Recommendations for a new BCG

[thegrandpoohbah]

I am in the market for a new BCG in my Colt Canada IUR. The High Standard BCG that the rifle came with runs fine but I have funds for a new one and I can relegate the High Standard to back up duty so I figured why not? What would be your recommendation in the $300-400 range? Would prefer something TiN or NiB coated for the extra lubricity.

Not coated, but I just bought a Colt Canada BCG for $300 from Nordic Marksman on sale today.

Lantec hands down.

Yes, the Lantac Enhanced BCG had caught my eye and seems to get good reviews.

+1 for Lantac EBCG. I am using one in my select fire Norinco and very much satisafied with its performance.

JP low mass BCG? do you have an adjustable gas block?

Colt Canada hands down. Excellent BCG. And for a good price now.

Picked it up at The Calgary Shooting Center a while back. Seems to function just dandy.

Lmt or bcm will be top notch for way less than 300

out of curiousity, what are the advantages of an aftermarket bcg vs the one it came with?

Honestly, probably not much. I am starting to compete so I want a back-up bolt in case one breaks. I also want a coated one for the looks and as it will be easier to clean.

Personally I wouldn't bother but it's your money. What will a new $400 BCG do that your current one won't? There have have cases of NiB BCGs having the coating flake off.

Stag have always had a reputation for excellent quality and were the go to long before BCM and DD were making ARs. I believe BCM even use to sell "upgraded" Stag BCG. Arms East sells them for a very reasonable price.

If you want a fancy coating I'd be tempted by nickle teflon which Stag now offers.

I can understand wanting to have a spare bolt around (and cam pin, firing pin, etc.) but the full carrier? Waste of money - imho.

I picked up a spare Daniel defence bolt from wolverine a couple years back and thought it was good deal. Then the article on ar15 showed up from battlefield Las Vegas and they discussed the quality and longevity of the DD bolts and how they are their go to replacement bolt when the others fail.

I'm not trying to derail this thread, but ... please, tell me more about this. Thank you.

Yea. It is Norinco select fire CQA(converted by DIAS) which I have in back home country. We can have select fire rifles on prohibited firearms license there.

Another suggestion, how about keeping your carrier and switching the bolt to the LMT Enhanced bolt? https://shopquestar.com/shopping65/shopexd.asp?id=1961&bc=no Less than $300 and will give you KAC-like durability. It will likely last the life of the barrel. You can use the old bolt as a spare.

Just recently picked one of those up for a project, decent reviews and price for black nitride.
