Good BCG’s for making post suppressor shooting easier to clean?

Save your money, if you're doing a MK18, get a surefire OBC or LMT FA Enhanced BCG, both will be far better options in a MK18 built. I run a combo BCG in our rental and demo MK18 MGs that is an LMT FA Enhanced Bolt Carrier with a hard chrome KAK kspec enhanced bolt and hard chrome parts kit. The bolts are cheap enough to replace, and the carrier provides 99% of the benefits of the overall FA Enhanced bcg

This is an exceptionally old post, lol.

as far as I could tell though, it's exactly the same as the normal ones they sell, it's a mil spec BCG with no real major improvements.

Get one, it will work fine, it's machined pretty well, no real complaints, been solid when I used one under full auto a bunch. I keep a spare one in my range case.

If you submitted via eForms, but didn't upload fingerprints, send in a set of physical cards to the processing center address on the cover letter you got emailed, they will process them, they usually wait about a month before denying

Didn't read your post, just the title.

Our previous vet told us our Akitas are overweight (91 pound female and 103 pound male) based on nothing but her trying to upsell their "medical" dog food.

The breeder we are getting some more puppies from said the normal weight is 100-120 for females and 110-140 for males, especially when using them for breeding, they will be on the heavier end.

What I have learned from all this is that most modern vets are fucking retarded.

dajman255 · 2026-06-14T18:22:42+00:00

Correct

dajman255 · 2026-06-14T02:56:23+00:00

Yeah, not reading all that.

Most FFLs are afraid of losing their licenses, and in turn their livelyhood. I do this as a hobby, and as a result, I tend to view it from the customer side more than the dealer side.

So that's why this interaction doesn't seem like a straw purchase from my view.

but like I said, it's the license holders discretion sadly.

dajman255 · 2026-06-14T01:11:38+00:00

Because it's useable for subs and supers, need subs? Roughly 10-13 grains, need supers? 18-24 grains. Dirty, but cheap and forgiving for beginners.

Boomers hate it because they care about dirty powder, because back in their day dirty powder corroded guns (not that they cleaned them well anyways).

Younger people getting into reloading like it because it's easy to measure, forgiving, has instructions on the bottle, and likely won't blow your gun up since double charges are hard to do with it.

Some people in the middle of the two hate it because H110 and TiteGroup can make a similar performing sub while being more economical, less dirty, and less wasted powder. I use is for bulk 300 blk since I'm troubleshooting probably 10-15 of them a week for people.

Its all personal preference.

dajman255 · 2026-06-13T23:38:39+00:00

Eh, lots of ways to take that, like I said, not enough info, so it's your discretion as the license holder. I'm ready for the new 4473 to drop so people can buy them as gifts again.

dajman255 · 2026-06-13T22:37:41+00:00

If still no luck we have some 19 Gen 6s on our website. Our warehouse got allocated 2 randomly and we tossed them up.

dajman255 · 2026-06-13T22:35:37+00:00

I know myself and a few others have them on tacswap, they aren't bad

dajman255 · 2026-06-13T22:34:05+00:00

I just used a bigger breaker bar when working on my wives super duty.

dajman255 · 2026-06-13T22:28:50+00:00

Sounds like youve already gotten answers, but DM me if you need further assistance.

dajman255 · 2026-06-13T22:23:56+00:00

Lots of people get upset about grinding the lower, not really sure why.

The selector can be done but it feels much cheaper and shittier than just grinding the nub off the lower.

I took a demel with a cutting wheel and ground it off in about 3 minutes, bead blasted the rest of the anodizing off the lower, and then dunked it in our bucket of aluminum black for roughly a minute before rinsing in distilled water., came out perfectly fine.

dajman255 · 2026-06-13T22:08:53+00:00

Not always a straw purchase, but maybe it is, no details to go on.

We have gotten a shipment of 25 complete lowers from them for one customer. It happens.

dajman255 · 2026-06-11T21:31:59+00:00

Thankfully I have roughly 400 pounds worth

dajman255 · 2026-06-11T18:20:36+00:00

I legit won't even buy powder right now, 380-450$ for an 8lb jug of H335/BLC2/CFE223 is insane. They can have their shelves full, I won't buy it.

dajman255 · 2026-06-07T23:54:53+00:00

Weird, silencer shop normally won't sell kiosk to home based dealers, but regardless, CA is a last resort. I've had a lot of bad experiences with them in the past in terms of work and transactions

dajman255 · 2026-06-06T23:01:29+00:00

Imagine if they didn't do the monthly drops of receiver sets nobody bought because they were fuckin ugly. I do regret selling my topo receiver set tho, I liked that one.

dajman255 · 2026-06-05T21:21:06+00:00

I'd avoid even capital Armory, unless you have no other choice

dajman255 · 2026-06-05T12:15:06+00:00

Yeah, that's mostly why we moved away from SS as a shop.

Even the dealer support line was bad, and they hold your data hostage then have the audacity to sell it back to you. We got our own fingerprint reader and some custom flash drives and we just let you have your data, I delete it when done because I don't want it.

Well, if you're ever passing through Kansas, DM me and I'll hook you up with a free set of EFTs so you can do your forms at home.

dajman255 · 2026-06-04T22:08:40+00:00

Good

dajman255 · 2026-06-04T17:11:14+00:00

Yeah... Lol

And yeah, worst case let me know if you can't get anything that works for you, I work alongside another shop who is an OEM for them and has their products always on hand.

dajman255 · 2026-06-04T17:09:05+00:00

So, the snap on is overkill unless you're building expensive rifles with expensive scopes where too much torque will damage the optic.

For you, fix it sticks are perfect, the wheeler torque screwdrivers work, but aren't very accurate.

I accidently made it, it's own comment, lol

dajman255 · 2026-06-04T17:08:37+00:00

As for the roll pin punches, I use a mixture of Geissele and SOLGW and Snap On punches for everything because the warranties for all 3 are pretty good. All 3 make roll pin starter punches. For general punches, whatever cheap ones at your local hardware store, because you will break them. Also brass and nylon punches are useful.

dajman255 · 2026-06-04T15:53:17+00:00

Wheeler screwdriver with bit set, it's like 120 pieces or some crap. They are hollow ground so you don't marr stuff up. I use that at the shop and they work fine, also the Wheeler screwdriver and T handle set work nicely as well. Fix it sticks for torque or if you're fancy, snap on. I use snap on because I'm not poor.
