Out comes the popcorn.....

I too am not a fan of coated bolts and carriers. All the experience I have had with nickel boron has been a disaster. That being said the Sionics NP3 is the real deal. For any suppressed shooting I think it's a must. The whole "carbon just wipes off" myth is totally real their BCGs. I have had nasty, suppressed, dirty, +1k rounds of 300 blackout where you have that awesome caked on mix of lube and carbon. Hit it up with a little M-Pro7 and it just cleans right up. Its magical but you pay for it.
The Small Arms Solutions video posted a couple pages back was interesting regarding "Enhanced BCGs", but the only enhanced BCG i would buy (and did buy) for a "GO TO" rifle is the LMT enhanced. It has been though a few generations of improvements and is most improved where it really counts...in the bolt.
Other than that, if you're worried that your BCG won't hold up when it counts, the best way to mitigate common failures is to buy a spare bolt and keep it ready to go in your grip. You just have to hope it doesn't happen at an inconvenient time.
A bolt holder can be purchased for a Magpul MOE grip.
JMHO
Right, if i were to buy one it would be non-coated.

Those older posts are for the people who haven't read them before and don't know or don't understand the facts and issues regarding BCGs. We can't have a really informed discussion unless everyone has read the same material. These new posts like this have some inaccuracies and no body who has read those old posts wants to go back and re-litigate discussions.
IMHO, other than being not only slick as hell, NP3 can also be pretty hard. Having it on the carrier's upper contact surfaces will give it an edge vs an untreated one, with reduced wear on contact surfaces and extend the run time a little more before there is a malfunction when it’s really dirty or when there is little lube present.

I beg to differ. For some their body of knowledge in metallurgy, heat treatment, materials science, and non-destructive inspection comes from technical education and relevant professional experience (25 years in my case). They don't get their knowledge from the internet.
