Ok So way back when I got my first parts kit from Palmetto State I noticed that it had no markings indicating that it was tested, the kit I bought was indeed supposed to come with a tested bolt but I figured they might just not mark them for some reason, until I got a second kit from them and low and behold It was marked. So I sent them an email and about a month later I heard back from them and they agreed to do an exchange. I sent them my non marked bolt and a couple weeks later I received my replacement, I tore open the package like a kid on christmas and the first thing I noticed about my beautiful new Bolt Carrier Group was that it was so new it.........Sparkled ?
So yea there are several sections of the BCG that look like this and I'm not sure what I should do. The bolt is pretty stiff but not so much I don't think it would work but I've never had a BCG that looked like this. I haven't had that many BCG's in my life though so maybe this is normal ? Is this going to go away with time or is this incomplete nitriding ?
In other news this one is also not marked as being tested either so I'm not sure if its going back anyways, I'm kinda tired of sending stuff back and forth already but if the general consensus is it needs to go back, well back to the UPS store I go I guess =\.
So what say you? Did I get bamboozled again or will my BCG stop looking like it spent a weekend around a bunch of filthy ravers after a little while ?
