    The PSA NiB BCG is the same price. Is this one better?

    I don't have any experience with the PSA NiB BCG. I prefer the Black Nitride over the NiB just because I think it's a more durable coating. Not saying PSA, but some places don't do NiB right, or so I've read on the internet. :)

    On rails vs new stuff


    I've used both. Rails are nice because they are ready to mount pretty much anything you need.

    With KeyMod or M-lock I've found myself having to buy a rail section or whatever mount every time I want something on it.

    I'm not a super hispeed I've tactical type so it doesn't come up much, but it can be annoying having to spend $20 for a 2" rail section to mount a bipod.


    On the other hand, it's much more comfortable to hold without rails digging in to your hand and seems to fit the hand better. Most of the newer ones also allow mounts to be placed at offset angles without the added bulk of an offset mount.

    I think someone could be perfectly happy with either mounting system.

    My current rifle is Mlok and it's nice to hold but super annoying to mount stuff on. I plan on getting a vertical grip for this one. Try to copy a generic military style

    No idea, but they do sell out. I paid $99 for mine about 3 years ago.

    $76 is a good deal. But I might pass for now. I just dropped some coin on this upper and I'm a tight wad so I guess I'll be interchanging BCGs for now

    That's my opinion on them. If I needed or wanted more stuff mounted on it I'd probably have a preference for quad rails. If money didn't matter the new stuff would be great.

    The funny part is that the company that made my rifle. Didn't cut out the Mlok grooves wide enough. So you can't stick the T nut through. I had to hold the nut on the inside of the grip which was extremely hard

    I hope it's soon. I have ammo that needs a good home in a chamber
