Used to be able to buy them new for $175. Now I can’t find them, except for SAW and I could part out a new Colt for less than that.
I think the real question is…does it have to be Colt? They are so damn expensive and from what I have seen of Daniel Defense and BCM they are every bit as good.
I say follow Iraqgunz advice…DD and BCM BCG’s are first rate.
But if you gota have a Colt BCG here is the best price Ive seen…that said I aint looked hard though.

Unless it was going into a COLT gun, I’d go with a BCM bolt group.
The only bcgs I currently run are colt’s and bcm’s…that said, I honestly believe the Colt is worth paying the extra for. I do not believe colt makes the best anything anymore except for the F/A full circle BCG …just to point out I am not a colt fanboy. Both are top notch.
It has to be a Colt because Ken Elmore isn’t going to work on anything else.
I just don’t want to pay him what he wants for a BCG.
no… you’re an LMT fanboy, so what you got against their BCGs? LMT is the only manfer recessing behind their lugs. a radius is a lot stronger than a 90, and easier to keep clean. most lug breakage is caused by pitting behind the lungs
my opinion, putting an LMT bolt in a BCM carrier creates the best BCG you can have
We sell them for $189, but are out of them currently.

Grant, couldn’t find them on your site, was hoping for email notification. I will check back occasionally.
Why does Ken need to work on it? Or… is there an existing problem that you need looked at? or is it for future potential issues?
I took a broken Colt carrier group to SAW and the told me it was fine. :rolleyes: Ended up pulling the key off myself and Scottsdale gun club repaired it for me.
Would you mind expounding on this?
Ken Elmore of SAW ?
getting a reliability upgrade perhaps?
you won’t find a new Colt bcg for $175 on this planet. get a BCM and call it a day. you’ll never know the difference. since there isn’t any.
What did SGC do to it?
The only place I know of,

be prepared to pay!:shout:
Uh…I posted a link to the Colt BCG on GRT’s web site in my previous post above.
Blankwaffe, no idea how I missed that, thank you.
As to why I want a Colt: I have enough parts to send them in and have Ken make me a Lightweight Operator, except I am short a bolt carrier group. So, I need a Colt part as he doesn’t work on others.
I know BCM/LMT etc are just as good and if Ken wasn’t doing the work I’d use one of them.
buy a mil-spec black one… I could be wrong (and probably am since I have never had a Colt BCG in my hand) but I don’t think the Colts… say Colt anywhere on them. If thats the case how the hell would he know?
Colts have a C on them.
