Ok, so here is a strange question for you: I asked my brother what he most wanted for his birthday and he said just that: "A bolt carrier group would be nice." Now here is the problem: I don't know what that is. Yes, I searched it on google, yes I found a picture in image search, and no, even looking at it I have no idea in the world where you would buy one or what exactly it is. Anyone know what I should do?

Sorry if I couldn't be of much help and hope all works out :) [ maly's advice column | Ask maly A Question ]

Once you have this information it is a simple matter of going online or a guns store to make the purchase. Be aware that these items do not come cheap. depending on the type of rifle he has the cost start in the $200 and up bracket. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
DemiGoddess94 answered Tuesday April 8 2014, 8:22 am: The bolt carrier group is the part of a gun that forces expanding gases to push the bullet down the barrel and out the muzzle. The firing pin is typically part of the bolt group. However, some firearms, such as a break-open shotgun, simply have a firing pin and not a bolt group. Other guns like bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, and automatic rifles have bolt groups that are a moving assembly of parts.Just ask him exactly what kind of bolt carrier group he needs, and you should surely be able to find one in a gun store, or online at Amazon.com or Ebay.com [ DemiGoddess94's advice column | Ask DemiGoddess94 A Question ]
