Bolt carrier with no chrome lining??

[j427x]

i saw on some mall ninja site where some fellow mall-ninja had seen a bolt carrier group that did not have the chrome lined insides where the bolt rides in the carrier.

now in my years of messing around with m-16's and ar-15s i don't recall ever running across a bolt carrier that was not chromed on the insides. all the carriers i know of are lined high end and even more budget models--


my question is has anyone encountered a bolt carrier that was not chromed on the inside?

I agree with what you said. I have never seen a BC without the chrome insides...

Of course this doesn't mean that somewhere/somebody hasn't made/produced a BC without the chrome inside.

In the context of ArmaLite (the original company) and Colt, the first bolt carriers (e.g., Colt Armalite Model 601[01]) were chromed all over, inside and out. When the change was made to Parkerizing, the interior of the bolt carrier continued to be chromed.

I've not seen a non-chromed bolt carrier interior, and indeed a bolt carrier not chromed inside would be impractical to the extreme. However, I'll keep my eyes open.

i wonder if some of the imported ar15/m16 parts i keep hearing about might be not beproperly chromed on the insides?

i never handled the china made ar-15/m16. i sort of expected to come across some in the sand/litter box as we knew some were out there in the hands of the tribal insurgents.

just wondering if they might be the source of the non-chromed lined bc's i keep hearing in the scuttlebutt section? i have handled some Canadian and IDF and some other national made rifles and carbines--best i can recall all of them were chrome lined like US made parts.

It is a low budget after-market production. Nesard for one used to sell that junk back in the 80's. I see the non-chrome ones once in a while at the gun shows. Use it for a dummy gun.

PS If you'd read The AR-15 Complete Owner's Guide you'd have known that already!
PPS For extra credit, what's "Bohica"? That was another AR cloner.

what's "Bohica"?

Isn't the the place that makes the 50 cal uppers?

OK I have to ask, what or who is Drasen?

[j427x]

now i thought "BOHICA" was a military term, short for "bend over here IT comes again!"

so if nesard is drasen--who the f&c& is drasen?
