... less BCG which i still have to source. ....
I will say a prayer for you.
Ha! They are out there, just need to commit to buying one. I'd prefer nitride or NiBor. Hoping to find a deal but probably will have to just get what I can.
What's wrong with toolcraft? I see them, with nickel boron coating, for $149.95 with free shipping. I'd be all over that if I were in your shoes... A BCG is not where you want to skimp on. Cheap handguard, yes. Cheap poor quality BCG? Hell no...
