Its not going to improve your reliability. Pat Harder than chrome, slicker operating. Do you need one? Probably not. Are they cool, and a great piece of craftsmanship, yep. Lots of people run the boron coating, JP has a good one, and it will make a stronger, slicker part. Pat has a point, but the other side of that is, if you like it, get one. Confidence in equipment and lots of practice builds great shooting. Tar Edited July 5, 2012 by Sleepswithdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippSpeed Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Don't have any reliability problems with my current RRA Chrome BCG, just its a peta to clean ... Knowing Nickel Boron will probably clean better is the only reasoning for an upgrade for me. Its suppose to clean better because of the lubrisity. My OCD kicks in and can't stand knowing something isn't clean clean... Edited July 5, 2012 by RippSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the look of the natural finished one, but when I read about what the coat does for metal I couldn't pass it up. Don't think it will aid reliability much, but am looking for it to add about 10 points to my score/match.

nick romero Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would recommend the nickel boron. I have that in my AR and its awesome to clean. take a lot the the hassle and time out of it. but i do agree with the guys performance wise they are just another BCG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I have NiB in my Loki BCG and enjoy it. After the coin I dropped on the total rifle package I could care less about another few dollars. I think it will be worth it in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippSpeed Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Honestly, only reason I asked is ... Its really a peta to clean the gunk of my chrome bolt. I thought since its chrome it would be easier but its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick romero Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 no and i had the same thought at first chrome would be easier, but it is still just as big of a pain in the ass! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 For what little it is worth, my NiB seems to clean up nicely. Feels slightly slick even when dry. Hard to describe. But I'm no expert on cleaning technique and different machine finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1911 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've had mine from Loki for about 3 months using mostly cheap Russian ammo. One thing I really like about the NiB coating is that I can see any spots that I missed when cleaning. It has been noticeably easier to clean than my standard BCG and is slicker even when dry. I'm sure if I had a suppressed SBR I might be able to take full advantage of the coating, but with my volume of shooting in a middy, it's definitely more gimmickie than anything else. But regardless of coating, I still get some wicked buildup on the bolt that requires me to use a knife to scrape off the caked on carbon. I'm sure if I had a better cleaning regiment that the bolt wouldn't be as bad. Would I buy another? For a race gun or high volume carbine, sure. But for a HD, SHTF, plinking or hunting rifle, probably not worth the investment. When time permits, I do hope to use my rifle for competition use. Until then... It's just a flashy looking range plinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
