Sharps' Xtreme Performance bolt carrier group

[Slater]

Anyone have any experience with these? Wondered if they'd be any substantial improvement over a standard BCG at that price. Looks like there are various finishes/treatments:

Aren't these known for breaking lugs?

Don't try to reinvent the wheel.. PSA was selling Toolcraft C158 nitride BCGs for 100 bucks for the last month or 2.

Apparently they had a bad batch a while back. A lot of people like them. Not needed.

The redesigned lugs of the Relia-Bolt™ virtually eliminate the most common MSR malfunction; the bolt to barrel extension jam. Haven’t cleaned your rifle? Is it out of time? The Relia-Bolt™ compensates by providing a patented camming action which guides the bolt past obstructions and into battery (U.S. Patent No. 9,863,729).

I have never heard of this malfunction. Did they manufacture this out of whole cloth or is this an actual failure of significant occurrence outside of incorrectly assembled ARs?

Ironically, that's the exact malfunction I found that a guy on arfcom had when I was searching for issues with this BCG...

Considering lug failure is the most popular/common lug failure, I don’t see a benefit in removing what appears to be more materials from the lug.

But they're "EXTREME" performance at an "EXTREME" price point. I agree, hard pass from me personally.

I’m scared of anything Xtreme.
