Absolute quality at bargain prices. Got 2, phosphate finishes and machining are smoother than the Founding Fathers Microbest bcgs I got from PSA some years ago. The OCKS screws with staking biting into them really stand out, Sprinco springs all checked out. Great stickers, thx MWO.

Important info…
When I received it I was a bit reserved about the quality being there was no brass on the bolt face and the bolt marking MP was distorted which lead me to question it…I reached out to Microbest for information…
“All quality processes are done PRE photostatting”…being the HPT and MP testing. That put my mind to ease.
Reading on their website the different manufacturers they make BCGs for alot of things became clear on what I have read on reviews and forums about other bcgs, that they actually make…
Bottom like… a great replacement option (mine) or for a new build… I will be ordering more when they come back into stock..

Great Bolt Carrier Group! – The Microbest Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) is made from high-grade Mil-Spec materials and manufactured using precision machines.
When I received my bolt carrier group, I was happy to see that the gas key used Ned Christiansen’s OCKS to properly secure it. Also, the BCG includes sprinco extractor and ejector springs to enhance its reliability. Lastly, I gauged the bolt shoulder, gas ring, and bolt tail, and was happy to see that the carrier was gas-efficient.
The following are the results from my gauging. All are in inches.
Bolt carrier
Carrier – 6.685
Carrier key – .180
Bolt Slahoulder run – .529
Bolt gas run – .499
Bolt tail run – .251

Bottom line is this. This BCG comes at an amazing price with solid upgrades right off the bat. I will definitely come back and get another one in the near future!

Bought one recently liking the upgrades, quality name and the good price.
Everything visually checks out.
Ran it through a gas key torque test and the both OCKS turned at around 25-30in lbs. I was quite surprised by this.
