I am piecing together a rifle and I have a standard "Mil Spec" parkerized bolt carrier group from something else that never got used, but this thing is ugly. There are prettier ones out there and it is giving me second thoughts. Is there anything about the fancy bolt carriers or bolts that are going to make any difference in accuracy from a good barrel? I want to use the BCG that I have, but some of these new things are pretty shiney, and are tempting me. I can understand the lubricity of certain coatings as well as the abrasion resistance but this rifle will be for shooting 10-20 rounds a range day, not an action shooting tool.
I would like the feature of some kind of chrome plating or nickel boron on the whole group for the ease of cleaning, but I can think of better ways to spend that money. Though when it is all said and done, $100-$150 isn't going to be a cupful in the pool of money spend building this thing, ugh.
So aside from peripheral benefits, will I see a performance increase on paper with a more expensive bolt carrier group?
Thank you.
