Who has experience with any of these and what is your opinion of them? The DSA seems like a good value.

I only have experience with Sionics. It runs like a champ and cleans up easily. I've been very pleased with their products.

If you're considering spending around $200+-, you might consider the Robar BCG...https://robarguns.com/pro-shop/produ...carrier-group/

I will only add that I have an NP3+ treated Benelli M4 and it cleans up so easily it is silly. Saves me a ton of time and it comes out looking brand new every time I "wipe it down." I keep an NP3 coated bolt as a spare, don't recall the brand at the moment, but haven't used it because I haven't had a bolt fail as of yet.

Same here. Theirs also checks all the "mil-spec" boxes.

Be careful what you use to clean it with as far as abrasiveness. You're not supposed to use a metallic bore brush, for instance, to clean the bolt tail's stubborn spots. The ol' green "scratchy pad" is also out. I use a nylon bore brush for the tough parts. This is per a conversation several years ago with Robar when I inquired about cleaning NP3.

I've been running the sonics in a small port, part time suppressed SBR generally dry trying to dial in the buffer and Springs, working great

This is my experience as well.

As I've said in the past, the base bolt is infiately more important than coating. I don't know about the other two, but the sionics checks all the boxes, and is the way I'd go.

Have complete confidence in Scionics. A very close friend works for them and the stuff coming out of their place is top notch. very small company with a few hardcore AR guys that take pride in their work and the products they sell.

Thanks for starting this thread, as I'd also been looking at picking up an NP3 bcg. I almost purchased this one, but it went OOS before I made up my mind.

I've seen the Sharps offering, but not the other two. So thanks for posting those links. The DS does look like a good value, but it also appears that only select parts are NP3 coated. Maybe that's the reason for the lower price?

I look forward to following this thread and hope you'll post an update if you decide on one!
