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 completely agree. I only clean my carbine once a year for annual inspection. Thousands and thousands of rounds in between with only lube added.

    One of the 'advantages' many companies claim with these fancy new coatings is the ease at which the BCGs can be cleaned. Realistically a few sprays of brake cleaner is all that is needed. Relube and done. Kinda negates the purpose of it. So many people think the AR requires meticulous cleaning. Wrong. Just keep it wet. If you look at the pic of the BCM BCG I posted earlier it is absolutely caked in carbon. But it is also caked in FrogLube so stills runs perfect.

    Im using an Ice Arms NiB BCG. Its a lot smoother when charging, no more gritty feeling, or smell of matches. Gun cycles smoother as well

    NiB is certainly beneficial in some niches (those niches being auppressed/SBR/FA/combination thereof). I see no worthwhile utility in a semi-auto 16" barreled carbine. Aspirational product for most IMO.

    Colt BCG, good. Unnecessarily spending money, bad. 'Nuff said.

    Sent off a BCM bcg to WMD guns for coating. Makes cleanup easier. That's worth it for me. Don't worry about which
    company has the best nickel boron coated bcg. Just find a company that makes a quality bcg and then send it to be
    coated. Best of both worlds.

    You'd be surprised with a proper lube like FireClean how much of a difference in felt 'slickness' is made. I used up almost all my FireClean during a class lubing everyone elses BCGs :/
