    I will.

    I honestly don't know if this small friction point will be feel-able, to be honest.

    I still burnish the rail pads on my LMT E-Carriers after running a few hundred rounds through them. Just a felt polishing wheel (like one would use for jewelry) on low speed until it starts to feel smooth with my finger nail. That helps more than anything.

    Have also seen noticeable decreases in friction in moving to UBR2 stocks over my Vltor A5 tubes. Just more of a ball-bearing feel. Doesn't mean anything in my mind, but I like the feel a little better.

    Pretty effing immaculate if you ask me. Identical in dimensions to my LMT cam pin. Feels the same.

    I'm very pleased.

    BufordTJustice and Disciple, I don't know if you know this. But Damage Industries sells nickel Teflon (PTFE) cam pins and nitrided cam pins for $4.95 (their regular price). They call their nickel Teflon parts "NiCoTef", and their nitrided parts are called "black oxide." They are kind of hard to find on their website so here is a link, plus a link to the Teflon cam pins in a kit with Teflon coated detents for a few dollars more ($7.95 sale price):

    https://damageindustriesllc.com/stor...search=cam+pin

    https://damageindustriesllc.com/stor...roduct_id=2535

    But one significant difference from cam pins from the SOTAR and FCD is the ones from Damage Industries do not have any type of mark to show direction (if it matters to you).

    I have no ties to the Damage Industries, but I have used their NiCoTef cam pins and like them. The coating has held up fine for me with a decent number of rounds.

    I like the FCD muzzle timing device, but don't see myself getting it any time soon. But I will follow this thread with interest. It's great to see real innovation and a quality product.

    If you have a caliper and a newer cam pin, could you take some diameter measurements?
