[QUOTE="mmchambers06, post: 767942, member: 4445"] I run LMT BCG's in all of my ARs. After that you don't have to worry about the top half of the chart. Keep the "take-off" BCG as a backup. $130 well spent. 4150 steel? As long as the barrel is a decent manufacturer and you aren't running full auto, I wouldn't worry too much. 1/7? Necessary or desirable? Not if all you shoot is 55gr. & 62gr. For a fun gun, I'll take 1/9" any day of the week. 4150 steel? Do I need it? Unless you have an M16 lower and plan on dumping 5 mags as fast as you can, it shouldn't make a difference to you. I have found that most of the problems in my cheapo AR's (i.e.: kit guns) to be the bolt group's fault. So basically, take the chart with a (several) grain(s) of salt. Understand how the gun operates and what your requirements are. Then buy something that does what you want it to do. Just as important as the specs is how you treat it, anyways. ETA: Go stag.
