Who This Is For

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "No Hammer" mean, and do I need a separate hammer?
The "No Hammer" designation means this BCG ships without a hammer installed. This configuration is ideal if you already have a hammer from a mil-spec fire control group, are upgrading to a drop-in trigger assembly, or are selectively replacing worn components. You will need a compatible mil-spec hammer installed in your lower receiver for the rifle to function properly.
Does the EXO Nickel Boron coating really eliminate the need for lubrication?
FailZero's EXO Nickel Boron technology provides a permanent dry lubricity that allows the BCG to function reliably with minimal or no added lubrication in normal conditions. While many shooters run it completely dry, applying a light coat of oil in extreme cold, sandy, or high-volume shooting environments is still considered good practice to maximize longevity and performance.
Will this BCG fit my existing AR-15 upper receiver?
Yes — this BCG is built to mil-spec dimensions, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard AR-15 upper receivers chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington. It is not designed for large-frame AR-10 or .308 platforms. If you are running a non-standard or proprietary upper, verify your manufacturer's BCG compatibility specifications before purchasing.
