I bought all SOLGW parts and built my own SOLGW rifle.
Things that aren't SOLGW:
1. AR-15 Barrel: Colt SOCOM ($350)
2. Buffer tube: VLTOR A5 ($120)
3. Gas Tube: V Seven Extreme ($80)
4. Castle Nut: Primary Arms ($30)
5. Grip: hogue ($30)
6. Muzzle Break: Voodoo ($50)
7. MWI 7” handguard ($120)
SOLGW Parts:
Receiver combo: $200
Upper Kit: $30
Lower Kit: $85
BCG: $110
Total build cost: $1205
Labor: $0 (self assembled)
You've got a few interesting choices, IMHO:
1. SOLGW BCG. Nothing special, but it has QC, which is worth paying for.
2. Bootleg Adjustable BCG. If you're trying to run suppressed and don't have an adjustable BCG, this is a pretty decent option for reducing gas blowback. (Bootleg = PWS, which is quality.)
3. Surefire Optimized BCG. This is the true gucci option with its own buffer setup, but they've made some changes that I think make a lot of sense. Really shines in a full-auto setup.

Come on man, if your opinion is worth 2 cents, surly your labor is worth that much!

True story. Chad is not a fan of yfs fasteners, so you know what side to chose lol
Geissele on the other hand is asking an awful lot of money for their “enhanced “ bcg. It’s like double what their standard bcg costs. Makes the sons and bcm bcg seem like a steal lol

Y'all are funny. Primary Arms got some Spike's Tactical BCGs in stock so I ordered one. I'll be keeping the PSA as a spare, assuming I get it in this lifetime.

Do you have any proof. I have never heard this and a quick google search turned up nothing.
As the poster above said, it looks like footprint capital owns toolcraft not PSA.

I heard it from a source I thought was reliable. Maybe he's not, or maybe it's a different corporation so the Toolcraft name won't be tainted by association with PSA.

Most people just pick what they want. Trying to help people make better choices just results in wasted time.
