Carbonite BCG - verdict?

[fifthward]

So far, I've been able to resist the temptation of going with the slick finishes on a BCG (NP3, NIB, Black Nitride, etc.) - and simply sticking with a well lubed BCM BCG.

However, I've come across a Carbonite "finish" - really a process - where it is super hard and slick, that can't chip or flake off.

As I value the input of the members here on this forum, I'm curious what your experience and opinions are on Carbonite.

Thanks in advance.

Isn't that the shit they froze Han Solo in??

[joeyjoe]

yes! lol. I was going to say it, but you're already on it, sevin8nin. "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." (Han Solo).
carry on...

The first thing that went through my mind.

Had never heard of that treatment/finish before so I looked it up. Looks pretty nifty on paper, not sure how it is as far as real life use. Worth a shot do you think?

"Carbonite" is a trademarked name for a special finish developed and promoted by Leitner-Wise Mfg.

Yes, that Paul Leitner-Wise... the former owner of Leitner-Wise Manufacturing Company (LWRC) before he sold it and it was renamed Land Warfare Resources Corp.

I don't know if it's a gimmick or not and I have never seen or used one, so I don't really have a right to say anything about it. Here's a website with more info:

LOL! I thought carbonite would have the black finish like, I dunno, CARBON does. Watched the video at the bottom of justin247's link and at first I thought it was the black one!

Somebody help me out? What did Paul Leitner-Wise do that makes him such a universally disliked dingleberry? I just can't find exactly what he did? I know most here hate LWRC, is it just because he started that company?

Evidently, Paul Leitner-Wise was caught lying and acting in an unethical manner, although this was long before I was a member here. There are also reports of LWRC employees (and Mr. Leitner-Wise) spamming here and at TOS. I would be very careful about dealing with them.
