It's Out! The Film Rust

From the l.a.times rag....
Insurance settlements also required the film to be distributed, according to people close to the production. Proceeds will help fund the settlement of a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Hutchins’ husband, Matthew, who became an executive producer of the movie, and their son.
So proceeds are going to pay the lawsuit its not like baldfuck is doing it out of the kindness of his black heart.

That's just it. Skating on responsibility, and passing the burden on the viewers of the movie instead of himself.

Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

That’s very interesting for me. I have maybe a dozen rifles running BCM bolts, 4 of them SBRs, and have had zero bolt or bolt carrier related issues over 10+ years. Oldest one is more than 15 years old at this point, and has had the rings, etc. replaced at least 4 times…may have even swapped in a new BCM bolt at some point, but honestly don’t recall.

Those guns all get between 1-2K rounds run through them every year (each). Not a heavy firing schedule by any means, but enough to reveal any major issues for sure. We switched all the ranch guns to BCM bolts specifically because we saw some issues with other brands, and the BCM bolts just plain worked.

I wonder if BCM had a bad run of keys, or if the flat area where the key sits on the carrier wasn’t machined flat, or hell, maybe something as dumb as not being torqued to spec. Regardless, if you had that many issues, that points to a QC failure, not a one-off mechanical or material failure.

Were all yours made/purchased around the same time? Were they on different guns, or the same gun over a period of time? Wondering if something in the upper was stressing the gas key if it was on the same gun. Edit: re-read your post and see they were on different guns.

And again, I’m again amazed at the knowledge contained in this community…good to get new information and different perspectives!

And time for me to check all the guns! Microbest or maybe FCD just for the logo, LoL, may be getting a fair sized order soon!

I’ve never had any problems with BCM bolts. I have an 11.5" BCM upper that I ran hard, eventually shot out the barrel. When I swapped in a new Daniel Defense barrel, the original bolt still looked great, though I retired it at that point.

I bought that upper in 2014, and it started showing issues after about 1,000 rounds. The other two BCGs I purchased were from between 2015 and 2018. When I spoke with Chad at SOTAR about the issues, he mentioned there had been a couple of production runs where the gas key leaked and it was not something they were QC'ing at the time. Getting BCM to even acknowledge the issue was a hassle. When they finally replaced the BCGs, they didn’t provide any details about what was wrong, even after follow up.

That was also around the time Will Larson began working with Sionics to develop a perfectly in-spec AR and BCG. After the experience with BCM, it didn’t make sense to buy from them again, especially with companies like Sionics and now SOLGW committed to high standards.

ETA - they were all in different uppers.

Oh Canada


Doubt he cares. His real goal is to destabilize the country to further the WEF's goal of a single world government. Same thing is happening in the UK and Australia.

Maggie’s Best Guitar Solo

What’s best is subjective. I listen to a lot of different players but 90% of the time if I’m picking an artist to listen to then it’s probably SRV or Led Zeppelin. What’s the best from them? All of it! If I’m playing guitar then I’ll likely play OTHAFA sometime within the first fifteen minutes. I absolutely love playing that song. That and Lenny.

Best AR-15/M16 Bolt Carrier Group For The Money…Who Ya Got??

I have had more issues with BCM BCGs than any other brand. A total of 3 carriers going down, 1 in a BCM gun, and 2 carriers in other guns. All were SBRs, and all were leaky keys. BCM did replace them all after a lot of coaxing (1 time had to get Pat Rogers involved), but I will never buy another.

Old Colt, Sionics and SOLGW make probably the best in spec carriers you can get.

Suppressors First Suppressor - PTR

Well just get into the research and see what will work for you. Lots of can makers so just go with one with a good rep and product that will do what you need. Don’t get in analysis paralysis and hung up on super quiet as none are super quiet with supersonic rifle rounds. Even my flow through are plenty quiet on my bolt gun compared to the non flow Dead Air Nomad TiXC, which is a little quieter, but all quieter than a brake. lol 😉
