a while now.
Will have to check one of these out. I have eyed them before, but just was not sure.
Have had one forever it seems. Flawless as long as i’ve had it!
I believe the premium PSA bcg's are actually toolcraft just branded PSA. Could be wrong. Either way both Toolcraft and PSA premium BCG's are gtg from all reports. I have a standard mil-spec toolcraft BCG that has run flawless with zero issues at all. Military uses em so they gotta be somewhat durable you'd think.
Been running a NiB bcg for about 700 rounds now (different brand though) and its great. I still lube mine but it dang sure makes it easy to clean and looks great too.
Never hurts to have an extra AR bolt handy, especially this PSA NB offering! At the price they are lately, why not buy a few!? MHO.
I have 2 of thos BCG, I like them. No issues what so ever.
Nickel boron is the way to go. Gonna pickup one for sure.
PSA’s Premium and NiB BCGs are made by ToolCraft.
Nib like new in box? 2nd did you mean tool steel? Clarity please
got one in my factory division rifle. love it
*Obviously this is your first time taking one apart and assembling LOL, that was one smooth operation, especially the fire pin drop in*
Sorry man, that was just too perfect... last time I took one apart I had to get the pliers out to get the damn firing pin retaining pin to go back in...
@@metthem88 probably was bent. Those things bend all the time. I bought 10 spares for like 5 bucks one time
Can you please do a Titanium one please
You talked me into ordering one. Thanks
Good deal on a nice-looking bolt carrier group, have a question and maybe a potential video test for the future you could do.you during your review of the bolt you mention the gas rings were aligned correctly( staggered) Chris bartocci of Small arms Solutions indicated that this perception was false, the gas rings do not need to be staggered. The gap in the gas rings will close when the bolt is forced into the BCG. ( now I'm going to show my willingness to get people to spend their money and not mine, sorry kotaboy) how about a video at the range shooting two or three mags with them staggered and two or three mags with them all aligned and see if there's any difference.
I know this is an old post but I see you have not received a reply and I assume your question is serious. I have a 10.5" 300 BLK with a PSA BCG and it functioned great for a long time with minimal maintenance. Translation: I do not clean it much. All of a sudden I started getting gas in my face, even with subs, to the extent that it was painful to shoot it. I was about to order a high buck Gas Buster charging handle when I ran across a You Tube video review of the Gas Buster. In the comments someone suggested checking the gas ring alignment. I checked mine and all of the gaps were aligned allowing the gas to pass through. I staggered them and the problem disappeared.
POPPED UP ON SALE THIS MORNING AND i GOT THE LAST ONE!
Psa is great for the money. Spikes looks better in this example tho. Look at the cuts out of the material on the psa. For 89, it's good tho.
Aren't these made or coated by Failzero? Im pretty sure they play some part in the manufacturing. Either way, both are good quality and super easy to clean. Put almost 200 rounds through mine the other day and wiped everything off with a microfiber cloth. Good as new.
Thank you for the video. Taught me a lot. Fred
I don’t have a nickel boron but plan to get one soon. PSA looks like a good option
Ohio Guns & Deals I’ve got one and am pleased
I prefer PSA . budget friendly.... Quality parts. Great inventory and sales..
I'm a big fan of these. Only problem is, they are $175 instead of the $100 they were in the past.
I just got one on sale for 80$
@@OpiumMonkey yeah, me too. My post was from last year
@@jayfin5507 they’re still marked down from 179.99$ though
I carry a spare bolt in every rifle pistol grip along with a few other bolt parts. I don't feel the need to have that many carriers around.
You mentioned recreational use. Would you recommend for home defense?
Love my old Daisy BB gun. Hunt flys. Be carefull of bounce backs. Thanks. Be aware of the low velocity ricochet. Is there an upgrade?
Its a nice looking bolt, I run the WMD also like it a lot
Love your videos. This helped. Thank you.
I have one from psa. Same as that and alls i hear is negative on the finish. I dont get it its a premium bolt i have one now i dont have alotnof rounds through it
Is this a full auto bolt carrier group?
I think i just ordered the last one. Now says out of stock. Hope it works as good as it looks. Thanks for the heads up on the sale
Had to pay $100 more for mine, got the same bcg
What ring broke in half? Couldn't make it out..
Just got one,10pack pmags & this…
What’s the update??
Thanks.
Looks good to me👍 Stay Safe...Steve from Illinois.
I run one too, you cant beat them for price and quality
Any new updates on bcg holding up .
Kota, I've been hovering around building my own AR and followed your MOAR. There are so many uppers, lowers etc... Why would I go with bcm over psa or aero precision etc can you do a video explainng popular options?
Good stuff! I look forward to the review of it after you shoot the hooyah out of it!
Any update on this?
That is a good lookin bolt and the price the right. thanks for the review brother..
Nice Videos ,brother. I like that BCG a lot. Are the inside diameter of the bolt carrier ,where the blot sits and the gas key chrome plated?
What is the difference with nickel boron and a phosphate bcg? Is it worth paying a couple bucks and buying the nickel one?
What is a .223? Is it
More powerful than Daisy Red Rider?
Jeff Feudner Stand in front of one and tell us?
