Why Would You Want Coated Gas Rings?
Did you know that gas rings can begin wearing out and reducing their performance in as little as 3,000 rounds? That's because most companies use raw stainless steel gas rings. This is silly because the gas rings in a direct impingement (DI) rifle take the most direct heat from the gas system. Not only does this create a hostile environment for any metal, but add the friction to this, and you begin to see wear extremely quickly. Heat equals wear, and wear equals failures.
We took this into account and decided to coat our gas rings with one of the best coatings on the market for reducing friction and improving wear resistance. These rings are expected to survive at least 4 times longer than standard rings.
Role of Gas Rings in the BCG Cycling Process:
Gas rings play a crucial role in the cycling process of the bolt carrier group (BCG). They seal the gas port, directing the hot gases from the fired cartridge into the bolt carrier, which pushes the BCG to the rear, ejecting the spent casing and loading a new round. Over time, wear on the gas rings can lead to gas leaks, reducing the efficiency of the cycling process and potentially causing malfunctions. Our SP4-coated gas rings ensure a tight seal and consistent performance, even under extreme conditions.
Benefits of the SP4 Coating:
- Reduced Friction: The SP4 coating significantly reduces friction, ensuring smoother operation and less wear on critical components.
- Improved Wear Resistance: With the highest hardness for hydrogenated amorphous carbon coating, these gas rings last longer and resist wear better than uncoated rings.
- Increased Reliability: The enhanced sealing and wear resistance of the SP4 coating improve the overall reliability of your rifle.
- Improved Load Capacity: The SP4 coating allows the gas rings to handle higher loads, making them ideal for high-performance applications.
- Cost Savings: By reducing wear and extending the life of your gas rings, you save on lifecycle part costs.
- Excellent Mechanical, Electrical, and Thermal Properties: The SP4 coating provides superior performance in various conditions.
- High Resistance to Acids and Alkali Attack: The coating protects the gas rings from corrosive elements, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Biocompatibility: The SP4 coating is safe and non-toxic, making it a reliable choice for all users.
