And I totally agree!!! Thanks!!! Can you please point me to a website that has them in stock??? Ok, now let's talk about upgraded ones for those of us that would like to purchase something now. Not trying to be Richard Cranium here but you can't get a Bravo company right now or anything else similar, what's the next best thing. I already bought but maybe someone else would like to know...

The thing is about these hyped BCGs, many times you are paying twice as much but actually downgrading. I'd get on BCM's mailing list and jump on it when they notify you. Since you already have a BCG it's not like you have to have it yesterday.

How much is the Black Rain and what to they claim?

Actually I don't already have a BCG, that's why I ordered the black rain. It's just over $200, I know it's expensive but better than nothing at all. I will be completing my rifle before Christmas and didn't want a thousand dollar paper weight...

Sorry, I thought you had one already.

I looked at the BR, they're short on specs but it looks pretty good and you're desperate. This is a tough time to find a milspec BCG and ROGTAC will treat you right so let us know what you think of the BR. I'm not expecting any trouble but I do think we're talking snake oil and country club BCGs.

By great specs, I'm thinking of what BCM publishes (below) and wonder why the "upscale makers are so silent when it comes to specs":

•Milspec Carpenter No. 158® steel
•HPT Bolt (High Pressure Tested/ Proof)
•MPI Bolt (Magnetic Particle Inspected)
•Shot Peened Bolt
•Chrome Lined Carrier (AUTO)
•Chrome Lined Gas Key
•Gas Key Hardened to USGI Specifications
•Grade 8 Hardened Fasteners
•Key Staked Per Mil-Spec
•Tool Steel Extractor
•BCM Extractor Spring
•Black Extractor Insert
•Mil-Spec Crane O-Ring

Just sign up for the email notice on the BCM (or other) BCG. They go into stock often so if you pay attention to your email you should be able to snag one soon. Even allot of the coated ones are out of stock often as well.
