    VIP3R 237,

    What was the bolt tail like on both the lubed and unlubed as far as cleaning was concerned? I ask because that is definitely the toughest area to clean on a BCG. Was it easier than phosphate? Did it need scrubbing? Is the finish hard enough (unlike NP3) to use a regular brass/bronze brush on it?

    On the lubed one I could scrape it off with my fingernail, I was kind of in shock in all honestly at how it just flaked off the tail. The unlubed one took some soaking in some solvent but then came off with out much effort. According to Cryptic Coatings it is a very hard finish but I never had the opportunity to use a brush on it as it was never needed. Maybe if I am invited again to help them out i'll try it.

    Before people start getting confused, PVD/CVD IS NOT the coating. It's the process used to coat whatever material they're applying. It's like calling a "chrome-lined" barrel an "electro-plated" barrel.

    PVD and CVD aren't the same things either. PVD sputters a material that lands on the target to form a coating and CVD flows gasses onto the material which cause surface reactions to deposit material.

    Thank you for the clarification. The Black mystic is CVD, and there is a Bronze Mystic that is PVD that we also had there that produced similar results.

    Why does it come with the O-ring?

    I would've never been in favor of a coated BCG, until I got my Ionbond DLC BCG... I'm really digging it.

    Work so hard that one day your signature will be called an autograph.
