Rescue1 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) So I'm looking to pick up a lightweight big from AIM. Has anyone used one of these? They have the nitride, NiB, and titanium. I have heard the NiB flakes so I'm looking at either the nitride or the titanium. Edited May 26, 2017 by Rescue1 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklab Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 There's a thread on this from a few months back. Everyone that has one say they have no problems with them. I have an Aim and a JP, the JP is nicer but cost 3 times as much as the AIM. I would say buy the nitride one and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjones Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I've been running the AIM in my 3gun gun. No issues with about 3k rounds so far through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsoncustom Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I have the NIB lightweight BCG and haven't had any issue with it so far, good BCG for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlappyAbbot Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I have only gone through 300-400 rounds with it, including a 3gun match today, but no complaints yet. Mine is nitride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoKimberDave Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I have a nitride and a NiB. They both have worked great. The quality is not great, as one can imagine from the price. The NiB is flaking off badly, but it doesn't seem to affect performance. Personally I would get the nitride one. For the money these are a great option, imo.

CharlieD Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Take a look at the Rubber City Armory lightweight carriers, they are top notch. I have a couple JP's, an AIM, a titanium RCA, and had a Iron City. The JP are the gold standard, and the RCA is just as nice. I took a chance on the RCA and was surprised at how perfect the machining and finish was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recoilchamp Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Also have had good luck with the AIM lightweight BCG. Put an RCA adjustable gas key on it and it's also been working great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
