I am not saying that you could not figure it out, but when I see your post asking someone to clarify what a BCG is, i would say that you are a true novice and if you want to enjoy your rifle have it built or by one that is factory built.

Your first AR, you are not even sure what a full auto or semi auto BCG is, I liken this to a first time skydiver wanting to pack his own chute. Dangerous and a waste of money, FTF, FTE, hangfires and any number of other likely and highly dangerous situations are in your future. I think your are unnecessarily placing yourself and others that may be at the range with you in jeopardy.

If you are going to build it yourself get with someone who has at least done them successfully.

you cannot not be building your rifle with a full auto BCG. this is for a select fire build full auto, federally controlled part. please dont continue in this endeavor
WTF indeed. Untrue, bad advice. STFU and take a chill pill.

Hangfires from a choice of BCG?

novice shooter, Ar owner, too many questions to be had for this guy to even attempt this, Looking at parts that are illegal to build with. Am i the only one here that wants to discourage him?

Just to clarify for others, i understand that legality depends on how the rest of the gun is built.
There you go again with the "illegal" parts. Who's the novice?

The implication that a FA BCG is going to somehow make a weapon potentially "illegal" is laughable at best.

legality aside we are encouraging a guy that obviously has no clue what he is doing. sorry i dont mean to be an ass, but you can bet that i do not want to be standing next to him on the range when his weapon fails. thinks a full auto BCG is just more durable.

it may be more durable, that would depend on the manufacturer,

i read through the posting and it seems that this is just a bad idea without some competent supervision. i have owned an ar for at least 5 years and can take them apart and put them back together easily, i am extremely mechanical have built cars and houses from scratch. i would still want a professional to put my rifle together.

I guess it would be different if he had more of an idea of what a BCG was in the first place.
You are being an ass. Instead of offering constructive criticism and trying to be helpful, you are coming down hard on a new member that's just trying to learn. If you don't have something positive to add, STFU and let someone else help.

The real irony is your own lack of knowledge.
