The Faxon Superfinished 5.56 M16 Bolt Carrier Group (Nitride) is a high-performance, full-auto compatible BCG engineered to deliver smooth cycling, reliable extraction, and long service life in AR-15 and M16-pattern rifles. Starting with “MIL-SPEC” as the baseline, Faxon refines the details that matter—material selection, inspection, surface treatment, and finishing—to provide a bolt carrier group built for demanding shooters.
This BCG features a 9310 tool steel bolt, salt bath nitride treatment on the bolt and carrier for increased surface hardness and corrosion resistance, and Faxon’s Superfinish on the carrier body to help reduce friction and fouling for easier maintenance.
Why Choose Faxon Superfinished BCGs?
Faxon Bolt Carrier Groups are designed for consistent function in hard-use rifles—from high round-count training to competition and defensive builds. The bolt is MPI tested to verify material soundness, the gas key is secured with grade 8 fasteners and fully staked, and the assembly is built to maintain reliable action with modern triggers and full-auto fire control groups.
