Winner winner, chicken dinner! Yep, good old fashioned hard chrome is still my first choice. It is easier to clean…bolt tail still requires a little elbow grease but does clean up quicker.
I have yet to try or hear of a coating/treatment that requires a simple wipe-off of the bolt tail (which to me is the “challenge” in cleaning a bolt) but have a Cryptic Coatings Mystic Black complete BCG dipped in EWL and in a gallon zip-lock. Brand new, haven’t used it yet but there is a guy on here who has one and swears he can chip the carbon off with his fingernail. Someday I’ll find out…
IMHO when guys on here talk about one company making bolts/carriers to different specs depending on what the buyer was requiring, it makes me think Toolcraft sounds like a good example of such a company. Runs the gamut from Mil-spec/cage coded stuff to ones with different coatings and 9310 bolts, etc.
To be sure, I haven’t heard anything but good about Toolcraft, though YMMV.
POF Ultimate Bolt Carrier Group & LWRCI DI Bolt Carrier Group. Both are machined from a solid piece of alloy steel, eliminating the need to stake the gas key and deleting the ability for gas key screws to come loose under operation.
I don’t know if we’ve ever had definitive confirmation that Colt outsources their BCG’s. I’ve heard and seen evidence both ways. This particular BCG is not as refined as the BCM Mircro’s I’ve used. Rougher texture to the internal CL portion in which the Bolt reciprocates.
Actually, he’s been banned multiple times before. He’s the ever-popular Paul McCain, aka amsdorf. I think we’ve banned him seven times now? Or maybe eight?
Paul, this time we just let you stick around long enough for you to show your ass. Which you predictably did.
I do think it’s very sad that a reverend like you constantly feels the need to cheat and deceive. But how else will you keep up that constant shit-stirring you like to do?
Bye again, Paul. We always find you, and we always ban you.
