    Lower carrier has been polished. If you'll notice the shiny area that rides inside the upper is the only area that requires it.





    I used 400 or 600 grit sandpaper. Apologies for the oversized pics.

    Thanks, Jax. This confirmed what I had pictured in my mind.

    Exactly. Just the four rails, the sides of the carrier key, and the bottom where the hammer rides. Use plenty of good lube and you're set.

    Thanks jax.

    I like the Wilson Combat NP3 coated BCGs

    I think they run smooth and require less line and clean up easier.

    I thought the advantage of a NiB BCG was that you got to spend less time cleaning carbon off of it.
    I never have a problem cleaning my phosphate BCGs. I lube them often, with slip 2000 grease, after every few hundred shots, and the carbon wipes right off. I do tend to clean my carbeens lots though. Every thousand rounds or so... Mostly to check parts etc for wear/damage.

    What's so negative about them? I don't own one but haven't read anything bad about them though. Granted I haven't specifically searched for it though.

    Thanks for all the replies, guys. I'm aware the BCG that came with the Colt is just fine and there's no "need" for an NiB, but I wanted something that might be a bit easier to clean, and they look good. I think I'll just stick with what I have for now and maybe consider it later.

    The M-4/M-16 is not the delicate flower most have been lead to believe. You can shoot several thousand rounds without cleaning, as I often do, as much as 4K+ rounds fired (with a couple of carbine courses a year thrown in) with just adding lube. When I do decide to clean, the BCG is hosed down with a quality CLP, wiped down, then another coat after. The innards are wiped down, with a few patches down the barrel, if that. it's a 10 min affair.

    I think that's a common misconception mostly derived from FTE incidents from earlier models of the M16 dating back to the 60's before the A2. The M4 and M16A4 models today are far more reliable with far less such incidents. I have a buddy who was in the Marines for four years, much of it in the Middle East, and he told me stories of how ridiculously dirty his M16A4 got, but never jammed.
