Seasoning the Bolt Carrier?
No, not salt and pepper, not Lawry’s, not tobasco...
I’m talking about treating the bolt carrier with lube to make it buttery smooth...
Just purchased a new BCM MCMR and my LGS (a big tactical guy), said a couple of “teams guys” he knows showed him a trick to seasoning the Bolt Carrier. They strip it down, remove the pin, bolt, etc. then put it into a small tin tray, cover it in your fave lube. then set it out into the sun for an entire day. The LGS owner said he’s done this with every Bolt Carrier since and had has insane results. Said it’s like a Teflon coating.. he equated it to seasoning an iron skillet, but impregnating the carrier with high end lube. Said his BCGs action like butter afterwards. And that it lasts for 20,000 rds.
Thoughts? Is this a thing? Go easy on me, I’m just getting back into ARs.
