Is the gas chamber chrome lined?

If its of no benefit why are bolt carriers coated in NiB or TiN?

An attempt to improve things, Marketing, point of difference. For you to do it after purchasing however, I am just saying that the carrier will work as is so I am wondering the cost/benefit. If the benefit is the satisfaction of tinkering or having a point of difference, or even a catalyst for discussion like on this forum then all good. As for practical benefit over what it already does, what do you think?

I would put that $155 towards a better barrel.

Its considered to reduce wear, increase lubricity and make cleaning easier.

As for the cost, he charges $155 for an entire pistol, which is a lot more work in terms of disassembly and assembly.

If you have put a lot of rounds through your bolt carriers and they are not eating up the gas rings, then I have to agree with Klem. Mil spec is designed around a certain cartridge, powder and pressure. For us civilians, we use a plethora of different types of ammunition. If your BCG's have been working, "other than easier cleanup" I see little to gain for the money spent..

I am already getting a Lilja for this one.
