Curious how many of AR owners on THR have swapped out their factory BCG's for aftermarket BCG's, and what the general consensus is on exotic BCG finishes?
Young Manufacturing, Fail Zero, Spikes Tactical all offer some sort of hard chrome or non-lubricant surface treatments. Even BCM offers an ionbond BCG.
Are these things worth the money, or are they more bling/hype than they are worth? Is there really a difference in reliability or accuracy? Is anyone actually running any of these? The price differences between these BCG's and standard mil-spec BCG's is large, so it would be nice to get some legitimate feedback on these things. How would a failzero BCG equipped AR compare to a piston driven system for reliability?
Opinions please!!!
