Rguns Nickel Boron Bolt Carrier Group - Finish flaking off

[Shao]

That was my nice way of saying NiB is for suckers.

It adds no measurable performance and costs extra. There have been numerous threads about galling, flaking, etc.

A phosphate bolt with a tiny bit of lube is more than sufficient.

Yeah, but a phosphate bolt isn't all shiny.

Easy, but then again I use an ultrasonic. LOL.

But seriously, from what I understand is they are the ones that coat all of failzero's stuff.

From what I heard the guy that runs/owns WMD worked for UCT at one time but split off to do his own thing. UCT in Fla is Failzero as far as I know.
UCT is coating my bolts now.

Pay attention to this statement when using NiB parts.
The NiB-X process does not affect the part through excessive temperatures like some other technologies you may consider. There is no hydrogen embrittlement of the part due to the process. The maximum process temperature is 195°F with an optional post coating precipitation bake to further harden the coating. All temperatures are low enough so as to not be detrimental to your parts.
That "optional" is the difference between a hard part and a soft part.
