Dano,
Many shooters have chosen to send a quality carrier to Robar to get coated with NP3.
Personally I personally use LMT/CMT/Colt parts. I'm debating getting my LMT carrier done in NP3 because it came pretty rough around the edges.

You can also type in "NP3" in the search blank on the homepage of m4c and it will give you a list of all threads pertaining to NP3 (find out what others say).
Hope this can help,
Dave

+1 on NP3'ing a BCG. Robar did my Bushy BCG and it cycles slick as sh!t. Very easy to clean, too.
As far as the Young BCG, I have also heard good things about them. I plan on using one in my present CMMG middy build. Rainier Arms sells them, so they must be good.![]()

As far as round counts, I doubt it will last much longer than a BCG not coated with NP3. NP3 is a teflon based coating and I doubt has any affect on the punishment a BCG takes. I would still replace it a the "suggested interval".
It will probably make your weapon more reliable under circumstances when you are firing a thousand rounds at a time and are unable to re oil/lube the moving parts.
It's a toss up for me; I can't afford to shoot 500 rounds every range trip. Right now I can only afford to shoot 500 rds a month. So for me, NP3 wouldn't make any sense, I would rather spend the $130 on another MPI BCG; IMHO.
If you have the money- Try it and be sure to tell us your opinion on it.

The bolt carrier in my M4A1/Recce here is a Chrome one - cleans up slicker than snot - and runs really smoothly in the rifle.
The carrier has more than 17k rounds thru it and still going strong -- bolt is a Colt that was had fitted to the douglas barrel when it was built.
I'm looking at getting a new shorty here -- and when back on leave may looking into getting one NP3's as the coatings look pretty good.
I had a semi auto Young NM bolt carrier - worked in a 20" gun but did not work in the 11.5 - I sold it shortly after so no real results.

Sounds like these are out of original USAF M16's from back in the mid-60's. These rifles had no forward assist capability.
I saw some of these no-notch/chromed bolt carriers still being used in active duty USAF rifles up through the mid-70's, but most had been replaced with notched/parkerized A1 units.
I used to like the hard chromed BCG's, until I found that they sometimes don't work well with Billet upper receiver (LT and VLTOR). I have switched the JP Ent. Tactical bolt carrier.
