Prime, Airsoft Surgeon, ILLusion Kinetics, RA-Tech, they're all good bolt carriers, and I doubt anyone's ever broken one before. But there is more to consider than just durability. For example, in any gas blowback system, weight of moving components (slides and bolt carrier groups) has pros and cons. ie, a heavy weight steel bolt carrier will blow back with incredible force and recoil feel, at the expense of gas and cycling speed. On the other hand, a light weight aluminum bolt carrier group cycles with great speed, fast rate of fire, low gas consumption, but at the expense of reduced recoil feel.

You need to figure out where you'd like to compromise to get a good balance. Also, some brands are better at providing a heavy recoil feel with fast rate of fire than some other brands.

Since if you build a Magna GBBR, let's say with G&P parts because they are most realistic and most durable (I don't know which brand is actually most durable, just making an example), and you ship in an outer barrel set, buffer tube, lower receiver set, won't some of these be siezed even if the customs person isn't a tottal dummy becuase they seem so realistic? Does the restricted item list get bigger with GBBR magna types?

Technically, it's just the receiver that would only be seized, but that doesn't mean an officer won't seize your shipment anyways, forcing you to go through an appeal process to get the items back. Agents do what they think is best, and when they're unsure about firearms components, there is a possibility they would rather be safe than sorry. In a worst case scenario, the RCMP can call you in and ask you questions on why you're bringing in firearm components when you do not have a firearms license nor have such firearms registered under your name (it's happened before.)

Prime & Inokatsu are closest to real steel spec.
