I just talked with Tom and Jeremy at 762SASS.com. They have a "few" AR10 bolt carrier groups available.

And yes, I ordered one.

There's no problem with the one that I have and no, I'm not building a rifle.

I've only been involved with AR rifles for a few years and a close friend who has considerable experience with them recommended that I keep spare BCGs for all of the variants that I have. So, I have a complete BCG for my 5.56, a spare bolt for my 6.8 SPC, and will soon have a complete BCG for the AR10.

I guess it never hurts to have a spare but as long as you don't abuse it Armalite will take care of it for you, lifetime guarantee you know! :usa:

The bolts are a ware part and if you shoot a lot or shoot hot ammo a lot you can get lug cracking.

As far as I know the carrier is not, and I don't personally find the need for a spare complete carrier.

Any idea what a lot is? :unsure:
I asked once if there was a round count life expectancy on the bolt and never heard anything definitive. I was told if a lug broke or cracked and it didn't show excessive wear or neglect it would get fixed.

Asking about round count limit on firearm parts is like asking about miles on car parts. Mileage will tell you when to do basic oil changes and tuneups but the rest depends on how hard it was driven and what kind of roads it was on.

A spare bolt will keep you running while your old one is out for warranty.

That M16 A1 down in the arms room of A Co 1/41st Fusileers has literally tens of 1000's of rds put thru it and we rarely have to replace BCG's. And GI's are not noted for their high level of care of the training weapons.

In my exp BCG's rarely suffer issues, in fact they are quite reliable. As both a Bn and a Bde S-4 Logistics officer who signs off on requisitions and as the guy who manages the org log budget I would have noticed over my career excessive failures or been notified of issues...but never did.

The reason I keep a spare assembled BCG is speed. Carriers don't wear, and a spare bolt is plenty, but I have gotten used to the quick convenience of simply swapping the whole thing.
