Zebra644 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Who's running one, what kind and what do you think about it?
98Z5V Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Two here - one from RGuns when the silliness was in full swing - does well, easy to clean. One from Rainier Arms - VERY damn nice, and easiest to clean. I also have a chromed Young National Match carrier - that damn thing is just a work of art, and just as easy to clean as a NiB carrier.
Rsquared Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 I've got a shadow ops NIB BCG I got last year (during same silliness that Tom mentioned). It's waiting to go into a BRO Fallout 10 upper/lower set that I've got.......as soon as it comes around in the build schedule. Good machining on it and everything. But can't speak for it operational-wise yet.
Robocop1051 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 I have a WMD Guns, full auto BCG in my 300 Blk. I also have a NiB treated BCG made by SI-Defense. NiB is decent by itself, but it really shines when combined with FireClean. As for BCG finishes, I also have two melonite treated Adams Arms piston carriers. They are equally as nice and run just as smooth.
EasyEJL Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 I've got a Harris nickel boron (this was before I worked for Shadow Ops). Its decent enough, its not as pretty as the day I put it in, but it does clean pretty easy.
unforgiven Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 I'm thinkin of getting carriers coated eventually.
survivalshop Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 The one I'm running in the 16" is running clean & I just wipe it down after shooting , got it from Shadow Ops.
Zebra644 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Posted March 5, 2014 I've got a Harris nickel boron (this was before I worked for Shadow Ops). Its decent enough, its not as pretty as the day I put it in, but it does clean pretty easy. I have been looking at those, WMD and Spikes if I can find one. The name of Shadow Ops kinda reminds me of the " Dreaded Counter Sniper " scopes that are allegedly special forces gov. contract over runs ect. <lmao> But since you hand survivalshop have them, would you reccomend them?
392heminut Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I've got one from ICE Arms. Works fine and as the other guys said, it's easy to cleam n.

That's sort of our niche, we offer higher end products at lower end prices.
Zebra644 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 That does make me feel more apt to take a more seriousl look at them, I am having a hard time justifing the 230 for a Spikes even though I know they are gtg.
D.R.D. Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Got one on sale from Ares Armor for an AR15 build ($125). Looks good, smooth, but haven't finished the build yet.

If your looking for one for an AR15 , Shadow Ops has some with slight blemishes on sale right now & a very good deal . I would buy another & plan on getting one of there blemished ones( if still available ) for my BRO build I have going , just short on funds at this moment . Mine is a 308 version & its well made & is working the way it should .
mineralman55 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I have the Shadow Ops 308 NiB BCG. It is great. No problems at all. The NiB seems to stain a bit easily but that's a minor cosmetic issue. I took Robocop's advice to get some Fireclean, but haven't used it yet to see it's efficacy. Will let you know.
Zebra644 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Ok 3 votes Shadow Ops. I was looking for reviews on them and I think AIM surplus uses them, and has thier brand logo on them. The black extractor and gas key screws and faceted / angular bolt is kind of a clue. As the others I have seen the entire BCG is NIK. Looks like I may bite the bullet and go tis route, Gun show is this weekend, after I try to re-zero my ar again, I'm gonna see whats out there. Edited March 6, 2014 by Zebra644

That's sort of our niche, we offer higher end products at lower end prices. I see you do some coatings but I don't see the NiB as an option. Do you guys do it as a service at all?
Zebra644 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Posted April 3, 2014 Sorry 5.56 and I got her up and running
98Z5V Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I was going to offer another alternative for 5.56 - glad it's going! ...Aaaaaand, here it goes! :wwop: :wwop:
