Like the title states, I'm looking for a chrome carrier.  I'd take a chrome bolt too but the bolt MUST be MPI tested.  I have a BCM carrier and bolt but I am going to be using a Noveske switchblock and I'd really like to be able to see how much less crap is entering my chamber and upper when running suppressed.  I'll undoubtedly get a ton but the chrome will at least make it easier to clean.



Denny used to have Young NM carriers with an MPI tested bolt for $165 but now it looks like all that's offered is a $225 fully chromed set up.  




Who else makes them?  Stainless steel would also work.  I just can't find them anywhere for a decent price.

You might look into those coated & sold by FailZero/UTC. Their improved nickle boron coating is much slicker, harder, & adheres much better than chrome. They buy their BCGs from a company that builds parts for a military rifle contract, so they are very good. A drawback is that the process doesn't create a perfectly uniform color, but it works.

Midway DPMS and Les Baer.  Les Baer's are made by YOUNG.  Pricey but very well done.  You can also special order just the chromed carrier (DPMS) through Brownells.
