    Hard chrome or Cryptic Coatings Mystic Black. The latter is more expensive than the former.

    As far as the Geissele nano coating is concerned, when I shot my GSD for zero it did clean up pretty easily, even the infamous bolt tail. Maybe there's something to the DLC-ish coatings?

    It is called "Nano Coating", which I believe is a form of DLC.

    +2 on this. I used one of the RCA BCGs in my x39 build (which is a dirty, dirty Russian whore) and it's amazing how easy it cleans up. I've got a few thousand rounds through it and so far the coating is holding up really well. I put a few of them in 5.56 builds as well. To be fair they are not like most other nitride coatings. I am not sure what, in their process, makes it different but you can tell it when you handle them. That and if you buy direct you can spec OCKS be used for your BCG.

    Pappabear made mention of how well the Geiselle cleaned up. When I hear "nano", I think of a sales pitch that you can't disprove. But maybe the finish is really better.

    I’ve always wondered this, is Pappabear your dad?

    No. He's a father... but not my father. We're about the same age.

    (we actually met because Iraqgunz was going to work on his ARs. Turned out we lived 4 miles apart, and started shooting together.)

    I gave myself that name years ago because I got on a gun forum and this particular forums was riddled with some cool, some crazy military gun names. And I thought what am I, and my most valued accomplishment was just being a dad. Hence, Pappabear was born.
