BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
We are launching our new high-end BCG featuring the Armorlube Duplex DLC/Nitride hybrid coating. This is essentially a very nice DLC coating over a tough nitride treatment, giving you the best of both worlds.
We are offering these to everyone at dealer pricing for the rest of the month. After that they go back to $229.95. We need to get some units out in the wild so we are taking a bit of a hit on these.
We assemble these in house using the best components out there. OCKS screws and hydraulic staking ensure that your gas key screws will never back out. We use a Sprinco 5 coil extractor spring with insert, and also include a mil-spec ejector spring from CSS along with a replacement insert and Viton o-ring for those who don't want the aggressive nature of the Sprinco.
We are testing this BCG now by running it completely dry, no lubricant at all. We have 1000 rounds on it right now and it cleaned up easily and shows virtually no wear. Carbon scraped off with a fingernail. We will keep running in 1000 round increments, cleaning at every 1000 rounds, until we reach 5000 rounds. It looks extremely promising. I would put this BCG up against any of the better known brands.
Clear uppers and lowers should be back from anodize late this week for those who are waiting. We also have clear anodized 80% lowers as well. More black LOW-KEY lowers are in this batch as well. Keep an eye on IG and Reddit for updates. We hope to have customs and clones available again in the next two weeks.

Recently I got this Armorlube version from you guys. What’s the difference between this and your polished DLC version? Which one is better now that it’s been a couple years
zefpomp@reddit
These look A LOT like Sharp's carriers, do they make them for you?
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
No. Azimuth makes the carriers.
zefpomp@reddit
Ah ok, both are using Azimuth
netchemica@reddit
They look very similar but I don't think that Azimuth makes Sharps' carrier. There are some minor differences in the rails and the flared tail.
Archangelus87@reddit
Do toy have any thoughts or concerns on these bcg’s?
netchemica@reddit
I have concerns with the common nitride version. DLC carriers, which have been machined to have a chrome-lined bore, regularly gauge with at least one yellow area.
If these are, in fact, machined specifically for the coating, they should gauge green across the board. I ordered one so I'll find out when it arrives, and I suspect that this BCG will accept at least one yellow gauge. This is based solely on my pessimistic view of most BCG manufacturers and does not reflect on /u/BadAttitudeDept in any way.
throwawayifyoureugly@reddit
Looking forward to your assessment.
netchemica@reddit
I just added this BCG to my BCG post. I'm disappointed in it, it gauges on par with other DLC BCGs which are not machined specifically for the coating.
That, paired with it being a nitrided 9310 bolt, which is a combination that is notorious for premature failure, makes this BCG a non-starter for me. If this was running for ~$130, it would be a soft maybe. But the $170 price tag is way too much in my opinion, let alone the $230 non-sale price.

Thanks for the follow up. Hopefully u/BadAttitudeDept will take this feedback into account.
JohnnyBoy11@reddit
Is yellow out of spec then?
netchemica@reddit
Yellow is still in spec, so is red.
But saying that "in spec is in spec" is like saying that Pizza #1 is the same as Pizza #2.
carefulbingo@reddit
Oh... I am a-waiting.
I will post the SHIT out of that rifle
timwang2006@reddit
What benefit is the nitride layer providing vs just a pure DLC coating?
Sorry, if this is a dumb question but I'm not understanding how the sub layer can provide lubricity in addition to the top layer.
Again, please educate my ignorance but I feel like my DLC only bcg right now is so slick already. Is it added durability?
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
The nitride layer is an additional, extremely hard, case hardening of the metal. So you get the benefit of harder than chrome steel underneath DLC which is very slick. All coatings wear, that’s why machine tooling wears out. On these, when the DLC ultimately wears, you still have an ultra hard surface to protect your BCG. You can’t take a standard nitride piece and apply DLC. Armorlube has a proprietary process to do both.
guthepenguin@reddit
Makes me wish I had the money!
timwang2006@reddit
Awesome thanks! I definitely don't have the ammo budget to wear out any coatings personally but this also isn't really more expensive than just DLC so I'll definitely keep this in mind for my next build.
hitemlow@reddit
I didn't see it in the listing, but these have that, uhhhh, funny little cut on the back bottom of the carrier, no?
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Nothing funny at all. M16 profile with a big butt and sand cuts.
appaulling@reddit
Do your clear upper happen to have the pin hole for wedgelock rails?
