Thanks! She made it easy for me... 10/10/10

Dang metric system!

Haps!

Awesome photo! LANTAC makes a great product and the crew over there is awesome. We actually carry their BCG now too! As the site evolves, expect to see us carry more products from LANTAC.

I'm quite satisfied with quality nitride as well as phosphate when you understand its limitations.

Nitride as a process, particularly the ones coming from Fathom, have been flawless and have impressed the hell outta me after being a jaded milspec guy forever. However I'm not myopic and ordered a NIB bcg from Rainer for the wevo kitty build. I'm excited to beat on it too :D

We have two left!

I'm actually probably going to go with a Fathom E-BCG for the wevo kitty build. Wish I could find one with the original markings though when I decide to purchase one. I'll compare the two when I get the build finished.

@lantac, you said we could buy the cam pin separately, how does one do that, it's not on the web site? I have a JP bcg I'd like to use it with.

If you still have one left over this Friday I could probably pick it up. Your inbox is full by the way.

Judging from the looks of this pic from Lantac's FB page black nitride may be on it's way.

I saw somewhere, IG, probably where Lantac did a run of Black EBCGs for a special order. They looked Nitrite to me, but it was hard to tell from the photos.

Black Nitride now available. Ordered one for my 300BLK SBR.

We did black limited black nitride run a few years back for SF testing. Now we've released them for the masses in .308 and 5.56.

If you had to choose one for a hard use rifle between the EXO and nitrided BCG, which one would you pick?

NiB is an extremely hard plating. Nitride is an extremely hard surface treatment. The coefficient of friction crowd will love to argue with me - but - they're both pretty much equally as smooth by the "calibrated thumb" measurement (I have a more detailed analysis for the real stickler). So it really comes down to pick your color. Dazzled by chrome or OAF. I've ran both - equally as hard - and can't really pic one way or the other as far as TRUE performance benefits. I think over the REALLY long service life - 50,000+ the NiB would hold up better simply because the plating has an EXTREMELY strong shear strength to the base substrate and the Nitride is - at the end of the day - just a surface treatment of the base substrate metal.

Thanks for the clarification and your honest answers.

Is there a followup to the accuracy improvement claims for the Lantac BCG's? I'm looking to build a high power rifle (20" rifle gas) and wouldn't mind using a fancy part if the claims are true...

As I understand it, the flared tail is supposed to enhance accuracy by ensuring that the BCG is relatively centered in the channel as it pushes a new round into the chamber. In this way the new round will be pushed in more squarely..? I have seen a High Power gunsmith make a modification to the carrier tail to accomplish this, and he claims accuracy improvement with such a technique.

ETA: I literally signed up to ask this question.
