Is it really any better? Why pay extra to get a nickel boron bolt carrier group? Any thoughts on the advantages?
Thanks!
Nickel boron (NiB) coating is a surface treatment that can be applied to metals to improve their hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Bolt carrier groups are often treated with a nickel boron coating because it can improve the group’s performance and durability. The NiB coating helps to keep the bolt carrier group lubricated, which reduces wear and increases the life of the component. It also helps protect the BCG from corrosion, which can cause damage over time.
- The Nickel boron coating is a thin layer of nickel and boron that is applied to the surface of the metal. The coating is bonded to the metal at a molecular level, which makes it extremely durable. The Nickel boron coating can improve the performance of your bolt carrier group in several ways.
- It helps to keep the BCG lubricated, which reduces wear and increases the life of the component.
- It protects the BCG from corrosion, which can cause damage over time.
- It can improve the group’s performance by reducing friction and improving heat transfer.
- It can make the BCG easier to clean and maintain.
Bolt carrier groups that have been treated with a NiB coating can offer some benefits over those that have not. If you are looking for a durable, long-lasting, and reliable BCG, then a NiB-coated group may be the best option for you.
