AR15 service rifle BCG ?

[widowmaker223]

Never got around to finishing my AR15 build before KE arms bought out Young manufacturing. I've been stalling bc I wanted to use the Young national match bolt carrier group w side charging handle. These were tapered anti-tilt chrome carriers.
What BCG groups are the service rifle competitors & precision/match AR guys using now instead of the Young ntl match?
Not interested in the KE Arms version !

I don't know the answer for the majority of shooters but me personally, for Service Rifle I'm using an M16 style carrier, maker unknown, with anti-tilt pads (screws) installed as per Joe Carlos's method as described in a u-toob video. Let me see if I can find a link.

It does seem to make a difference, along with using shim stock to tighten the barrel/upper receiver interface.

edit; link to video added. At about 4:30 in the video he mentions three makers of match bolt carriers.

A side charging handle would not be legal in a service rifle. Nearly any bolt carrier group will work just fine. I like Rock River parts. My original service rifle with over 35000 rounds on it has the original Colt carrier.

Any M16 ( heavier “auto” ) BCG will work for Service rifle for single load “heavy” bullets at 600. Way more working against you than BCG tilt and the target is relatively huge.

Any bolt and carrier will work as long as it's decent quality and the gas key is well staked. I don’t really think the semi-auto version is an issue either. If you can get a chromed one, do that. Cleanup is much easier and you can save that time for practicing offhand.

Don't waste your money on a Young. As others have said, any good quality m16 bcg will work. I run an Aero Pro.

If you miss the 10 ring in service rifle matches it’s because you pointed the rifle in the wrong place. It’s not the rifle.

Yep, thats the video I was looking for ! Young actually made those carriers for Les Baer. I believe there's a Robert Whitley article on here & he used a Young NM also. I guess I'll go JP enterprise. I like that tapered, heavy up front, anti tilt design.
