I use them in two different rifles.
My 7.62x25 Tokarev AR since surplus Tok ammo is all corrosive. 
My Dad's period correct M16 clone I'd built for him based on his rifle he was issued in 1968. 
Other than that, it DOES make it easier to clean...but it's mostly bling. |

YNM FTW There's your answer OP. Get a Young's National Match. They're designed a bit differently with increased bearing surface (supposedly to decrease slop and result in more consistent bolt alignment for increased accuracy). Les Baer Custom BCGs use the YNM carrier too. |

I have a Youngs chrome BCG in one of my ARs. It is easier to clean. It's a nice BCG and might be worth a few extra bucks for convenience, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get another chrome, nickel boron, or nickel teflon coated one. I think they look kinda goofy on all black or subdued colored rifles, too. I like BCM BCGs.

I had to use CLP and wipe and scrape and what not to get the carbon off my standard M16 BCG. With my Fail Zero, not only does it look and feel better, but I don't have to lube my rifle, and when I get home, I just grab a couple paper towels and easily wipe away the carbon.

The only reason that I have one is because it came stock with my RRA NM. It is easier to clean, and because I am lazy, I will put them in any future builds. I'm not going to retrofit my existing ARs with them though. THIS! I have one because it came in my RRA NM rifle too. Since then, I have decided that I really really like it. It is much easier to clean than a standard parkerized BCG. Saves a lot of time when cleaning after each match! I am in the process of getting my AR rebarreled, and I bought a chrome bolt for the new barrel just for the ease of maintenance. Matt |

I bought one from Fulton Arms.
What a pile of shit. I had to return it two times before they admitted that the plating made the carrier "thicker" and that it could be a "problem". I sold it to a guy on the EE, he bought it even after I told him of the issues. He put it in an Oly upper, I guess it worked for him. |
