blueskybob, Thanks. I did go to check out with 2 cans and my total with shipping was $30.85 (see below). I really didn't that was a great deal once they put the extra shipping fee in. Thanks again.

Just noticed that they have blems for $70.00 on a valentines day special. http://palmettostatearmory.com/blem-psa-bcg-auto-556-premium-with-psa-logo.html

Not quite $69, but the best price I have seen on this in a while when you calculate the price of a charging handle in. Hopefully they will continue to slide in price. http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-5-56-premium-full-auto-bolt-carrier-group-psa-ar15-m16-7075-t6-forged-mil-spec-charging-handle.html

They seem to be getting reasonable again. Thanks for the post! I also saw these at Primary Arms.http://www.primaryarms.com/anderson-manufacturing-ar-15-stripped-lower-receiver-closed-ear-ar-15-a3-lwfor-um-closed I like the closed ear. The arch is not as big as some I have seen but for $39.99 they are a steal. I bought 4 of them when they were $49.99 and thought it was a good deal. I fit them together with Anderson uppers, and they are tight as can be! Oh, I forget to mention, the PSA lowers are out of stock as of 3:25PM 1/7/17

Fatboy Tactical also has the closed trigger guard version for $44.95. I have purchased these from them before (at the same price) and they worked out well. http://fatboytactical.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=21 BTW...I have also purchased the standard trigger guard model from Steve. He is actually cheaper in the end.

I purchased a larue PredatAR7.62, and the manual said the same old 1 shot clean...etc... but it also said that was there procedure because customers asked for a break in procedure. I also have a couple of Armalite 7.62s that had the old 1 shot clean etc. in the manual. I actually called Armalite for some help with a cycling issue and the guy actually asked me if I was breaking in the barrel the proper way. So they seem serious about it....I have no clue but have been told this is important on stainless barrels only. Again, I really don't know, and feel most of my guns will always outshoot me even if the barrels were not broken in properly.

Thanks younggun for the info...I am glad that you scored!!

Thanks for the report AlDente67. Glad to hear that you had a good experience.

I have not purchased any from this guy, but it looks legit. $8 for a like new used can is not bad. If anyone has purchased from this guy please chime in. http://cnj.craigslist.org/spo/5377312281.html

I purchased a Century arms AK from Steve @ Monmouth Arms. Steve is a great guy and fun to chat with. His prices are competitive as well. I purchased the Magpul version. It cost a couple of bucks more but I like the Magpul accessories. In the end, I would have customized it and it would have been a bit more if I purchased the standard version. Anyhow, Steve usually has them in stock and they are completely NJ legal. He also has the Magpul mags blocked to 15 rounds. I love the gun and it hasn't missed a single beat in several hundred rounds...Oh, and it is made in the USA!

NJpilot...thanks for sharing!! I went on and looked at some ammo, then noticed that this offer is not good on ammo :-( Thanks again!

And now on "Christmas Sale" for $99...LOL that is funny! http://palmettostatearmory.com/catalog/product/view/id/2321/

I guess they marked them up so they could put them on the black Friday "sale"!! Out of stock now 11/29/15 7:50 pm

Damn...Now the logo model that Frank Rizzo placed the link to is "on sale" for $99.99. I am glad that I got them when they were only $69.99!!

Yes, Steve is on route 9...thanks kc17 for correcting me. For some reason, I always confuse the two. Anyhow, Steve didn't pay me to advertise for him...He actually schooled me. I purchased 4 Anderson lower receivers at Fatboy Tactical and had them shipped to Steve (Monmouth Arms) for transfer. Steve did the math for me while I was there. And, although my initial price was less, by the time I paid the transfer fee, I paid a couple bucks more each, and Steve had them in stock, no waiting. BTW, I have built 2 of the 4 that were transferred, and I have no complaints about their quality or fit and finish. In the past I have spent $200 for a stripped lower, trying to get the best available. Today, when I do a build, I tend to save the money that I have spent on the high dollar lower and put it into a nice trigger or an upgrade to the barrel...Just my opinion...

Steve is top notch... I usually call before I go, just to make sure he will be there. His new shop is easy to find, but also easy to miss when going down rt 1. If you miss the entrance, no big deal. The next exit is a shopping center. You can turn in there and cut back to Steve's place. Enjoy the conversation!

To me, it does not matter at all. T strip the entire bolt carrier down to headspace the bolt in the gun that it will live in. At this time I lube the bolt and associated parts. For some reason some get upset if a bolt is supplied dry. I have built several guns using PSA parts and have never had an issue with any of them. I would consider them to be good parts. This bolt carrier is the premium BCG that they sell. They do offer a cheaper alternative, but at this price, I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to go cheaper. BTW, all of the BCGs that I have purchased not only ran flawlessly, but also headspaced properly. This being said, I am far from an expert marksman.

Got my new order Friday. I was right, the difference is that this one (the link Frank Rizzo supplied) has the PSA logo on it. Another thing that I noticed is that this bolt is completely dry. The other ones that I god were well oiled inside and out. Because I know someone will ask, yes, the bolt is hpt/mp marked. An additional note is that although the Halloween sale s over, the bolts are still $69.99 as of 7:00PM 11/8.2015

Hello all, I just wanted to update this thread and take the time to once again thank those that made suggestions. I decided to go for the S&W 629 in 4" barrel. I went with the Smith over the Ruger due to weight. After long discussions it was agreed that the Ruger would be heavier and not as fun to carry all day. The weight factor also played a part in me going down to the 4" barrel. I also feel now that I have been schooled that the 4" barrel will do the job while being easer to carry and have a lighter weight. Just so you know, If Smith was out of business tomorrow, I would feel quite comfortable purchasing the Ruger instead. It just seems for the application the S&W nudged the Ruger out very slightly. Also, I purchased the gun online from Kentucky Gun Company. I selected the check price and I am not sorry. I saved over $20 on the price by sending a check. It only delayed the shipment a couple of days. So, in the end, I picked up this gun for about $200 less than it was available locally (it was only in stock in one place that I could find), and that includes the $30 I paid for transfer. Thanks again!

The link to the BCG that Frank Rizzo posted above is now on a Halloween deal for $69.99. I went back and looked it up, the part number is not the same as the ones I got. But, all the specs are exactly the same. Best I can figure, this one has a logo, and the ones I got did not. For under $70, I am ordering another spare.

Says not available now...Shows $119.99 for a price

Yes, that is the same...Wow, wish I waited for the daily deal

Just got 2 more of these BCGs today and they are HPT/MP marked...They are also lubed really well like the last ones.

mine are HPT/MP marked on the bolt

$79.99...Regularly $149.99 I purchased 3. And another previously. I have seen complaints that these are not properly lubed. One of the 3 just arrived last week and it was lubed real well. Even inside when I took it apart to headspace. Item #39339 http://palmettostatearmory.com/catalog/product/view/id/15174/
