MidwestPX 172 Posted March 27, 2014 Any word on when you are getting BCGs in again? Thanks House branded BCGs probably aren't coming back in stock any time soon. Reason for this is the market is racing to the bottom right now on BCGs. Phos for $80, nitrided for $100, and NiB for $100-130. In order to compete at these prices, I would have to give up certain things that I'm not willing to give up like tool steel extractors. BCGs is very much a volume game and the difference in cost between buying 100 at a time vs. 1000 is pretty substantial. I could bring 100 of my house-branded BCGs to market however they would likely sit for months due to the majority of buyers right now buying solely on price even though the feature set of my house-branded BCG is better. I do have a small number set aside to go out with the complete Centurion/Fortis uppers that are in stock. These BCGs were all test fired with their respective uppers so I won't be parting them out. As much as I'd like to reinvest in house-branded BCGs, I'm still a commercial entity in need of good ROI and turns to invest in product. Once the BCG market stabilizes, I'll have house branded BCGs again at fair prices without having to sacrifice quality. I do have Centurion Arms C4, WMD Guns NiB-X, and Fail Zero EXO/NiB in stock right now though. I'm working with a source right now to see if I can't bring a premium feature-set nitrided BCG out at a modest premium over the existing nitride offerings. I won't go into all the details but this BCG would have more than a couple functional upgrades at a lower price point than would be expected. We're moving locations in under three months so that may also play into the decision making matrix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MidwestPX 172 Posted March 27, 2014 Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I will check out what you have in stock. I'd take a hard look at the Centurion Arms C4. Monty, the guy who runs Centurion, currently serves as an active-duty SEAL and was recently moved from San Diego to Indiana. I don't know if his current deployment has him stationed at Crane/NAVSEA but he knows his stuff. The bolts are C158 and individually MPIed but specifically not HPTed as he says it's a partially destructive test that drastically reduces bolt life. Extractors are machined tool steel and not MIM or cast. Same goes for the gas keys. They're hooked up with FN (they produce their hammer forged barrels) and I suspect they're also the source for these BCGs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
