What's the word on a cerekoted BCG?

IMO, it'll wear off in short order.  That is my experience with my bolt-action rifle bolts.

So true... any coating on a bolt will wear off.

I think Ionbond and Nickel Boron coatings are hard to beat.

I have two Ionbond complete BCG's and they are awesome.

Chrome would likely be more durable as well.

I was told that the ak lighting bolts are ion coated if so my 120 grit AO make quick work of it....
But I have know Idea if it was really ION ... If any one would like to send me a bolt to test ( for one day) with my media blaster I would love to try it.


But a hard chrome or nickel plating would be money well spent. Like a Y/M NM Bolt.

$160 for a BCG that we don't know any specs on?  They say it's MPI.  But that's it.  No thanks.  There are several other BCGs out there that are proper spec for the same or less money.

Even Nickel Boron?

Well I suppose a blast cabinet would roach most any coating or surface treatment if given enough time.

However, after about 1K on one of BCM's ionbonded BCG's and 2K on another there is very little wear - much less than a phosphated unit.  Also, everything is easier to clean.  I don't know anything about ak lighting bolts - who makes them?

If you think you need anything other than Parkerized Exterior then get a Chrome one.

Thats a plating not a coating.
