Everything a BCG Should Be

by Matt S., Gear Expert from IL, United States Written on November 17, 2016
I have used AXTS charging handles and Talon safeties with zero complaints. I still covet one of their true ambi lower receivers. So they are a brand I happily recommend and would buy from again.

Saw this BCG on discount and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Used it to replace an OEM DPMS BCG for awhile until I got my AR pistol built and now that is where it resides. Several hundred rounds in both the 16" upper and the 11" upper without any issues.

There are TONS of great options for BCGs these days which makes it hard to say this is a must have item.

But at the very least, it sets the bar for what other BCGs should be. Especially if you run your rifles hard or expect the best out of them at any given moment.

-"Mil-Spec"/full auto rated...not a necessary for most of us in slave states but still nice to know it's built to that standard

-"Properly" staked gas key...you may be surprised but not all are staked correctly. It matters.

-Self lubricating/polished finish...besides just looking good, a quality finish will help your BCG run even when dirty and makes it easier to clean up. That's less maintenance time and more range time.

-Shot Peened Bolt...adds durability so you aren't prematurely replacing your bolt

-HPT/MPI...Quality Control tests that ensure only the best of the batch go out the door

While there are cheaper BCGs, there are very few that are of this quality at a lower price.

Never hurts to have a spare BCG lying around so if you find this at a good price, go...

Most Helpful Negative Review Quick delivery
I received my bcg in 6 days, and it looked good, except the gas key wasn't staked. I staked it myself and it works great. Op shipped it quickly and that's a good thing. I would order more from Op because they don't mess around getting the order out.

A Solid BCG

by JWest, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on May 15, 2017
I've got a few hundreds rounds on my AXTS BCG and it has been flawless for everyone. If your lucky enough to catch this BCG when it's on sale you can't lose. The bolt itself had the MPI proof marks on it and it meets all the requirements that top of the line BCG do. High Pressure Tested, Magnetic Partical Inspected & Shot Peened. The staking is done excellently and the Black Nitride coating on them holds up unlike phosphate finishes. There is no visible wear on it at all. I would absoultly recommend this to anyone who is looking to finish a build or to upgrade their existing AR.

Bolt carrier

by Jason, from SC, United States Written on April 29, 2017
It works great and is great quality. Price is good. Super fast shipping. I'm using it in a ar pistol build. It cycles great and is heavy duty. I would recommend it to anyone. I plan on another build for a friend, I will be using another one of these for it.

Excellent BCG at an Excellent Price

by djhughes017, from WA, United States Written on April 10, 2017
AXTS Weapon Systems (now Radian) manufacturers high-quality AR15 products and accessories and this BCG is no different. Features include an excellent nitride finish and quality staking of the gas key. Specs are excellent. Compared to other BCGs I own (Sharps Rifle Company, Black Rifle Arms, Fail Zero, and Young Manufacturing) this is a top-of-the-line product> I bought a second one for another build and recommend this to anyone, especially given the price offered through Optics Planet.
Pros:
  • Excellent finish
  • properly staked
  • good bolt specs
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Law Enforcement
  • Range use
  • competition use
Would recommend: Yes

Overall good

by Ameza, from CA, United States Written on April 4, 2017
Fired about 400 rounds using this bolt carrier group with out a fail so I'm pretty happy. However the staking does look a little suspect. It appears to be poorly done But I mean for the price it's worth it.
