How's the quality of BROWNELLS 6.5 bolt/carrier ?

thanks

This a relatively new product so I haven't seen any feed back on Brownell's BCG. I figure Brownell's has contracted with another company to build this BCG. The BCG could come from any of the different suppliers like BCA, Toolcraft, Maxim or other source. Brownell's usually doesn't disclose their source but I believe Brownell's will stand behind this product if you encounter problems.

Maybe someone else will chime in.

Got my BCG friday, looks beautiful, very nice black nitride finish, installed in in a upper with a 16" Anderson barrel, and fired steel Wolf, and Hornady SST's flawlessly

Did you by chance check the headspace gages, or can you measure a fired round and report if it's in spec? I'm sure it is I'm just curious about details. No burs or sharp corners. I've seen some cheap carriers from PSA sold those at a loss just to get rid of them. I need to order six BCG's though about the only thing left I need

I have one, its ok, nothing special just a plan Jane bolt carrier. Not a top line one!

Got mine today, it looks very slick, very smooth finished.

. . . almost like an old S&W blued revolver

Key looks properly staked.

I don't have any 6.5G headspace gauges, but I with the upper in my lap, I can chamber a factory 123grELD, and if I place a tiny disc of electrical tape on the back of the round, the bolt doesn't close. ( poor mans headspace check LOL )

I don't expect any headspace troubles.

some quick iphone pics, after wiping down with an oily paper towel...

Off-topic, but I really like your rifle!

On topic, jeez that bolt looks similar to the Odin Works bolts....

It is the .136 bolt, correct?

D45, is the inside of the bolt carrier finished in nitride and not chromed? Dave.
