Why a BCG from Griffin Armament? The simple answer is that these BCGs are the best we have used in our ten years of military service and over a decade of industry involvement. When you look at a top shelf product you can see its quality. These are the best mil spec pattern there are. The Griffin BCG combines an 8620 carrier, 9310 Bolt, 4340 cam pin and extractor. All the proper heat treats, the correct shot peen, and the often neglected post heat treated grind are present. In a market filled with cast component BCGs, all components are billet machined and all surfaces receive a finish pass in machining for improved surface smoothness. There are varying degrees of quality in Melonite QPQ finishes. These BCGs went to 4 finishing houses for selection of the finish provider, cost not being a consideration. The result is a deep black finish with remarkable lubricity. These are assembled to the current military technical data package with permatexd and properly staked carrier keys. They also feature the current 15,000 round extractor spring design and a Crane O ring for reliable extraction in extreme conditions. We ran these thousands of rounds in multiple manufacturers rifles throughout the T&E phase without a single malfunction. From first sight through months of use to the final product launch we have remained excited to bring this BCG to market. This is the only BCG that has ever excited us and that is why we have chosen to offer it to the people we care about, our customers. Many Metallurgists consider AISI 9310 alloy steel as an acceptable bolt material and substitute for Carpenter 158 (Carpenters brand name AISI P6 Spec mold steel). However for the M4 purists we offer our BCG with the optional Carpenter 158 bolt made to current Mil-Spec including phosphate rather than Melonite treatment which comes with the 9310 bolt.

I have heard of the Griffin product quality and they dis nit disappoint with their BCG. Optics Planet shipped it very qyuckly. I have had troubles with two other BCG's. Don't waist your money on bargain product. The Griffin quality will save you money over time. I have a few thousand rounds with it, in many harsh conditions, suppressed and unrepressed and have not had one issue.

Needed a BCG. Giselle is pretty much obsolete when it comes to BCGs. I went with this brand because they also make suppressors. I figure if they can handle suppressed, then it should be more than adequate. Plus the idea is kinda girly. I don’t know if it is chrome lined or not. I don’t believe it is.

It works as it should. zero jams out of 3 30 round mags. My only take away is the item wasn't the color I ordered. Easy install and it feeds as it should. It feeds the .300 Round with eas zero problems so far.

I have become a big fan of Griffin gear in the last few years so when I needed a new BCG I decided to give this one a try. This is just a nothing fancy, squared away bolt carrier group. Has the MPI marking and a good looking Griffin winged lion logo. I am always skeptical of any BCG that does not bear the logo of who made it. That typically means they do not want you to know because it is of questionable quality. I have around 2000 rounds thru it so far and it has ran perfect. Shooting suppressed for most of them. Cleans out easily and has a slick finish for not being nickel boron. Overall this is just a rock solid BCG that should run for many years into the future. The price is very fair as well.

The product arrived as it was described. A great drop in bolt carrier group. As expected it came completely assembled and ready to drop in. It looks nice as well. I'm sure it will serve its intended purpose.

The Griffin Armament Enhanced Mil Spec Bolt Carrier Group is a well-built and high quality BCG. I currently have this installed on a .300 AR pistol and it has functioned well since it was received. To date, I have not experienced any issues with this bolt carrier group.
