I run JP and BCM BCGs and decided to try the toolcraft NB coated one just for shits and giggles and because they seem to have a following.
I honestly am not impressed other than being easy to clean. It is getting replaced by a BCM and will be a spare BCG.
It is a great product and a quality product.
I am not impressed with the NB coating. I prefer JPs coating as I have no discoloring after ~900rds and built up carbon on my JP comes off with soaked rag after every outing. I have to scrap the NB coated bolt.
Functionally No issues as I said.
JP Bolt Dirty (~120rds FGMM/~1000rds on it total)
BN Coated Bolt Wiped down a few days ago (60rds FGMM/300rds on it total)

JP Bolt Partially Wiped Down Just Now
BN Coated Bolt Wiped down again

Hence I am unimpressed with BN BCG package.
Note within the carrier aswell using a dry napkin. Carbon doesn’t come off like they portray. Again unimpressed with BN.

As stated it is a spare on first post. As for why, because.
Scrap = scrape. Fixed.
I have a NiB bolt in the rifle I shoot most often.
After maybe 5 cleanings the coating lost a LOT of its slickness, lubricity & got darker in color.
It still cleans ok (I pretty much only clean it in an ultrasonic tank) but it feels like shark skin now.
I wouldn’t pay extra for it again.
I have heard not all NiB is created equal, Fail Zero and WMD are supposed to be the best. I think this might be why some complain if the parts losing some of its properties.
IDK about Fail Zero but WMD has a lifetime warranty on the treatment. If you have a part that the treatment is failing on you they will nake it right.. Personally I have never read of anyone needing to send a WMD part back....
JP Carriers all day everyday. They’re a lot of coin but worth every penny. Paired with their silent captured spring.Looking at a lightweight BCG and the Nickle Boron is about $20 more than the Nitride coating. I like the black Nitride but if the Boron is worth the coin I'll buy it.
Thanks
