Fail Zero NiB BCG ???

[RippSpeed]

I've been wanting to get the Fail Zero Nickel Boron BCG ...


First let me explain why I'm looking @ one...I have a RRA chrome BCG right now; I thought since its hard chrome it would be easier to clean. But I guess not .. Even after dunking in my heated ultrasonic cleaner with a solution of simple green and dish washer liquid; for an hour. I still need to scrape the back part of the bolt. The carrier itself comes out like new but the carbon on the back of the bolt requires scraping ... I mean there isnt a ton of it but just enough to have issues with my OCD ... I can never clean it enough


Thats where the Fail Zero comes in ... I know performance wise its going to be the same as my RRA performance wise ( I have no issues with my current BCG ) but is cleaning it after shooting 200 to 500rds of Federal Bulk ammo and BlackHills heavy match ammo going to be easier ???

It's too bad you can't nickel boron coat your OCD.

I think I tried Federal XM193 and wasn't really impressed with the cleanliness of the ammo. PMC bronze and 62 grain X-Tac both seemed cleaner and while there is some carbon on the bolts, I can go more than 500 rounds between bolt cleanings with no issues. It just keeps on running if I have enough lube in it.

Yes, it'll be easier. I noticed a significant difference in the ease of cleaning between my chromed bolts and my standard.

bolt tail cleaning is not necessary. ever. except if you're ocd.
i have put more than 5 cases of ammo through one of my ARs w/FZ carrier group and the tail still gets dirty. less lube makes carbon stick more and more lube less... you get that. clean it with an empty 556 case and scrape the crap off of any bolt tail. done.
side note: i only lube the gas rings on the FZ bolt. everything else runs dry...still.
