Silver one from harbor freight. I put my whole 1911 lower and slide in it
NIB BCG vs Phosphate BCG
- Thread starter Righter13
- Start date
I saw one for $32 at Harbor, wondered if it worked as well as the Hornady or RCBS
Fireclean, weaponshield, slip ELW, MPro7, they all work pretty darn well. Been using Fireclean primarily for about a year now. Really works well with my suppressed guns.
I have nib bcg and it is way easier to clean. That being said I havent had any issues with the original bcg. So far I feel like it just allows me to be lazy with the cleaning. Lol
I should have addedthat I never used fireclean or any newer type of lube just rem oil. The nib is much quicker to clean than original.
interesting read about fireclean. I got a free sample of it and it seems to work pretty well.

there have been reports of nib bolts being out of spec and thus non-functional because of the coating being too thick. why pay more for this possibility?
if you like the look and have the money...more power to ya but I shy away from them.

I like the cryptic coatings because it's such a thin coating that it he minimal to no effect on spec size.
I played with their copper color coated bolt and it seemed very nice.
I've played with a pvd / dlc coated carrier before. They're very nice, but basically the same as nitride aside from the colors. They're very nice, but damn expensive.
Do it. You can be the bling king of the SET! Right up there with middle eastern dictators and South American drug lords!
