458 SOCOM BCG – Nickel Boron Bolt Carrier Group for AR-15
Heavy-Hitting Performance Demands a Heavy-Duty BCG
The .458 SOCOM cartridge is built for serious impact — and your AR-15 needs a bolt carrier group that can match that power. The 458 SOCOM BCG from Fail Zero is engineered to handle the unique pressures and cycling demands of this large-bore round.
With a rugged EXO Nickel Boron coating, this BCG is smoother, stronger, and easier to clean than phosphate or nitride alternatives — ideal for hunting, tactical, or suppressed builds.

❓ FAQs – 458 SOCOM Bolt Carrier Groups
Q: Can I use a standard 5.56 BCG with .458 SOCOM?
No — the 458 SOCOM requires a Type II bolt face and full-auto carrier profile to handle the larger round and increased pressure.
Q: Is this BCG compatible with any AR-15 lower?
Yes — as long as your upper is chambered in .458 SOCOM, the BCG will work with any mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver.
Q: Is Nickel Boron worth it for a .458 SOCOM build?
Absolutely. With the amount of fouling and recoil from .458 SOCOM rounds — especially when suppressed — the self-lubricating EXO coating is a major performance upgrade.
Q: Does this BCG work with suppressed builds?
Yes. Nickel Boron is ideal for suppressor use because it reduces carbon buildup and stays cleaner longer.
