Anyone get their BCG coated by WMB, NiBX?

I have read the stories of Nib coated BCG’s, however, have you guys had yours coated by them? I noticed their advertisement on here. But could not find a thread about people’s experience with them.

If I can win the cat and mouse game that has become of purchasing BCM BCG’s then I am thinking of getting that one coated by WMB.

Either buy a NiBx BCG directly from WMD or buy a BCM BCG and leave it alone. There may be tolerance issues if you try to coat another manufacturers BCG. Im not sure if WMD will coat someone elses BCG anyway.

They do do coatings if you send in the BCG. And that is a issue I was concerned with! Thank you!

I always buy extra of everything. So in 10 plus years, if SHTF I will have enough lube to last a lifetime! Or even sooner, I think I will be good.

But not to worry about lube will be great. I’ve jammed my gun a lot running it dirty and dry, but, I ALWAYS carry a little vile of EWL or LP in my grip!

Still need to properly lube the NiBx BCG’s from my experience. I’ve been running them for the past few years. The main benefits in my view is that it does reduce friction when properly lubed, will run longer without additional lube, and it cleans up easier.

Thanks for the feedback. I was under the impression that lube is ideal, however, they can go without if need be.

What kinds of NiB BCG’s have you used?

They seem very interesting to me, and promising, if I can get a high quality BCG, like a BCM, coated in it. I’ve read some problems with FZ BCG’s, like head space, improper staking, bolt not locking forward, or something of that nature, etc.

For me, the products I buy for my guns is to increase my confidence with the carbine. That I know the parts will work, how they will work, and what it takes for them to fail. The times I jammed my gun without lubing was on purpose, except one time when I was zeroing my Aimpoint- that was due to being a idiot and forgetting to lube.

I am looking at the NiB coating not because “its cool and new, and SHINY,” but because I want to have it so that if lubing was forgotten after heavy shooting, like in a SHTF scenario, or if lube was not present, I know the gun will run until I can find some.

Like I tell my friend: “Grandpa always said, when in doubt lube it!”

How big of a battle do you plan to get into? I’ve run 750 rounds between lubing just using car motor oil. Buying a coated BCG just because you “might” not have access to lube seems awful silly.

Well, just worst case scenario where SHTF and lube is longer available for some reason. Who knows what can or will happen? And if things get bad like I think they will, that “might” is huge.

But I may just save the money to buy gun oil.

I just received my BCG and trigger group back from WMD last week. The nickel boron is great. Customer service is pretty good. When I received my parts back, they forgot to send back my dissconnect to my trigger group. A little slow to respond back , but I’m thinking it was because it was thanksgiving day week/weekend. I did get it back though. Everything looks great and I love easier cleanup.

And the bcg that I had coated was a BCM. I like where your heads at :wink:

Did it screw with the tolerances? No headspace issue or anything? Was the performance worth the money? And how much was it if you do not mind me asking? I did not see on the site.

Sorry for the 21 questions :wink:

No the tolerances are fine. The money is worth it to me for a couple reasons. For one… Anything that can making cleaning easier is worth it (Time is money to me). Plus knowing that If I can run it without lube (which I would never do If I can help it) I could. Also I know I’ve done the best thing I can do to prevent corrosion. Things are worth paying for a peace of mind for me. The performance is great so far. With the trigger group also coated the trigger seems smoother. Everything is smoother. The order form is on the website. But for the BCG which includes the hammer it costs $100.00 . Also, don’t listen to people that say “I’ve never ran out of lube between rounds so you don’t need to have it coated and just spend the money on extra lube”. Well hold on and let me adjust my tin foil hat for a second and say I prepare for when things and supplies may not be so readily available… feel me?? So you have to decide how much you want to prepare your weapon. So yes it is worth it.

You think the same as me, peace of mind is priceless! I may just do it. I really want to try it, but knowing me I’d want to put the new BCG in my gun right away while the old one is still good. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well I if I can I will get both coated. Or may just keep the old one as is. Its flawless so far. Just needs lube, like every AR.

Did you purchase the NiB firing pin? It says to take it out on their site. I was wondering if they will coat it if you send it, probably not, I guess.

wow you do think like me. I have a Daniel Defense V3. I picked up a BCM bcg to have coated though to make sure It was all it was cracked up to be. The DD and BCM bcg seems to be of the same quality… hell they may be the exact same thing. I wanted to have something on the same quality level as what I had so I could try the NIB-x on it’s full merit. But now I have a fantastic Nib-x coated BCM bcg and superb quality DD bcg as a back up. It’s a win, win.

Yeah, thanks for your help. I just may do it. But got a new idea, I will get my old one coated, so I can test it out, if I like it then the new BCG will get coated :smiley:

Sounds like a plan. You just have to get up the nerve to pull the trigger on it. Good luck

No tolerance issues. They coated my BCM bcg and trigger group.

you’re not vapor trail are you?

You know you can literally piss in your rifle to keep it running.
The cost of the unnecessary coating could help pay for a class or more ammo.

Priorities.

lol! (See sig)
