We carry mil-spec, Nickel Boron, Nitride, and Phosphate-finished BCGs from top-tier brands like Fail Zero, Aero Precision, BCM, Spike’s Tactical, and Sons of Liberty Gun Works — all trusted by competitive shooters, duty officers, and everyday gun owners alike.
🧰 What Is a BCG and Why Does It Matter?
The Bolt Carrier Group is the heart of your AR-15 or AR-10. It's responsible for:
- Cycling rounds and extracting spent casings
- Striking the firing pin with proper force
- Maintaining consistent chamber pressure
A poor-quality BCG means misfires, jams, and poor reliability.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Bolt Carrier Groups
Q: Do I need a full-auto BCG for my AR-15?
Yes. Full-auto carriers (M16 profile) are legal and provide extra mass for smoother cycling and reliability.
Q: Is Nickel Boron better than Nitride?
Nickel Boron is self-lubricating and easier to clean, especially in suppressed or high-round-count rifles. Nitride is a great, cost-effective alternative.
Q: Can I use an AR-10 BCG in my AR-15?
No. AR-10 and AR-15 BCGs are not interchangeable due to size and platform differences.
Q: What is MPI testing?
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) detects micro-cracks in the steel, ensuring long-term durability.
Q: Are your BCGs made in the USA?
Yes. We stock U.S.-manufactured BCGs from trusted American brands.
