Toolcraft NiB BCG with Carpenter 158 bolt has the slick NiB coating thats easy to clean. The factory extractor spring was on the weak side for me - swapped to a Sprinco extractor spring and reliability improved. Quality otherwise.

Toolcraft NiB BCG with Carpenter 158 bolt has the slick NiB coating thats easy to clean. The factory extractor spring was on the weak side for me - swapped to a Sprinco extractor spring and reliability improved. Quality otherwise.
Toolcraft NiB BCG with Carpenter 158 bolt runs reliably for several hundred rounds without cleaning. NiB coating sheds carbon. Bolt is properly HPT/MPI tested. Solid quality budget BCG with the Toolcraft logo.
