| Asking about homemade moly bolt carrier group. Answer on LE6920, leave it alone. Would you say the titanium, Nickle Boron, moly, which they do market are gimmicks. Also I see adds for replacement buffer springs. Do the buffers wear. After 1000s of rounds, I have no wear. |

Now that's a 44 magnesium. Texans are actually pretty funny. Except for Richard Rawlings. He's not.
I remember watchin these two Texan gator hunters on TV. They had me bustin up cause they kept referring to their 22 magnum as a "double deuce magnesium" and in the context they said it, it was just funny as hell. |

Um....wut?
In before the lock/move/...whatever. Dupe: His first post... |

Bolt Carrier Group LE6920. Are the after market BCG worth the $. Nickle Boron, Titanium. My stock BCG is working, I do have Moly B to use in bores. In fact I've seen Moly bolt carrier groups sold. Why would it not be advantageous to use the Moly?
Spring buffer for the m4 when should it be replaced, or just carry an extra in range bag. Ya'll Sending this from my horse in the pasture, while chewing on a wheat stalk. Regards from the Lone Star State. Ps. Looking for a proof reader |

Looking for a proof reader I've used CLP, Rem Oil, Slip 2000, and now Fire Clean but, probably will switch to Mobile 1 after my stash is gone. In the ten's of thousands of rounds I've shot, as long as you lube it before you shoot, you should be good for quite some time before you have an issue and that's even without giving it a thorough cleaning. Most I've personally gone was 6K rounds before my OCD kicked in and I had to clean my rifle. I have buffer springs that have over 18k rounds through it and it hasn't given me an issue yet but, I don't shoot on a two way range so I can afford not to be too meticulous about parts failure. Just something I'm testing out for myself. I do however keep a spare buffer and springs in my range bag just in case. Hope that somewhat answers your questions. |

There are plenty of good aftermarket BCGs out there...but since the stock one in your rifle is working well, just stick with it until it gives out (or you decide to replace it if it's a go-to type gun). As for buffer springs, I seem to remember seeing something about replacing it after 5k rounds? I could be wrong though and I don't feel like doing much searching at 11:20 at night. |

Cow jumped over the moon. No, there is no better option BCG-wise than the BCG you have. Buffer spring should be replaced by 10,000 rounds at the maximum. |

Ya'll Sending this from my horse in the pasture, while chewing on a wheat stalk. Regards from the Lone Star State. Ps. Looking for a proof reader You don't need a proof reader. You just need to combine the monstrosity of words and periods into a complete sentence. Rather than bunch words and periods together, formulate an idea. Attempt to read what you just put, out loud. Use periods and commas as a break. Aftermarket BCGs with special coatings and materials are nice, but they aren't needed. Think of it like synthetic motor oil versus conventional oil. The fancy treatments make cleaning easier and require less lube, but the standard mil spec treatment works fine and is reliable. The titanium carrier is lighter than a standard steel carrier, for use in a tuned gas system. Rather than ask "why would it not be advantageous to use the Moly", ask "what would be advantageous about the Moly versus my current setup". It could be of benefit on the carrier, but the inside of your upper receiver already has a dry lube (moly based) coating. You essentially would just be increasing film thickness with another coating, most likely negating the benefit due to increased friction (even though you are adding a friction reducer). I have a few chrome BCGs, a NiB BCG, and two melonite BCGs and they each are remarkable easier to clean than standard phosphate BCGs. I would pay $25-$35 more for it, but would not buy a complete new one based on that. I think the buffer springs are rated 250-500k so I wouldn't keep a spare in your range bag. |
| From what I can decipher he is asking about throwing the B/C in a vibratory tumbler with bird shot and moly and making a ''homemade'' coated carrier. As others have noted--- it is totally unnecessary, stock is fine. If it bothers you, contact ''Birdsong's Black-T'' and have them Black-T Teflon coat it for you---that will slick it up. [ someone noted in the other thread that the moly on aluminum might be a bad idea, I would thoroughly investigate this as some of these guys REALLY know what they are talking about ] Hope this helps to an answer for a non-existent problem. |

I actually understood him. I do believe that buffer springs can wear out. Shoot it till it fails, your stock bcg is just fine and you do not need any fancy stuff. Your gas rings will wear out and you may have to replace your extractor, normal wear and tear stuff, easy cheesy. Also, you may want to upgrade to the bcm extra strength extractor spring kit. |
I'm gonna try to wade in here… 
Stick with the stock bolt/carrier. Shoot the shit out of it, it's a good part. Some of those replacements are certainly gimmicks. Some are not but are for situations not applicable to your use. Others might be theoretically better but are far more likely to be a waste of loot in your rifle. The stock bolt/carrier is a good unit. Colt generally makes a nice one. Just shoot the rifle. if it needs parts, it'll tell you. |

If you want the optimum part, the plating on a quality BCG is nice, but the rifle was designed to work without it and it will work just fine without it. Your Colt should serve you well for a long time. |

Give me all the jawing you've got. Mostly good natured fun. But the assholes and you know who you are. Stick-it. And to the Nobel Laureate in Literature thanks for the lesson. It's really great to join a new forum and find people like you. I'll use the intelligent answers to my benefit, and the others it's too bad you cant double charge a 5.56 case, but try anyway and let me know what happens. Your friend from Texas |

I would stick with the original Colt part. Not some gimmicky coating.
The garbage that isn't sticking to a magic-coat bolt has to go somewhere. The garbage isn't just disappearing. It just isn't in the bolt. Essentially, you are sweeping the dirt under the rug. Trust colt. They know how to make an AR |

Hold on Guys I'm from Texas and will interpret for you
OP wants to know if he should stay with his OEM BCG or upgrade to one that features NiB or Titanium. He would also like to know if buffers wear out and need replacing. I know that God appreciates me helping the needy. Jim Reposting this |
