Reviews & Ratings for Cryptic .223/5.56/.300 AAC Blackout Left Hand Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) - Complete — 6 reviews — Page 1

Recently purchased this BCG and it was worth every penny. I bought the mystic silver and the finish is as smooth as glass. It cycles like butter in my rifle and you can literally just wipe the carbon off with a dry cloth. I have it in a build with an FRT and it works amazing. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.

There are not many lefty AR parts to begin with, so choices are limited. I got this one, and it’s more expensive than many options that are only available to right handed BCGs. So it was among a select few LEFT options to begin with. It looks well made. I haven’t used it yet, but the finish being smoother and brighter, to me means less friction, and easier to know when I should clean it, compared to a flat black one. I like it. I would like it more if it were less expensive.

You will NOT regret buying this left handed BCG. 5 years ago, I was skeptical about getting into the left side ejection AR game due to the limitations of parts availability for vital components such as the BCG and bolt. THANK GOD for Cryptic! Not only is it the best left handed BCG I've used, but it's also the best BCG I've used period! You won't ever have to worry about lube freezing up or getting thick due to extreme cold weather because you can shoot this dry with absolutely zero issues. I'd still personally recommend some light lubing like slip2000 or gun butter during mid to hot weather climates for longevity, but this BCG is so slippery smooth it's insane. For some reason, the Mystic Black coating is the best, but they're all amazing. Simply look on the website and it goes further into detail on this subject. This is why the Mystic Black is more expensive. This is literally the God's gift BCG for lefties shooting left side eject ARs.

Trust me, you won't regret it. Once you're back from the range, just take a paper towel and rub off all the carbon. It literally slips off like butter. You can actually just use your gloves to wipe it down, but use a Q-tip to clean the small crevices. The ONLY part you'd probably need cleaner or scraper is where all BCGs get the worst buildup of hard carbon; where the gas port shoots onto the opposite side of the bolt face where the firing pin is installed past the gas rings. Everything else slips off like it's nothing. I've shot over 15,0...

This bolt carrier has a very nice smooth finish. Haven’t finished the build yet, but this is perfect and was a great deal.

I’m very pleased with this bolt I put together a left-handed upper and it was one of the very few that I could find that was decent priced it assembled well and appears to be very well-made
