I'm gathering parts to build a new upper. So far, I've picked up a Vltor MUR, Troy 15" SDMR, and a Wilson Combat 18" Recce Match barrel.
I'm leaning towards a Failzero BCG and am wondering if anyone here has experience with these products. Thanks. |
| I have one it works. I have had no problem with mine in 2 years+. Would I buy another one, nope. I paid $200 for it. I can buy a phosphate spikes or even a BCM for less. At the end of the shooting day, all of these BCG's clean up nearly the same. I can completely clean them with a Hoppes oiled wet wipe, comes in a plastic container made for lubrication, not particularly a solvent. Now 3-6 months later with baked on crust, I have no idea, because I am not one that can let his equipment sit around and be filthy for months at a time. I shoot I clean. I might shoot two days in a row and then clean but none the less. I find the nickle boron was simply not worth the extra expense for me. YMMV. good luck with your choice, mine works well, as far as function. |
I speculate that lubricant choice may play a significant role in NiB discoloration or staining. I'm running a full synthetic diesel motor oil and wipe and relube at the end of each shooting session. Only takes a few minutes. I stopped round count on the WMD BCG at around the time this photo was taken. Somewhere around 1200-1300 rounds. I know that's not much, but it seems to be almost pristine. The oil is Shell Rotella T6 5w40. It is also inexpensive at $6 a quart, which may last a lifetime. Maybe it will eventually stain, but no sign yet.

I have had one for years I have beat up very well. It was the first nibx coated carrier I ever owned and I am on around 4k rounds and when I had it get really stained I took a scotchbrite pad to it and it looked like brand new..
Nothing but a great experience here with mine. |
