Questions & Answers

How much does the bolt weigh without packaging? Expert Answer

Alpha Shooting Sports does not provide the weight of their ALPHA Premium 5.56 Nitride V2 Bolt Carrier Group. I would recommend contacting them directly for more information.

by Ethan, Gear Expert, January 6, 2023

are all 5.56 BCGs the same in respect to rifle, hand gun, brand etc. I have a mossberg as well as a Radical arms Expert Answer

There may be alterations that reduce weight, improve ejection, improve movement and reducing friction, or a different gas key if the system it's designed for doesn't have the need. Most AR-15 .223/5.56/300AAC bolt carrier groups will be interchangeable between rifles though. The only feature in that that would be necessary to check is that it is indeed still for direct impingement.

Great quality BCG by Mike, Verified Owner, May 31, 2020

I used the ALPHA premium bolt carrier group on my latest build and it appears to be beautifully made. Great fit and finish. Can't beat this BCG at this price anywhere. As always OPTICSPLANET has great service even during the current pandemic panic.

Top Quality for Low Pricing by Dj Iroc, Verified Owner, November 24, 2020

Very impressed on the finish and quality of the BCG. Smooth action and easy to clean. Ran about 500 rounds and not even a mark on the bolt face or lugs and extractor. Spits out brass as well as steel ammo with no issues at all.
