This is the kind of information we need. The reason this thread is full of backlash is because the website focuses on the coating and makes no mention of the specs / quality of the actual BCG. If they were more clear about what you're getting for your money, the reception here would be different. Just to be clear, are you stating that this is a fully mil spec BCG with a black nitride coating, similar to the BCM ion bond groups? If that's the case, the price isn't bad.
During this current panic, guys are paying more for a BCG and many don't care who made it. They just want one, ANY one. So a nitride Mil spec BCG at $250 isn't a bad deal. RCA just needs to clarify WHAT they are selling.
I, like you was a bit warry seeing as I never heard of them before. I decided to give them a shot for the simple fact these are the only BCGs I could find in stock at any point. Will I run them lubed...of course. Hopefully the coating will aid in cleaning. I ordered two for some new builds i'm planning.
I'm running a standard BCM carrier in my current AR so I didn't really want to stray from BCM, DD, Spikes, but figured at this point it couldn't hurt. My questions were quickly answered on Facebook as well.
Ordered yesteday and got shipping notice already. I'll give some more first impressions when I get them in.

I talked to a guy named Shea at RCA and he told me that they are full mil-spec with mpi bolts. He stated the only diff with these was the fact that they have been nitrided. He told me if I had any problems that I could return it and that they are running out of stock. He would have more in a few weeks. I supposedly bought one of the last 5 he had? Don't know how true that is but it is what he told me. I will reserve my opinion until I get a chance to use the bcg.
Actually, they are according to their own Facebook page..RCA, Rubber City Armory is not a "joint venture" with Blacknitride.com or Chris Cerino Training Group as originally posted by the OP. RCA is a 100% standalone company owned and operated by the McMillen Company.
Now, that doesn't make the process bad. In fact, it adds credibility to their product. If they want to make their advertising better they would heed some of the complaints around here. First and foremost a BCG should be advertised as a properly tested military grade BCG. They should list the fact it's made out of Carpenter steel also. THEN they should list the fact as to what nitriding is used for already in the firearms industry. Finally they should list the benefits of nitriding. Had they done that, rather than saying "no lube needed", this conversation would have been much shorter. In fact, if they had used the words in their own Facebook description, they'd be further ahead.About

It it's available at a decent pricepoint (somewhere below $300 would be nice) I'd be tempted to buy it. Won't keep me from FireClean it... lol
