Trybe BCG and Other Products - shannerdrake - 02-05-2021
Hello All, new to the forum, this is my second post so I apologize if Ive posted on the wrong section.
Im in the middle of a my first ground-up build and Ive decided to have some fun with it and experiment. I am trying to keep my costs reasonable, but avoiding junk. Ive been selective on what Im spending my money on and did splurge on an AA 20in barrel ????.
My question is regarding BCG, Ive found a 6.5 BCG by Trybe that fits my current budget, but before pulling the trigger, I want to see if anyone has experience/thoughts on Trybe? Theres just not much info on them on the web. Other than being a milspec carrier, I dont know a lot.
I should add that Im building a hunting rig so my ultimate goal is about 1MOA accuracy.

Never heard of them honestly.

Id never heard of Trybe Defense and a quick search shows they have an exclusive marketing agreement with Optics Planet. Optics Planet has got a poor reputation for not having products in stock with long delays in shipping. Optics Planet and BoTach seem to be in competition to see who can be the most frustrating for online consumers.
If I were betting Trybe is probably selling rebranded products just like Midway with AR Stoner, in essence another house brand only this time for Optics Planet. Personally Id be pretty hard up to buy anything from Optics Planet right now. If there are enough positive customer reviews on Trybe you might be a product tester for the rest of us, lol.
I doubt this BCG has anything new or different than any other generic AR-15 BCG with a 6.5 Grendel bolt.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe this is my ignorance, but Ive felt like a spec BCG is basically a spec BCG regardless of the brand name. Seems like you are saying basically the same thing.
Thanks for sharing your Optics Planet thoughts. Ive always been attracted to them due to their free shipping and KotaBoy32s 5% discount. I really struggle with paying shipping in this day and age. I think Amazon has ruined that for everyone!
Ive ordered a few things from them with this build and Ill post my experience on timeliness of shipping.

Thanks! This looks like the best price Ive seen outside of the Trybe.

Go with the Aimsurplus, you will have it in a couple of days...the other place who knows when you'll see it.

Excellent feedback and you are correct. I ordered the in stock Trybe along with a few other items and then two days later received notification that the other items were shipping soon separate from the BCG which would ship in 6-8 months.
I ordered the AIM today and cancelled the Trybe immediately.

^^^ Classic. I was pulled in by a "stock" item at OP last year. Eventually just bought something else from somewhere else and cancelled my OP order.
