    Has there ever been a documented failure due to contact point wear on a USGI BCG?

    Forgive me for being "old school" and "stubborn", but I'm just not understanding the cost/benefit here. A brush soaked in some solvent and a rag wipes the BCG clean in under a minute.

    As to the RCA stuff I have one and it's been just fine, but not a ton of rounds on it yet.... I think 6-800.

    I will say that it's the easiest-cleaning BCG I've had and I am a believer in the nitriding process as a post-heat-treat enhancement.

    Same here and I've taken one past the 5k mark without issue. Both of mine are with the original C158 bolts (not sure when the 9310 switch happened) but honestly are 9310 bolts failing since gaining popularity?

    Rubber city has been dogged since they came out, especially here. Thing is their products are actually good performers. Especially the C158 bolt versions. Same materials and testing standards as the Centurion BCG's with the additional benefit of nitriding yet Rubber City is garbage and Centurion is GTG. Not sure how that happens.

    There is no need for that because the carbon wipes right off.

    [QUOTES=ABNAK;2085571]Googled it and it seems interesting. The NP3 is an awesome finish but I wonder if this is more abrasion resistant? i.e. you have to be careful what you clean the NP3 with as a standard bronze/brass brush will remove the finish. Price-wise the link looks to be reasonable and the specs are GTG.

    We include it because people asked why there wasn't one when we didn't it.

    immanuelrx,

    I bought one last year to be used in another rifle cuz that bolt was giving me trouble. I replaced the entire carrier due to the key leaking gas during my firing phase. Now that it's been repaired with good results I now have Rubber City version as a spare. Overall it has an excellent finish (shiney black) and all sharp corners rounded. Very well made BCG. Currently building another AR and will use this bolt when I'm ready.
