See my previous revue. Received my returned/exchanged BCG yesterday. The quality is much better than the first one, no tool marks and no dings. The finish is good but this one also has scratches in the inner rear part. Not as bad as the first, so being that BCG are hard to get I will live with it. I will not buy another one of these. I know that you can buy a BCG of this quality for less and a better quality for the same price range. As far as Optics Planet goes, they had these back in stock weeks ago but sold out before they processed my return. I feel that they should have taken care of a return first. I have been a customer of theirs for over 10 years and will continue buying from them. This is the first time that I ever had a problem.

Disappointed in the quality of workmanship on this BCG from a highly rated company and at this price range. Bolt carrier had deep scratches in the rear inside area possibly through the plating. Also had tool chatter marks on outer surface (not in an area that would affect function) but quality control should have caught it before it went to plating. Makes me wonder what else slipped by. Lastly it had a dent in the lower right surface that would contact the inside of the receiver. The raised metal would surely wear the anodizing. On a phosphate carrier you could dress it down but impossible on plated one. I almost forgot the gas key staking could be a little more aggressive. Should I live with it because BCG are hard to get? No, I sent it back for an exchange (give Fostech another chance) but Optics Planet is out of them so don't know when I will see another. Is it me or is the quality of everything declining. We sure are making the Chinese look good. I just got an Aero Precision Nickel Boron BCG that was on back order. It definitely is a quality product, sorry I wasted my time with Fostech.
