Both can be had for the same price right now. From what I've read, people have varying opinions, with people swearing by each. Anyone have experience or opinions of one vs the other?
If you're going to put 30,000 rounds through it you can probably see a wear difference. If you're going to put a few rounds through it here or there you'll never be able to discern a difference.
Most people never put anywhere near the number of rounds required to assess any part of an AR, let alone a coating choice on a BCG.
I honestly don't get the "easier to clean" mantra. I've cleaned both and seen no difference. Soak a rag and wipe the thing off.

I don't get that either, but what does appeal to me is the claim that they can be run dry and still run well, where that would be an issue for a normal bcg. I don't own any coated ones, but it seems like a good choice for a shtf rifle if the claims are true.
So what you're saying is, you're not running them dry.
What about titanium coated bcg .
The coating used on end mills is roughly 3/4 the hardness of diamonds .
They are dry, I only do the first coat with a hair drier and wipe dry, no wet Frog lube anywhere.

That's interesting. Of course you know you're going to get bashed for the froglube now.
