6mm ARC BCG – AR-15 Type II Bolt Carrier Groups

Number of Products to Show
Sort Products By

The 6mm ARC bolt carrier group (BCG) is the heart of any AR-15 chambered in 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge. Designed for long-range accuracy and superior ballistics, the 6mm ARC demands a purpose-built, Type II BCG that can handle the cartridge’s unique pressure and case dimensions.

At Mounts Plus, we stock Nickel Boron and Black Nitride 6mm ARC BCGs from trusted names like Fail Zero and Santan Tactical. Whether you’re building a precision rifle, a hunting setup, or a suppressed AR-15, our Grendel-compatible BCGs ensure flawless cycling and reliability.


⚙️ Why a Dedicated 6mm ARC BCG Matters

The 6mm ARC round requires a Type II bolt face—standard 5.56 BCGs won’t cut it. Using the wrong carrier risks misfeeds, poor extraction, and unsafe headspacing. Our BCGs are specifically engineered for:

  • Correct Type II bolt face geometry

  • 9310 steel bolts and 8620 steel carriers

  • MPI-tested, shot-peened construction

  • Drop-in AR-15 compatibility

This means better cycling, smoother operation, and a reliable rifle you can count on for every shot.


🛠️ Finish Options: Nickel Boron vs Black Nitride

❓ FAQ:

Why does 6mm ARC need a special BCG?

Because of its larger case head and higher chamber pressure, 6mm ARC requires a Type II bolt face. This ensures proper headspacing and reliable cycling in AR-15 platforms.


Will a 6mm ARC BCG work in my AR-15?

Yes—as long as your upper is chambered in 6mm ARC. The BCG is drop-in compatible with standard AR-15 receivers.


Which finish is better: Nickel Boron or Black Nitride?

Nickel Boron offers smoother cycling and easier cleaning, while Black Nitride is rugged, corrosion-resistant, and more budget-friendly. Both are excellent choices.


Are these BCGs full-auto rated?

Yes. Most carriers are M16-profile full auto rated, which adds durability and mass for smoother cycling while remaining 100% legal in AR-15 builds.


What comes with a 6mm ARC BCG?

Each unit includes the bolt, carrier, cam pin, firing pin, and retaining pin—fully assembled and ready to drop in.
