Just wondering... has anybody here tried roller cams on their AR BCG's, and if so what'd you think of 'em?
On the one hand I'm considering adding a Hydra-Fire drop-in to my DSA phosphated BCG... OTOH the phosphate was only meant to be a "basic starter" and eventually replaced with a nitrided, NiB or NP3 anyway... other than the price, the POF "Ultimate" with factory NP3, roller cam and one-piece carrier/gas-key design has a certain appeal too. POF has a bit of name reco, HF is "huh, who?"
Reference links:
Hydra-Fire drop-in Roller Cam Pin
POF upgrade kit <broken link removed>
POF "Ultimate BCG" <broken link removed>
I kind of like the idea of reduced drag and wear, but I'm not sure this $100 no-warranty-that-I-know-of BCG+CH combo is really worth the extra $35 to try to fully kit-out with every "would be nice" goodie-bag under the sun--as it is, when I upgrade unless the hand-me-downs go into a parts-box for my gal the CH latch I upgraded is getting downgraded back to as-shipped.
Any experience with these out there in TV Land?
