DLC (Diamond like carbide) Coated Bcg

[TheNegativeOne]

Does anyone have any experience with this coating? Ive had one for about 2yrs and I can tell you with all this stuff about np3 and nickel boron, it absolutley smokes them both as far as wear and slickness. Its the slickest bolt ive ever handled. It kinda feels like its always oiled and you expect to get some your hands when you put it down but its bone dry. I forget the rockwell hardness but if anyone is interested, look it up. All i can say is that it makes nickel boron feel like a sand paper coating.

What benefit does it provide over a milspec coating?

Probably none if you perform proper maintenance on your rifle, but I wish I had held on to the BCM version I got my hands on a few years ago. There is another thread regarding a recent version, but I can't find it. This time it's a different color and not available.

I clean it just like i would any bolt but it can be cleaned with just a rag. Nothing sticks to it. It makes nickel boron feel like sand paper.

Here is the article I read about it.

I have a barrel with DLC treatment as well as a BCG and some other components. Unfortunately it is difficult to find legit places to have the work done, etc...

I had an email exchange with the guy who did mine. He told me it cost him 10's of thousands of dollars to develop his process. Thats why you dont hear a lot about the coating. The base bolt i have is a young manufacturing coated by perfarms. DLC is the coating that is used on the bits that are used for drilling for oil. Which is his main buisiness.

I am very familiar with them and the process.

Sounds like you have enough experience for the both of us
I like my BCM BCG

I've seen people on these forums say that they can just wipe the bolt clean with a dry rag because they use, NiB BCG's, NP3 BCG's, hard chrome BCG's, fireclean, froglube, piston rifles, and now this new coating. I don't believe any of it, and I'll stick with my standard BCG.

You are generalizing and lumping things together. DLC has very unique properties and uses. DLC isn't new per se and has been used in the oil and gas industry for several years.
