    That's definitely a mystery. I'd be interested to know what it truly is, assuming you're not blaming your rifle on your coke habit.

    Your rifles are bumping uglies when you close the door on the cabinet. Trying to keep the offending rifle away from others and see the white stuff stops coming out.

    Arent these comp's 2 part, the front section screws in right where you have that white stuff? Maybe its the thread lock or other stuff coming out due to heat?

    What lube do you use? What cleaner do you use? What ammo are you shooting?

    No, the BCM comp is 2 pieces pinned and welded together

    You might ought to call the Dallas Cowboys. Looks like chalk on the goal line to me, and they would really like to have some. (sorry, but I had to.

    wow. where are they welded? I see no signs of being welded. Apologies if I had no idea what I was talking about. I thought they were one piece machined.

    I would venture a guess looking at the BCM comp that the muzzle end cone is inserted, then welded on around the area the OP is seeing his crack rock growing. I'd also guess that after pinning and welding, that the whole piece is chucked in a lathe and turned down to final dimensions thus cleaning up any visual evidence of being welded prior to going out for finishing.

    I wonder if there might have been an issue with the flux used during welding?

    Alternatively the weld might have been defective, or not done at all. Meaning it's pinned in place with a tiny tiny gap that would have allowed molten salt from the nitride bath to soak in. Now it's leaching out.