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
No. Standard mil-spec upper.
NorthJerseyBozak@reddit
Hey BA, when are some of the clone powers coming back in stock? Looking to pick up a long branch.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Not soon enough. I’m hoping we can machine next weekend. We’ve got plans in motion to stabilize inventory over the next few months. Keep an eye on us for big things coming.
carefulbingo@reddit
sir, any update on the clear ano lowers and the regular sterile lowers? I'm gonna buy both at the same time.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
They came back from anodize on Friday. We are calling the entire lot blemished. They are available on the site now.

Coupon code "iamdissapoint" will get you a significant discount.
joshuabruce83@reddit
Brother I have been waiting on these since I ordered my PSR upper a cpl months ago. Something told me to check if they were in yet. Then I thought oh yea, reddit. Lets see if he left a discount code. Cha-ching! Now I have to decide if I'm going to pair that upper with one of the clear lower I just ordered or to pair it with the Geissele Desert dirt I have. The Geissele with one of your clear anno buffer tube and the PSR upper looked pretty good when I mocked it up to figure out if I'd like the color combo. Welp looks like either way I'm gonna have a left over lower. Not like that's a bad thing. Don't give up on the clear. I mean, idk if there's a demand for it, but I've only found 1 other place has clear lowers that are the Q tan color.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
The PSR billet lowers came out great. We only ran a few though. We are going through some big changes and growing rapidly. Right now we are going to slow down on production and work on some quality procedures, visit some plating vendors, and bring in our first brand new machine. Join us over at www.Reddit.com/r/badattitudedept and get an inside view of the industry. We’ll start posting this weekend.
joshuabruce83@reddit
So are the clear PSR lowers the same-ish honey badger color that the forged ones are? In the pics they look a tad more grey but I'm wondering if its the light it's in
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
That’s just the lighting. They have a gold tone.
https://imgur.com/a/2dVhSzE
joshuabruce83@reddit
Damn it. I like that. Have you guys ever considered clear ano mag bodies to match? That gold you have in it does look pretty dope tho. The mag body is 7075 or 6061?
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Magazines are 6061. They would be a dull grey with no dye in the anodize. Right now we'll just stick to letting Duramag handle magazines!
joshuabruce83@reddit
Ah so it would match the handguard. Of course I believe that dull grey is what those mags typically come in anyways. I hear ya, duramag is killin it so why fix something that's not broken.
joshuabruce83@reddit
Lol I was gonna grab a Keychain but idk how my ffl would react. So I'll grab that later with some of your PSR mags before they all sell out. I seen the video on the Tube the other day and said hey.......I have one of those uppers.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
We had to make a big order of mags to cover the unexpected sales. We’ll keep them in stock now.
carefulbingo@reddit
goddamnit, I had been waiting a long time.
Are they really bad? I ain't gonna pass on them this time, but do they got some serious fuglies?
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Some are worse than others. All of them have a small nick or ding somewhere. Clear anodize accentuates any small blemishes. We are working with a new anodizer to get this process to yield better results. We have also created a new private subreddit where we will start posting about what we are doing to make better lowers as well as answer industry & manufacturing questions. www.reddit.com/r/badattitudedept
carefulbingo@reddit
Also, how do we get to be a part of the sub? let me in!
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
I'm still learning. I think you just have to go to that link and request to join. Then I manually add you. I'm a bit buried with orders at the moment so I'll try to get that up and running and looking nice this weekend. This entire run was troublesome. It made me much more comfortable with the massive amount of money we just spent on a brand new 5 axis mill and CMM so that we can focus on making the highest quality forged lowers around. We'll detail this process in the new sub
carefulbingo@reddit
Hot as fuck sir, I'm sure as shit requesting access and wish you the best of luck. I just sent you my FFL so, keep me in mind. I've already bought from ya and I would do it again.
carefulbingo@reddit
what did they fuck you guys on purpose? hot damn. that's not cool dude. I'm not afraid, thank you for being so patient. I'm sure you recognize me.
Claylock@reddit
Does that include the M4A1 lower with kitty rollmark? Missed out on the last batch, sadly.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Yep. We were a bit surprised how well those did.
