    They bumped up their pricing and they've moved free shipping from a lot of their stuff but even at $55 their nitride BCG seems like a good deal. Anybody got one? How's it look? I was going to grab some for spares but not sure if the extra money is worth it to go with the Brownells version, which appear to be very nice, at least based on the one example I've got.

    Following. I've had their phosphate bcg for about 7-8 years and it's been flawless, I'd assume the nitride is similar but a bit more satisfying to clean :)

    I brought in the chief inspector, he said they were machined accurately, down to Cat whisker tolerances .

    Those look like phosphate. I'm asking about the nitrided. If those are nitrided, they're not very slick looking.

    They were $49.99 for awhile but they've bumped them up in the past month. The price is right just not sure about the quality. I got a brownells(made by toolcraft?) that's for a beautiful finish on it but it'd be another $20.

    Not really looking right now, but was just surprised by the price.

    Not sure if this is the same SKU, but PSA had a BCG where the carrier was phosphate but the bolt was nitrided. I’d double check if you move forward on this one - personally I’d roll with Toolcraft as they’re always GTG in my experience :)

    I picked up a 10.5” “nitride” pistol kit from them last year and the bolt was nitride and the carrier phosphate like you stated. The whole kit was $260 shipped so I am not disappointed but it is noteworthy.
