Most Helpful Positive Review Good Bolt Carrier Group
Bolt had a small blem at the cam pin hole which caused a questionable grove on the cam pin after one day at the range. I emailed Faxon and they sent a replacement right away.

Great Nitride BCG

by ShreikingRobots, Verified Owner from WY, United States Written on December 25, 2025
Like everything from Faxon, this BCG is very well made and the nitride finish is very consistent with no blemishes. It functions perfectly, although it's hard to find a BCG that doesn't at the beginning of it's life span. The nitride finish will hold up better than phosphate or nickel boron, putting it on par with chrome.
Pros:
  • Durabilaty
  • precession machining
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Gas key staking was terrible

by Mark C, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on August 29, 2025
I ordered one of these for an AR that had a Faxon 223 Wylde barrel, so I assumed based on the quality of the barrel. the BCG would be as good. As soon as I opened the packaging and looked it over, the gas key staking was horribly inadequate, it was like it was staked by a child. So unfortunately I had to return it.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Gas key staking
Would recommend: No

works flawless

by Ricardo Gutierrez, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on July 10, 2025
Shoot over 500 rounds of pmc x tac 5.56 out of a Daniel defense 12.5 upper. No issues ran flawless no malfunctions. I used wilson combat gun lube which made it run smooth. I tried it on a different upper and no issues aswell. The one CON is the staking on the gas keys needs to be a little more improved. Other then that ot worked.
