Bolt Carrier Group recommendation

[Sig357]

What brand BCG's would you recommend for a Noveske Recon 16" barrel?

Should I get full or semi auto BCG?

And I should use a H buffer with a full auto BCG, correct?


Thanks for the help

[CRTguns]

define BCG please...

[Sig357]

Bolt Carrier Group.. I am thinking of going with LMT. Are LMT both MPI and HPT?

[Guntech]

F/A S/A?

[Sig357]

By F/A you mean Fully-Auto and by S/A you mean Semi-Auto?

Yes. Sorry for all the abbreviations.

Get a full auto bolt carrier group if available. The extra mass helps.

Should I use the full auto bolt carrier group with an H butter?

[armygunsmith]

Start with a stock buffer, then if you feel you need more mass you can move up.

A Noveske.

A Noveske.

Jicko, do you have one you want to sell me.

I called Noveske to see if they had any Bolt Carrier Groups for sale, they told me they did not. I asked what BCG they would recommend. She told me that they use Stag BCG's that are MP tested.

Anyone know if this is true? Not saying that Stag is bad, it was just an unexpected response.

You just got the answer straight from the source.... and you are asking CGN to confirm????

Yes they also use CMT uppers on their basic upper builds. CMT is a mil-spec provider. If the BCG is shot peened and MPI I wouldn't worry. My Noveske provided BCG is properly staked and MPI'ed.

[Jicko]

It is pretty much a known fact that Noveske uses a lot of parts from CMT(ie. Stag). But the parts are built to Noveske's spec.

The last Stag BCG I handled, the gas key isn't staked and the bolt isn't MPI....

Jicko, do you have one you want to sell me.

I do have one personally, but unfortunately, I wasn't thinking about selling it.



So, if i have to pick between CMT or LMT.... I would go with LMT... and if you "have to" get an CMT, get the MPI version....