NorthJerseyBozak@reddit
10-4, thanks for the reply! I’ll keep my eye out
geekier@reddit
I can't believe I have to ask this but will you ship this to WA state? I'm unsure if BCGs are illegal. I hate this state.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
As of now you are good to go. We will ship until anything is signed. I suggest you join in on whatever class action suit is filed. We have shipped to several Illinois residents who are covered by the TRO there.
codyism@reddit
Damn you, you convinced me to buy one. Awesome bcg for what could be my last one, might as well make it a good one.
spadedracer@reddit
I was going to email you guys about this. On the TRO, going to throw some money at you when the clear anodize arrive.
geekier@reddit
You're the man. Just sent the link to some WA homies on top of my purchase.
Jcarter1632@reddit
Needs the bad kitty on it and I'm a buyer.
californiagunguy@reddit
Looks like I’m late to the party but these guys do good work and ship quick. Waiting on those custom lowers to drop!
Senior-Flight-7042@reddit
Would you ship me one of these without the gas key installed? I need a BCG with a roller cam pin
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
We can pull the gas key if you need. We already built all of them out.
BlueEyedRage@reddit
I didn't see which sub this was and thought this was a lightsaber handle
spyonthisaccount@reddit
Armorrrluuuuuuuuuuuuubbbbbbbbbeeeeeeee
ReDub23@reddit
Are these the same machined components as your older Enhanced BCG with a new coating or completely new?
knfr@reddit
Did you have trouble with the design?
ReDub23@reddit
No, I haven't actually used one. Good company though - I would trust it. Their uppers are really REALLY nice for the price.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Same components except for the gas key screws and extractor springs.
ReDub23@reddit
Thanks!
hitemlow@reddit
Can I buy one now and have you ship it when the pocket lowers drop?
I won't really need it until then anyway and it should save on shipping, right?
saltexas18@reddit
What pocket lowers?!
hitemlow@reddit
Yeah, lowers with the manufacturer/model/serial info in the pocket where it belongs; so you don't have to see it again or cover it for the 'gram.
It's also great because the ATF can't complain about it. A stripped lower receiver is a firearm, and as sold, the information is perfectly visible without the need of tools or manipulating the firearm in any way other than rotating it to meet their eyeballs. So if the ATF tried to say that it's not visible "once assembled", they've admitted that a stripped receiver isn't a firearm.
saltexas18@reddit
Ooooooooh. Thanks for the explain bro!
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Sure, but put it in the notes. I’ll send a code for free shipping on your next order to combine them for you.
hitemlow@reddit
Perhaps I'm having a case of the dumb (or maybe it's NoScript not playing nice), but where is the notes portion? I'm all the way to putting my CC info in and sending it, and I haven't found the notes.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
If you don’t see them, just reply to the confirmation email.
hitemlow@reddit
Oh, I found it, it's under shipping!
That section automatically collapses if I load in a saved address.
Greedoscolddeadhands@reddit
You got me, in for one.
amateur-arms-dealer@reddit
Were coating thicknesses taken into consideration when machining?
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Yes. Final grind dimensions were done to account for this specific coating.
LlTER-O-COLA@reddit
SOTAR liked this
turbo_vanner@reddit
lol
Based-Cheese-Head@reddit
Weird question. Take this and weight it next to say a Colt BCG or FN etc.. is there a weight difference?
Bambinorino@reddit
debating between this or another np3 sionics. seems like a good price for a bcg with some TLC.... bit I also dont have an upper for it :)
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Sounds like a reason to build to me.
Bambinorino@reddit
damn you're a good salesman
whiskeyhoarder@reddit
Are these batch tested to individually? I only ask because I have been on the fence of a SIONICS NP3 bcg and this looks impressive.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
Batch
accountithrewaway@reddit
Are logos possible for these? Or will they be? I have a standard one with a logo from you that I'd love to update with the new coating.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
As soon as we finish testing and make sure markings don’t cause issues, we’ll add that option.
Three0hHate@reddit
Bad Attitude Dept. is mega based. I don’t have a need for another BCG at the moment but I’m very excited to see how people like these.
BadAttitudeDept@reddit (OP)
I'm extremely pleased so far. I didn't think it would make 1000 rounds with no lubricant whatsoever. Of course, you should always lube your BCG, but at least you know you can keep going for a while if you run out!
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Ugh why must my wallet feel such pain...
