Lol @ multiple pics of the bolt carrier itself. Besides the gas key, I thought those things never really wear out?

That's what she said?
Sorry for the multiple pics then QS. Since there are four large bearing surfaces on the carrier, and being new to AR's, I wanted to show the four surfaces in order to show the wear I am seeing.
Don't worry, I am satisfied with the responses indicating all is well for now so I will not be posting anymore pics of the carrier :happy:
I think it's the grease that prevents the wear from happening.
I use Castrol Syntec 10W30, I ordered some Slip EWL yesterday, we'll see if it does a better job.
Either way I'm not worried about the phosphate finish wearing off, it's not particularly tough stuff.
