Reviews & Ratings for Alpha Shooting Sports ALPHA Premium 5.56 NiB V2 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) — 10 reviews — Page 1

Purchased this BCG because I got tired of cleaning my old school phosphate coated BCG. It cleans off real easy and stays slick throughout my shooting sessions. I use it in my 3 Gun rifle and has not failed me yet. These guys are legit.

Bought this for a homebuilt upper with premium parts. Staking on the key is deep, logo is clean and firing pin free floats. Fit and Finish is clean and fired powder residue is easily removed. I run it hard in a everyday use go to rifle and it hasn't failed yet or showed any signs of abnormal wear. About 1000 rounds on it so far. I'm going to order another one for backup. I recommend this Nickel Boron BCG from Alpha Shooting Sports.

Took a chance on this Bolt Carrier Group and glad I did. Been working perfect in my AR-upper. The finish is very smooth and makes charging it easy. Price was well worth it and recommend it for any AR.

Bolt Carrier Group has a great finish and smooth as heck. Been running one of these for past year with over 1000rds and cleans up easy every time. I oil it for extra smooth cycling. I might get another one as a backup or swap out from one of my older AR-Upper.

Decided to take a chance on this bcg despite the bad reviews since I didn't have issues with my Alpha Slides. It dropped in and even ran with the crappiest steel case ammo. Machining looks great and nickel boron finish just as awesome.

This was the last part I needed to complete my build. It shipped fast and replacing my old black bolt carrier group was easy. Runs great with very little oil. Easy to clean even with the dirtiest of ammo.

The BCG in my rifle was showing some bad wear so I decided replace it. Added a little lube to the bcg and dropped her right in. Took it out over the weekend and ran 250 rounds and it never missed a beat. Racking and charging the rifle was noticeable smoother compared to my old bcg.

I've been going round and round with Optics Planet and ALPHA Shooting Sports. The BCG I received from Optics arrived quickly, but the rest of the build was delayed from other resellers. I didn't get a chance to even try the BCG until after the return period, that is my fault.
No matter what rifle I put this BCG in it will not cycle. It will fire the first round just fine, but won't always eject and NEVER picks up the next round. I contacted OP and they had me reach out to Alpha, which I did. Alpha and I exchanged several emails and pictures, they finally had me send the BCG to them. They are located in California, I am in Kentucky. They had the BCG for about two weeks, said they fired 10 rounds with it and had no malfunctions, then said they were sending me a newly test fired BCG. I received the BCG, it looks just like the one I sent them. Took it to the range today, same problems, tried 3 different rifles, 3 different bcgs in each rifle, the ONLY thing that had any issues was the Alpha BCG. I do not recommend it, unless you want a single shot BCG.

I've sent another email to Alpha letting them know about my latest range trip. I will wait and see what they say. I will update this review with any updates.
