At 2220 rounds on the Caracal 816A2 upper (14.5)...mostly IMI M193 and M855 as of late. No malfunctions, shot in all weather conditions and mostly same configuration as previously stated.
Accuracy is excellent and I'll be purchasing another upper this summer.

F**k China!
4 out of my 5 main rifles are nitrided and no issues to report…that said, I clean them after most uses and no corrosive ammo is ever used.
I feel ya tho on the chrome lining, nice to have for sure.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

Does anyone have experience with the 11.5" 816 SBR?
Are the civilian 816s using cold hammer forged barrels like the military ones? I know the civilian ones are nitrided and not chromed but haven’t found anything regarding whether or not they’re hammer forged. The website doesn’t specify, which leads me to thing they’re not hammer forged because that’s the kind of feature a company would happily advertise.
