Hey guys, as the title states. I'm in the hunt for a great bolt carrier for my DD mk18. Its a build gun so some thing pretty would be nice too, perhaps something Anodized, nothing black or chrome, Matte golf perhaps?. Priority one is functionality obviously. This is a target and CQB gun

Help!
 
Instinct would lead me that way, however I'm hoping that there are some people on here with better ideas than me. Prettier too, black and polished are boring
 
I'm pretty sure you can only anodize aluminum and a few types of titanium. If you think a gold color would be pretty then you can get a titanium nitride coating on a BCG. I know S&J does that last time I checked, probably quite a few other sponsor here as well. You honestly don't see the BCG much when the firing sequence is in motion, but to be fair I have a Sharps Balanced BCG which looks great with an open dust cover. Hope you find what you're looking for, but be warned, an AR15 is never "complete".

I guess you could do

but probably not a good idea on a MK18...
 
I have 4 AR's and I run 2 with plain Jane mil spec carriers (1 an LMT & 1 a noveske), as well as a lantac E-BCG and a AAC NiB carrier in the others.
I've put a fair amount of rounds through each and have honestly come to the conclusion that there are no realistic benefits to the various Gucci carriers. All shoot reliably, all clean the same, and I'm confident in saying that all the fancy coatings and what not are just marketing gimmicks.

Buy a plain mil spec carrier and spend the rest on ammo, unless the sole purpose of your rifle is to garner as many social media "likes". Then by all means, Gucci it the f**k up.
