I am not too concerned about the 9130 steel versus Carpenter 158, the mil-spec was written what, 50 years ago? Has it always been C-158? Because, dang a lot of things have changed in steel production in 50 years. Some one posted a link to toolcraft and several people agreed the BCG was good to go as it was 8620, with a C-158 bolt, yet the only bolts they sell as separate items are made of 9130. Just one example of many.
I have the Michigan MOAKS as well as numerous other cool guy tools for the AR - most of which I don't really need.
I've only been doing the AR build thing for about 4 years, so sometimes I still ask dumb stuff, I honestly didn't catch that the Brownells bolt carriers were semi-auto. That is the only thing that has me on the fence, and that is only because I may sell these builds and when I disclose that, some folks may shy away.
Ultimately I'll probably get the Brownells kits unless someone relates a bad experience.
Thanks for the advice.
The great thing about asking questions like this is you pick up stuff you didn't intend to - I've never used a couple of the places linked to, now I'll be checking them before purchases.
