    Id say go for the full nib.

    Do the bcg's meet all the usual mil specs? Shot peened mpi hp? What material are they made of?

    Spikes and failzero use different bolts for their nib on the gas key. Would these be the same?

    Specs:

    Individually MPI Tested & Stamped
    Bolt: 9310-Case hardened, Shot Peened, MPI tested, & Phosphated
    Gas Rings: Upgraded McFarland Gas Rings-Stops Gas Leaks & Improves Performance ($3.95 Value)
    Carrier: 8620 Tool Steel-(M16 full shroud)-Heat Treated, Chrome Lined & Phosphated
    Gas Key: Chrome Lined-Grade 8 Hardened Fasteners, Permatex No. 3 sealed, Torqued to 60 in lbs, & Mil-Spec Staked.
    Cam Pin: 4340 Steel-Heat Treated & Phosphated
    Extractor:Tool steel S7-Heat Treated to 48-53 Rockwell C & Phosphated
    Firing Pin Retention: Upgraded KNS Perma Pin instead of cotter pin ($7.50 value)
    Extractor Spring:Upgraded Chrome Silicon. Black Buffer & O-Ring for Enhanced Reliability.

    We haven't crossed the bridge yet on NiB, but doing a feeler now.

    We're releasing a JoeBob Enhanced BCG here within the next handful of weeks. There may be a group-buy opportunity, FYI, once we get hard dates and inventory arriving regularly. Price for the group buy will be $100/ea, with a normal retail of $130. We should be seeing a decent amount in 2-4 weeks, give or take, and are "supposed" to see somewhere around 1000/mo after that so availability should be good.

    We're contemplating doing a Nickel Boron version as well. Availability IF we decide to do it would be approx 3 months out probably. Prices would be as follows:

    Complete BCG w/ same specs + Nickel Boron Carrier= approx $149.95 retail
    Complete BCG w/ same specs + Nickel Boron Carriers & Bolt=approx $159.95 retail

    We've been seeing BCG's on the market such as Spike's & WMD with everything NiB, and also some with ONLY the carrier. What are your guys' thoughts about what is most important? We've never run anything other than FULL NiB BCG's here at the shop, but the NiB Carriers alone seem to sell well just by themselves as well.

    You can put me down for 2 full NiB BCG!!!!:party29:

    SO a group buy regular complete BCG is 100$?

    I'd for sure take one @ $100.

    If we can get a group buy on the NiB (complete) I'd cough up some extra for it.

    It says $160 retail for the NiB complete, is there a group buy price for the NiB Complete?
