Is the Colt Canada BCG particularly unique, or or does it offer any qualities which are superior to other BCGs?

Relative to other modern expensive BCGs, where does it fall, and where does it fall short?

What is the black coating made of, and what is the steel?

If anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it/
 
Short answer is no, its nothing magically better than other options out there despite whatever CC fan boys will tell you.
 
Nothing about Mil Spec is 'unique' that's the point. It's designed to do a job and keep doing it for a specified number of rounds before failure.

If you want that Vs the latest nickle boron titanium lightweight super shiny competition BCG pick the Colt (or something similar).

Some stuff about CC is 'unique' by comparison with Mil Spec - the barrels particularly IMO. Other than that, I think it's just pride amongst CGNrs that a home based company can produce rifles that the worlds Elite like. And we can buy those same rifles (mostly).

No other civilians around the world can purchase Colt Canada, heck no one can export them from Canada (seen invoice from O'dell's clearly said some like FOR DOMESTIC CIVILIAN USE ONLY, NO EXPORT).

also I didn't clean my CC complete rifle for 3000 rounds, only added G96... The thing ran flawlessly, i ran two patches thru the bore and it came out shiny again.
 
I think one of the biggest factors in favor of the CC bolt is the quality control. They are an exceptional bolt as are others but are perhaps better QC tested than many other bolts. Can you get a better one? Of course.

The US military spec for a bolt is 5,000 rounds. Colt Canada are 15,000.

It's a bit irrelevant until you tell us what is the recorded MTBF of the other BCGs. I would not be surprised that most other BCG happily reach 15 000 without issue.

Unless of course the CC one is made of a steel/canadium alloy harvested on the surface of Mars during a solar storm !

:p

An average bolt failure round count is about 7-8000 rounds, so if CC is stating theirs in in the 15,000 round range maybe it's a different alloy?

I know the fancy 9310 alloy bolts (Like the JP enhanced one I have) are supposed to last for 25-30,000 rounds but I sorta take that with a grain of salt...

IT'S MADE OF ADAMANTIUM.
 
The difference between CC and many (not all) others is that CC parts are done right - every time. Not much chance of "getting a bad one", because unlike many makers, they actually look for bad ones before releasing the product. You're not going to be a "beta tester" with CC products.
