I don't want to hijack, but would like to ask. Are these all for new builds, or do people wear out their bcg more often than mine seem to.
No one wants to answer this gentleman's question?

I think we just got distracted. I suspect it is for new builds. Also a rainy day. I'm not wearing out BCG's anytime soon with the lack of ammunition these days.
I looked up the serial number from the M16 I used in basic training:Thanks. That what I think too. My own BCG would not wear out in my life time.
They are out there. They are not cheap. I just ordered 4 for a few 308 builds. The one stop shop is gone for sure..
Don't snooze or you'll lose!

Referring back to my post above how my basic training M16 was manufactured 18 years before I put my hands on it, there's no telling how many thousands of rounds that rifle handled. I know that in my time in Basic Training, In one week during our main BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship) period, I probably fired close to 1,000 rounds, and then fired a bunch of blank rounds during bivouacs doing various ambushes and staged firefights with other platoons.A good bolt will take a long, long time to wear out. Unless you are putting a thousand rounds per month through your AR, it'll be a good while. A good BCG can also be rebuilt a few times with a new extractor, springs, etc.
In stock as of this post, they were on sale for $165 a few days ago.

They make BCG's for Noveske
I received my RCA BCG today. I have to say it has one of the smoothest finishes and machining work I have ever seen on a BCG. I can see why Noveske uses them.

...like, is it chrome lined?What’s the general consensus on Gunlabs bcg? I didn’t find anything much negative, so I’m assuming at least decent.
...like, is it chrome lined?
nitrided bolt carrier groups do not require chrome lining of the gas key or inner areas of the bolt carrier because Nitride serves the same purpose as chrome lining.
My biggest concern with most BCGs available right now is the 9310 bolt. C158 is a better option.
I haven't seen nitriding with chrome.
