This video features Mike Mihalski, founder of Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW), discussing the critical role of the AR-15 bolt-carrier group (BCG). Mihalski emphasizes SOLGW's "return to fundamentals" approach, focusing on creating a robust, mil-spec BCG with reinforced common failure points rather than innovative but potentially less reliable features. He highlights the importance of materials like Carpenter 158 steel and traditional phosphate finishes, and explains the correct procedures for high-pressure testing and magnetic particle inspection, advocating for proven designs over unproven "new and exotic" materials that could lead to brittleness. The discussion aims to educate viewers on what makes a high-quality and reliable BCG.

This guide, presented by School of the American Rifle, details common AR-15 bolt failures, including cracks at the cam pin hole and broken locking lugs. It emphasizes thorough inspection during cleaning to identify potential issues like warping that can cause firing pin binding, leading to 'click no bang' malfunctions. Proper maintenance can prevent catastrophic failures in the field.

This guide, presented by the Tactical Toolbox host, details how to select the best Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) for an AR-15. It covers essential considerations like steel types (8620, Carpenter 158, 9310, S7), coatings (Phosphate, NiB, DLC), quality control (HP/MPI), and critical maintenance like gas key staking. The host emphasizes understanding M16 vs. AR-15 profiles and highlights advanced features in premium models, offering practical advice for builders and owners.
