    Slicker than parkerizing and easier to clean.

    Is it really worth all the extra money?

    IMO, no, for that price I would get chrome, I have an ionbonded barrel, and it is not that much slicker than parked.
    I would be more interested in an ionbonded upper, which is not saying much.

    Well the 'slicker' the metal to metal contacts the better but you probably won't notice a difference for 95% of people.


    Its certainly not going to hurt anything...


    Here is my BCM ion bond BCG after approx 400-500 rds:

    Ionbond is also porous so it absorbs oil and slowly releases it when it needs too, and if it has the full DLC treatment than it may have the Hard Chrome base coating as well.

    more porous than parkerizing?

    I would be more interested in reasonably priced ion-bonded bolts than whole bcgs.

    I think so, comparing my parkerized N4 barrel which would dry out in a week sitting in my safe to my old Ionbonded 1911 that would stay wet for weeks there is no comparison.

    I hypothesize that the parked is more porous, and absorbing the oil. Hard to say, I dont use any oil that drys up, but maybe you do, hard to say with so little info.
