...Toms Tactical has Toolcraft (made in Marion NC) bolt carrier groups on sale for $64.95 with free shipping. These are very nice BCGs and Toolcraft stands by their products...

Toms Tactical also has a really nice nickel Teflon trigger group at a good price...the one I installed is smooth with no grittiness and breaks clean at a little over 6#...I'm ordering another...

They ship quick too...my last order from them was made on a Sunday and in my mailbox the following Thursday.

I know they have been active for awhile in the production of military contract BCGs as well as various "private labels", Spikes being one IIRC...as well as Ruger (their AR556 is made in NC)...

Tom's Tactical is one of my go-to places for AR parts. They have a limited selection of items, but on the things they stock, they usually have the lowest prices online.

I've been very happy with the Nickel Teflon trigger groups I've gotten from Tom's. Same as the Nickel Boron or Teflon coated "Enhanced Triggers" offered by a number of other manufacturers, at a lower price. I can't tell a difference between my $38 Tom's Enhanced Triggers and my $69 ALG ACT triggers.

The bolt is 9310.
Isn't milspec Carpenter 154?

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

Even though 9310 is not mil-spec...Faxon put out a blog reply from questions on why they chose to use 9310 instead of Carpenter 158 mil-spec in their bolts...pretty interesting short read

The last toolcraft BCG I bought was excellent so Toms Tactical has become the recipient of my money and of course I had to add a few more items that no one else seemed to stock. Shipping was fast, ordered on Tuesday and got the order today.

How do you guys justify a spare bcg??!!!

Every spare bcg I had ends up turning into a new rifle.

So I stopped buying spare bcgs.

I still have three stripped lowers collecting dust and trying not to have them turn into new rifles.

Page bookmarked but doing my best not to look at their site

Not minority enough!

There has not been and probably won't ever be a better time to build ARs.

The one I ordered on the 13th arrived on the 15th (USPS). I'll drop it into a rifle one of these next few days and go put just a few rounds through it to verify function, but it looks good.

Yeah. I broke down and bought one. Will use the bolt as a spare for 5.56 and use the carrier on a 6.x build. Haven't decided if I want to do 6.5 or 6.8. will be strictly for suppressed plinking since I am resisting going to .308 but want to use my .30 cal can on something other than 300blk and 5.56.
