BAD-EBCG-M16 Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group – Full Auto

The Battle Arms Development BAD-EBCG-M16 Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group is now available. This new carrier boasts some interesting features that Battle Arms Development claims will improve its function over a standard BCG.

The new bolt carrier geometry was designed to reduce carrier tilt and the key bearing surfaces are relocated to increase reliability. Having fewer points of contact and an ultra-hard & lubricious black nitride surface layer reduce friction and improves function.

Specs:

  • Bolt Carrier: 8620 Steel Case Hardened, Machined from Billet, Laser Engraved Logo
  • Firing Pin:  8740 Steel, Centerless Ground, Hard Chromed
  • Gas Key:  4130 Steel with Grade 8 Screws, Properly Staked, Machiend from Billet
  • Cam Pin:  4340 Hardened Steel
  • Finish:  Black Nitride finished with an ultra-hard, corrosion resistant top surface layer for wear resistance and minimal need for lubricants.  Most importantly, Black Nitride is a surface conversion process with little to no surface build-up (1-2 microns) keeping critical tolerances precise, unlike NiB, Hard Chrome, etc. which are additive and will alter the dimensions of the steel.
  • Bolt:  9310 Steel, Cased Hardened, Shot Peened, Mil-Spec Dimensions, CNC Ground After Heat Treat, Black Nitride Finished
  • Extractor:  4340 Steel, Manganese Phosphate Finished for Positive Grip (no slippery finish)

Strike Hard Gear SKS Buttstock Pouch

While many of us are busy building slick AR-15 builds, there are still plenty of good folks out there happy to hunt and defend their homes with the good old SKS. Maybe it is what they can afford or maybe they just like them. Either way, at least they are armed.

A friend of the blog who dearly loves his SKS recently asked me if I knew of a way to carry extra ammo (preferably in stripper clips) on his SKS hunting/truck rifle. He was having trouble finding any SKS support gear locally. I told him that I wasn’t sure but I suspect Strike Hard Gear would have a solution. Sure enough, they make an SKS Buttstock Pouch that holds 3 stripper clips. He purchased one and is very happy with it.

The Strike Hard Gear SKS Buttstock Pouch is designed to hold 3 10 round SKS stripper clips, fully covered, on the buttstock of your rifle. The pouch threads onto the buttstock in such a way that sling swivels are still usable. He reports that his reloads are faster now that the stripper clips are on the gun rather that in a pocket and that the quality is excellent.

I don’t write this to say that the SKS is the ultimate rifle but it should warm anyone’s heart to know that there are gear makers out there supporting affordable rifles with good quality gear.
