and thanks for putting out quality products that are AFFORDABLE! I was between LMT and AP and only leaning to LMT because they have the angled gas ports to blow suppressor gas away from your face. If Aero Precision makes an enhanced-PRO BCG basically adding the angled gas ports I would definitely purchase nothing but AP BCG's for every build! Is there any change this is already being discussed at Aero???

I had one of the Aero nickle BCG's and had an issue with the bolt. I contacted them and they sent me a 2day shipping label. Once they got it they confirmed the issue and replaced it. I had the replacement within a week and it now runs perfect. Sometimes customer service is everything when or if you need it. This issue showed me I made the right decision buying Aero and will continue because of that alone.

I worked in a radio station and “erased” commercial cart magnetic tape every day. An engineer taught me that the bulk of the demagnetization occurs when the object leaves the magnetic field. Instead of just sliding, add oval loops while moving left to right (like a bi-plane at an air show) so that the field is broken in multiple patterns.

I have to thank you for the educational value and professional presentation of your videos. I have a Springfield Saint .300 blk pistol that I have not even fired yet. I recently put a Q 7" tapered shoulder barrel on it for when my e-form 4 clears and I install a Trash Panda. Watching your videos has given me much needed insight. I have been examining various things as I gain knowledge and today 2/14/22 while examining things very close, I discovered the ejector roll pin was not seated correctly and was protruding out one side to the point where it has been making contact with the barrel extension lugs. I had to buy a few more things as being a retired professional mechanic doesn't mean I have the specific tools needed for gunsmithing, but I did buy what I needed to compress the ejector in and the correct punches, both of which I lacked. Edited 2/24/2022 To me this is just almost crazy. I had to wait to get a few more items, including my new 4oz hammer, the Brownells ejector tool, because that other thing I bought was crap, some specific punches and some new ejector roll pins. I also got my new Clymer go no/go gauges. In removing the ejector after removing the pin, the ejector was rather stuck and I had to grab it with some needle nose and really pull. After it came out and examining it with close-up magnified goggles, I discovered metal filings had been stuck in the ejectors slot for the roll pin then fell free once the ejector was pulled out. It was slightly magnetic and had some damaged edges from the filings which I cleaned up with a tiny file and made all nice but I was like, I'll be damned! I don't have a demagnetiser so it's just going to have to be for now but the go no gauges worked slick and the bolt carrier didn't lock forward on the no/go gauge but did with the go gauge.

Just a thought on demag'ing parts. The demagnetizer uses 60 cycles, standard Alternating Current frequency, to create a magnetic field that reverses 60 times a second. It you power down the device while still holding the part close by it you get that last, final magnetic field pulse and can actually magnetize the part you are trying to demag'. Move the part away from the machine and the demag' should hold.

Return was easy and replacement was fine. Headspace was tight enough that it would not close on GO gauge in a “match” chamber (read very tight). Barrel maker said it was less than 1 thousandth off and reamed the chamber very slightly for me. I am not complaining about the headspace - bolt and barrel makers were both trying to make it tight and tolerance stacking bit me.

For the firing pin tip examination perhaps using something like Silly Putty would be good for a reverse imprint..?

I have some Aero stuff and it's pretty good to go. I did have a bad customer service experience with them about 5 years ago.

Ever consider doing a physical on a Sig 516 and or 716? I have several of each that are like gen 1.5's. One is stated gen 2 . They have the newest bcg and gas and piston systems but still cheese grater 4 sided pic rails. Sig was kind of like Colt mixing and matching inventory when possible when transitioning generations. Mine are special order FDE models from the 4th Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division FT Stewart GA. BEAUTIFUL looking rifles with superb build quality throughout. I have 16 , 14.5 in 556 and 16 in the 308. I don't understand the hate for these fine firearms.

Being an advanced amateur photographer, may I offer some advise on the firing pin illumination capturing? When photographing or filming dark objects a dark/darkish background should be used. It is counter-intuitive I know, but it is so. It has to do with the way camera meters light. in that regard your grey table top is just right. just lay the pin on it and let the camera approach. And use side lighting always.

I've got to get a set of these gauges so I can do an autopsy and physical on my own BCGs.

Great content here, but I am biased toward AP and for good reason it seems. I hope their outstanding products are going to be around for many years to come. My bedside rifle is almost 100% Aero the rest being Wilson Combat trigger, magpul furniture and sling. I love AP as much as I love Magpul. Thanks again for the intel. God Bless America!

Wish I could say the same for Ballistic Advantage. In process of sending back my AR10 308 barrel and bcg. Bolt would not close on a clymer GO gauge. Unfortunately didn’t have the gauges when I built it. Having problems, bought the gauges and low and behold look what I found. Very disappointed, especially since I called BA when I ordered directly from them if they checked headspace when barrel and bcg purchased together. BA stayed no they don’t, requested they check it for my order, it was assured to me that their products are “in spec”. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, for now.

BA is likely using the same mfg. Who knows if they come from aero or if they get the aero "-no-go" batches. Rebranding in this industry is disgusting we should all advocate for companies being transparent and being up front about who makes stuff. I'm pissed at the garbage responses aero gave me when i asked who made this. I'm returning both of mine just because of their deceit and withholding of information in relation to a life-saving product.

@@adamkoltun4436 look at the forums and see how the top tier manufacturers are having crappy parts coming out. Talked with my local gunsmith and he is in agreement. So much pressure to get products out that they’re either using tooling longer than should be used or the QA process is lacking.

@@thomashanke6750 Hey thanks for the response! Yes it is a shame that QC has dropped. I even bought a Benelli m4 last year that looks like chicom garbage next to my older ones. Its a 2000$ paperweight. I have seen garbage coming from every company up to BCM and DD and Geissle even. The demand needs to not be met by lowering QC. From what I've gathered, all BA parts that are not barrels are Aero's no-go run off or extras which is what allowed that barrel company BBA) to offer the same aero products with a dif name on it. I also understand that all the Aero barrels are made by BA. Who do you think makes these BCGs? Aero commented publicly they are not toolcraft. Their CS team says they "cannot" disclose the mfg'r. Heartbreaking that arms companies are trending to selling their run-offs as rebrands. There should be up front transparency. Guns are now as bad as body armor in this sense. Whats even more pathetic is that people who bought something ignorantly will just get defensive rather than getting mad at the manufacturers that got over on them. People have brand loyalty to companies that are selling other peoples' stuff just with their name on it. All the spartan armor dummies will aggressively defend the brand not even knowing its RMA armor in their carriers.
