Seems like these are cast parts, does anyone know of machined cam pin, or perhaps one that's coated?
Want to have something tougher than usual mil spec, and keep a few of these on hand

A BCM mil spec cam pin is a whopping $4.95. I doubt if anyone is carving theses from unicorn horn yet but I think a couple of these on hand is more than sufficient. I try to have 2 or 3 spares myself and replace them when the ridge they tend to develop starts to really bug me.

Pretty sure cam pins are not cast. BCM, Sionics and Colt are all safe bets.

P.S. Shipping will be higher than the cam pin cost, so its a good opportunity to pick up other spare parts like gas rings, ejector springs, action springs, firing pin, etc.

Thanks. What makes the above cam pins better than the rest of the herd? It's a common wear / fail part, so looking for something more to offer.
Coatings? Roller top? Haven't seen any comprehensive high round function / wear / torture tests, hoping someone has done some testing of their own.

The best backup bolt cam pin is the one you keep with your spare BCG

LoL ... no shortage of spares for spares is the best approach
Don't have a spare BCG, but point taken
Just looking to upgrade my humble SW MP Sport II with more robust "consumable" items ... the cam pin comes to mind first
