    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.

    I would say full carrier and bolt in Nickel Boron if you're going to do it at all.

    As for the JoeBob Enhanced BCG, I'd be in for at least two or so at the group buy price. Maybe more once I talk to some family members.

    I would take one or two of the carrier and bold NiB when you are ready.

    Bolt and carrier for sure! Cleaning off the gas piston end of the bolt is so much easier with NiB. I'm in for at least 2 if a group buy happens.

    Would most defantily be in for a group buy, just trying to find bcg's is insane unless you want to drop 200 and up for one.

    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?
