October 14, 201511 yr $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/
October 14, 201511 yr "For packaging considerations, BCG will be packed dry. As a result, it will have a grey, dusty appearance that will turn black with the application of CLP or other preferred lubricant"
October 15, 201511 yr I run one in my stainless barreled lightweight upper and paid $99 on sale with no regrets. It's a quality piece as long as they haven't changed specs - never a problem. Coating soaks up the lube and cleans up nice too.
October 21, 201511 yr Author Just got 2 more of these BCGs today and they are HPT/MP marked...They are also lubed really well like the last ones.
October 26, 201511 yr Based on specs these look the same for $10 less, please correct me if wrong. http://palmettostatearmory.com/catalog/product/view/id/2321/
October 30, 201511 yr Author 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.
November 9, 201511 yr Author 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
November 10, 201511 yr Can someone explain to me why it matters if it is lubed or not? Serious question, I'm obviously missing something. Great deal. I pay 3x that for BCG except for one upper. But I don't buy mystery bolts except for that one.
November 10, 201511 yr Author 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.
November 15, 201510 yr Author 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!!
November 20, 201510 yr Based on specs these look the same for $10 less, please correct me if wrong. http://palmettostatearmory.com/catalog/product/view/id/2321/ Back down to $69.99
November 30, 201510 yr Author 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
December 7, 201510 yr Author And now on "Christmas Sale" for $99...LOL that is funny! http://palmettostatearmory.com/catalog/product/view/id/2321/
February 5, 20179 yr Author 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

February 6, 20179 yr 500 rds thru mine using all types of .223/5.56..runs well Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
February 8, 20179 yr I have a couple of these as spares. They are all HPT/MPI, and mine came with the Premium logo. All of mine came unlubricated. No worries, I soaked them in a bit of Mobil1, and they are smooth as silk.

February 10, 20179 yr Just to be clear, do you mean literally soaked in motor oil? I got a dry bolt and not sure how to prep it. You can dunk it in motor oil if you want. Won't hurt it. I put the BCG in a plastic bag after rubbing down with Mobil 1. I'll pour a little bit of extra oil in the bag, purge the air out of the bag, and seal it up. It is stored like that. I'll clean it off when I'm ready to use it...
February 11, 20179 yr I soaked the whole carrier group in FP-10 overnight. These BCG's work very well.
February 15, 20179 yr Author 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
February 16, 20179 yr I ordered one last week. Came today. Looks like it just had a few little blemishes. Nothing anyone would see or matter much. Its gtg
February 17, 20179 yr Not like anyone would notice a blemish on a Bcg after it's had a few hundred rounds through it anyway. As long as it functions correctly....
