Would you recommend, yes and no - TRYBE Defense LR-308 DPMS .308 Complete Bolt Carrier Group (BCG)

First of all, this was to be used for a 6.5 creedmoor build. I checked the specs and checked online and found that this bolt carrier group should have been fine for the 6.5, so I went forward and ordered the nickel boron bcg. The barrel is a ballistic advantage 20 inch on an aero m5 upper. I checked the chamber and loaded some new brass with barnes match burners to saami specs with a medium range load of imr 4350.

First try, fail to fire. Could not figure out what the problem was, so went back and checked everything and tried again. Again a no go. After recharging and trying again, I got a round to go and the next round fed fine but again when I squeezed the trigger a no go. Not sure what the problem was and having used jp enhanced reliability springs, I thought maybe the hammer was not falling hard enough, so went to a set of mil spec springs. Issue remained with no fire. Tried loading a few more rounds with a different batch of primers and out of 5 was able to get one to go. Then decided the issue had to be the bolt. Disassembled it and found nothing that stood out. Contacted optics planet, they gave a return authorization and I sent it back.

Took nearly a month to get the replacement. When the replacement came in took it out and gave it a try. Went back to the original jp spring set on the match 2 stage trigger, and first shot fired and ejected spent case. Loaded a few more and bang bang. Now have fired around 50 rounds through it with the second trybe nib bcg and has run flawlessly(knock on wood).

Not sure the reason for the failure with the first bcg. I found nothing wrong with the pin or the bolt. Optics planet made it right. If not for the first one being bad, would give it 5 stars, but reality is there was an issue with the first one. Thought the description said these are tested, being there was an issue with the first one I would have to question how well they are tested.
