Is the Stag BCG the best value in your opinion, or is there a better BCG for buck ratio?
Brownells.
The best mid range BCG i've handled for a .308 is the fulton armoury
Thank you sir!
I see that Brownells appears to offer three different BCGs for ARs in .308. I am getting more comfortable with all things AR, but I don't like to pay for high priced low value upgrades. Can you comment on the various finishes, Nitride, Nickel Boron, yadda-yadda?
Thanks,
Nitride is a form of surface hardening - incredibly wear resistant, and a fairly shiny/smooth surface.
Coatings such a nickel boron etc. are added to the surface of the material - much like chrome (different processes, but similar end results) they typically offer enhanced corrosion resistance, and can aid in better lubricity etc.
Also worth noting nitride can be harder to screw up where nickel boron can flake and if improperly applied can increase overall dimensions of the bcg.
A few things to add now that I received my set.
Only 2 complaints that were easily remedied.
- The trigger is OK, but from what people posted on here I thought it would've been better! so I swapped it out for the SSA-E.
- I ended up switching out the bolt catch, the factory one has a very weird design. And the bottom part literally doesn't have enough meat and just digs into your finger. So I threw on a Battle Arms Development enhanced bolt catch.
Everything else is top notch, and puts the BCL stripped set i had to shame.
- Takedown pins are to spec
- Upper and lower has literally zero play
- Finish is perfect
- Magwell is nicely flared and Pmags drop free !
- No " enhanced " offset buffer retainer... lol...
- The CH fits without having to ruin it.
- Fulton Armoury High Pressure Bolt fits
- Fulton Armoury Barrel Fits
- MI handgaurd fits
- The Talon ambi safety fits
- The included triger guard is also nice. Not the standar cheap crap most other companies put on.
- The ejection port cover doesn't have the push feature found on BCL but im sure ill live without it...lol...
Buy the Stag10 stripped set with confidence,

Where is this tension set screw? I can’t find the god damn thing anywhere...
And what does it put tension on?
Ok, I won’t mess with that,as mine has zero slopTry looking under the pistol grip? If I'm thinking of it correct, it applies tension to the bottom of the rear lug on the upper receiver, to remove any additional play between the upper and lower.
