| How many here use them? I switched over to them a couple years ago. Much easier to clean and smoother cycling, even when manually cycling by hand. |

We've been using an ASA chrome BCG since 1996, its held up good, it is easier to keep clean. The most rounds I've fired through it without cleaning was 5000 and it was just fine, it sits in a target setup.
I did just purchase an harbor freight ultrasonic cleaner to speed the cleaning process up, makes a huge difference. |

I feel like a Nancy boy for cleaning mine after every range trip. 
After buying mine and using it I couldn't understand why they aren't more popular. I've heard the myths about the plating flaking off but I've never met anyone that actually happened to, just heard it from someone type of thing. |

There were some Arf threads about it happening with various coatings, but I don't think it was ever a problem with certain manufacturers. I think they're advantageous in most every way, just be sure to do the research before you buy. Some of the posts I've seen boo-hoo-ing them as "AR Jewelry" actually have people recommending the "original" phosphate BCG, when the original wasn't phosphate at all, but Hard Chrome. |

I've seen plenty of pics of vintage M16's with chrome BCG's. |

I've always used chrome bolts and carriers. Since 1982 when I bought my first 2 AR-15's. A rifle and a carbine. They were common back then at military surplus stores. I'm scared to ask how much they were back then. I'll probably get sick, but I just gotta know. |
