Is there a reform school for bad AR BCG's?
I have unknown brand Parked .223 / 5.56 BCG. Bolt is stamped MPI. BCG came as part of complete upper package. I have been using it with a 1 x 9 .223 Wylde 16" barrel with lackluster results.
A couple of weeks ago I brought a Aero Precision Black Nitride MPI/HPI tested BCG for my current build #3. Since I still need a few more parts for it until I can shoot it I decided to try the Aero Precision BCG with the Wylde barrel. What a difference. Groups have tightened up considerably. I am happy with the improvement.
So now I am trying to figure out what to do with the Parked BCG. The Aero Precision BCG is going to stay with the .223 Wylde barrel so I will probably put it in build #3 temporarily so I can use for testing after I complete the build.
Will a BCG that performs poorly in one AR deliver better accuracy in another one? The .223 Wylde is 1 x 9 and build #3 is 5.56 1x 9. Same twist just different chambers. Or should this BCG be confined to the parts drawer for use only as a back-up if the others have a problem?
