Cleaning Daniel Defense M4A1 bolt carrier

Will the black eventually wear off?

I'm not sure of the round count on my rifle but it's ~1000 and it seems to be holding up well. I make sure to use plenty of lube when after I clean though. I use g96 if you are interested.

Anyone have success gun grease? I have some grease left over from my 1911. I'm sure the grease will last longer but afraid it'll attract dirt or sand.

I have learned to NOT use marine grease on guns- so that i know!

I now use MOTUL motorcycle oil with esters. Unbelievable how it is wet and stays in place. Like a glue but viscous as heck.

What grease do you have left over? TW25?

I'm currently at work. I know it comes in a white syringe.

Deep down cleaning requires bead blasting. Then grease it up.

Thanks for the replies. It looked dry cause I just finished cleaning it. It probably sounded like a stupid question but I thought it still looked dirty and didn't want to scrub to hard. Sooner or later should I invest in a nickel boron BCG? I've been watching videos online and it seems like that's the way to go.

I figured I'd expound on my earlier answer. I bought a Fail Zero nickel boron BCG. It worked fine I guess, but tarnished quickly so after using it the first time it won't like new any longer. Sure it wiped off a little easier, but in no way did it function better. I'm a mall ninja at heart, but the phosphate BCGs just work. Don't fix what isn't broken.

Yep, that's normal. My DD M4v11 bolt looks like that post cleaning pre oil

Yep I concure, my DDM4v11 looks the same

No such thing as a stupid question concerning ARs with your first! I ask questions just as you, there were some smart remarks, but people here generally want to help!

As for the nbx bcg, it will run cleaner, and not require much lubrication. But make sure you buy a quality one, there are crappy one's out there just like regular bcgs. Great choice on your first rifle. I have a DD and it's my go to AR.
