The NBS .223/5.56 DLC Bolt Carrier Group was designed with strength in mind. Starting with a 9310 Steel Bolt, which is aircraft-grade material, this bolt has a high core strength rating, a high fatigue strength, and a high hardenability rating. 9310 steel, when treated properly, is about 7% better than Carpenter 158 steel, so you know that you will have a dependable BCG, when you drop this into your rifle.
This NBS BCG (Bolt Carrier Group) has been DLC Coated, so that it can provide a long-lasting experience, and provide a significant upgrade to your AR-15.
DLC is quickly becoming one of the most desirable finishes for critical weapon components for the following reasons:
- Hardness (Rockwell) – Greater hardness rating compared to unpolished Nickel Boron (90RC vs 82RC)
- Coefficient of Friction – Lower coefficient of friction compared to Nickel Boron (.15 vs .5-.8)
These BCG’s have also been Magnetic Particle Inspected and have been made to Mil-Spec Standards. It also has17-4 H-900 Stainless Steel Firing Pins, Mil-Spec Gas Keys with Grade-8 screws that are staked and sealed with Permatex No.3, and they have shot-peened case-hardened D2 tool steel extractors. Plus, with the AR15Discounts satisfaction guarantee, you can buy your AR build components without apprehension. Our guarantee says if you are unhappy for any reason, you can send it back to us within 30 days for a full refund. No worries.

I don't know, maybe someone else will know. But in the meantime, here is a Toolcraft branded BCG with DLC Coating and Carpenter 158 bolt for $30.00 less: https://www.wcarmory.com/toolcraft-bcg-223-5-56-ion-bond-dlc-with-c158-mpi-bolt.htm...
Looks like this deal for the NBS BCG has expired - price shown in deal title is $99.95 - current price at the ar15discounts website is $139.95 - Toolcraft has a hassle-free lifetime warranty - appears the NBS at ar15discounts has a 30 day no-questions-asked refund policy
Yeah but ar15discounts has no tax and free shipping
I've dealt with ar15discounts. I like 'em. They've treated me well. They offer free shipping for orders of $150 and above. (sometimes offer free shipping for specials priced less)
In this particular case I'd go with the toolcraft from wcarmory vs the NBS from ar15discounts. A well known brand with a great reputation, lower total cost and a better warranty.
wcarmory doesn't charge tax for GA residents, which has become rare. My total cost for the toolcraft from them would be $119.13.
Hey, have you checked-out ar15discounts sister site? https://dirtybirdusa.com/... Sometimes they offer products for less there. I just checked there and they ARE offering the toolcraft DLC BCG for $109.95 no tax (for me) and free shipping, so this does beat wcarmory's total price.

I didn't see that particular BCG being offered on ar15discounts. Scroll to the bottom of a page at dirtybirdusa and compare the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" policy to the same policy shown at the same place on the ar15discounts site. The policy at dirtybirdusa sounds better.
"Install it, test it out, beat it up. If it doesn't perform to your liking, we'll take it back" Great policy!



Does Toolcraft make these for NBS ?
