    Which Chrome bolt/carrier for a DMR rig?

    Youngs NM Chrome bolt/carrier or Spikes Tactical Chrome bolt/carrier.

    The Spikes looks real good from these pics:

    You may want to consider Spike's Nickel Boron (Fail Zero) coated BCG. I use it and love it.

    To go with a SS barrel, less friction, hopefully more resistance to corrosion?

    i have to agree with the recomendation on the nikel boron. wether it be the spikes or the fail zero. from what i heard spikes uses a beter bcg. it is mp tested but they dindt stamp it because they were afraid the coating would chip

    This is correct. I spoke with Felipe at Fail Zero and he stated that they do coat Spike's BCG's for them. Angela at Spikes told me that they are special batches from the supplier without the engravings (the only engraving being the spider on the side, if I'm not mistaken), so that the coating won't chip. They posted their 'papers' at afrcom and their BCG's do seem to conform to milspec. FZ's BCGs do not have proper staking...I've seen two in person...both had the old CMT type of barely-there staking.

    Nickel Boron is slick as snot. With a little Slip 2K EWL, it get's stupid slick.

    Only thing is, you need the buffer tech or BCM extractor upgrade kit (spring, insert, and o-ring...you won't need the o-ring). The spring that comes in the BCG is adequate...but you can do better.

    FWIW I just ordered a Young BCG and the gas key isn't staked very well. I was rather disappointed.

    Just order the kit from Fail Zero, and stake it yourself.

    Fail Zero Carrier + LMT enhanced bolt = tits.
    We miss you, AC.

    Young doesn’t stake their carrier keys they don’t believe it’s necessary.

    Phazuka is looking for an National Match BC for a DMR. Are the nickle boron BCs available as National Match?
