Our new Reduced Friction Black Nitride BCG utilizes strategically located bearing surfaces to reduce carrier contact and friction. By adding in machined lubrication channels and surfaces in addition to the minimal bearing surfaces, reliability is increased immensely.
A slight increase in weight also ensures proper dwell time and extraction. A case hardened 8620 steel carrier with an advanced low friction Black Nitride coating is the base for this BCG.
We used a fully machine 4130 steel gas key instead of a MIM key like a majority of manufacturers, and then used grade 8 hardware with proper staking to attach it the a machined channel for proper locating and zero chance of movement. A case hardened 4340 cam pin holds in the shot peened, case hardened 9310, and Black Nitride coated bolt.
The bolt is Mil-STD-1816 HPT and MPI tested and includes a crane O-ring on the shot peened case hardened 4340 steel Black Nitride coated extractor. A milspec firing pin made from centerless ground 8740 steel that is hard chrome coated, takes care of the primer ignition.
Every single piece of this BCG went through a level of scrutiny that is rarely given in order to bring you the best BCG out there.

BCG BLACK NITRIDE CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Calguns Veteran Member ChicoRedneck writes:
I ran 500 rounds through a 10.5" pistol upper and have been impressed. The lubing channels were the most quantifiable improvement on the design over a standard bolt. I would need to run an equal number of rounds through identical guns with the exception of the bolt carrier to test the benefits of the reduced friction design. I experienced no stoppages or malfunctions, and the carrier wiped clean. The slightly extra weight of the carrier makes it a great candidate for SBR or pistol AR15s, causing increased dwell time.
Being a guy who uses grease on the charging handle and gas key, the lube channels became an obvious area to apply more grease. As expected, the grease stayed in the channels and fed the lubrication of the bolt.
I am a huge fan of nitriding. It is far superior to both chrome and nickel boron coatings in terms of durability and corrosion resistance. I left the bolt in a bucket of tap water for 3 days. I live in Nevada and our water is laden with minerals. After pulling it out, it looked brand new still.
After testing it in the pistol, I moved it to a new 20" rifle I built for myself. After testing head space, I ran another 50 rounds through the gun. Again, it functioned flawlessly.
Great machining, excellent finish, smoother cycling, pretty good price
Cons:
I cant say that there are any. Maybe ship it out a little faster. Lol
This is an excellent bolt carrier group, I was a little skeptical until I received, but now I am truly impressed, the machining is just flawless then nitriding seems to be evenly coated. This thing is smooth. Add some clp and it is really much smoother cycling than black phosphate by far. I wished I would have ordered more now. But I was just giving Ares a try . Now I know and will not have any reservations ordering from them again. Im sure a lot of my friends will be ordering from Ares now too. Now I want to try the NiB reduced friction bcg.

I only have about 90 rounds though my AR with this BCG but no failures of any kind. It was super slick after lubing it and damned slick prior. It's really an interesting design and very well made.
Well worth the money especially if you are starting a new build. It's at the same price point of lesser made BCG's.

This bolt carrier group is a very nice one, extremely slick when oiled, and very well made for the price.
I'm personally recommending this over aim surplus bcg at a similar price point

Pros:
smooth as silk
Cons:
does not come in an AR10 version
OUTSTANDING - could feel the difference as soon as I took it out of the wrapper. Could hear and feel the difference when I inserted in my upper. Lubed it up and dropped about 200 through it . Wiped it down and it looked like new , no wear on upper either. Think you got something here boys/ Now if you could make this in a AR10 version you would be on the right track.
P.S. Liked it so much I decided to sell my others and bought 5 more

Awesome Bcg
Cons:
The slowest turnaround time.
Great BCG no doubt about that. The reason why I am not giving 5 stars is it shouldn't take 7 days to process a order and still haven't shipped it yet . Ares you guys have great products but you need a better turnaround time. I will have to shop elsewhere if this is the norm.

This BCG is simply AMAZING! Will buy more, no question about it. If you are trying to decide to get this, don't think just do. If they went up $100 more I'd still get another. Smooth an clean running. NEED MORE!!!!!

Pros:
Price, Performance, Looks slick
Cons:
It wasn't free
Excellent BCG. My buddies have spent the same amount of cash or even more for BCG's that were not half as nice as this one. The price is unbeatable, just like its performance. I've ran dirty steel cased ammo as well as match grade brass cased ammo through it with no hiccups at all. It's also worth mentioning that I received my order 2 days after it was confirmed. Don't skimp out on a shoddy BCG, get one of these.

A very slick BCG (Get it? Slick? See what I did there?). Drops right into m milspec upper, very good attention to detail on the finish. An extremely high quality BCG and if I where buying another I would be getting one of these. The only draw back it that the Ares Armory name is visible when the dust cover is open. Not a big deal but I don't like doing a company's advertising for them automatically, if I like a product I will be telling every one about it.
