Frequently Asked Questions

Does this BCG include a hammer, and what else might I need to complete my build?

No — as indicated by "No Hammer" in the product name, this bolt carrier group ships without a hammer. You will need to source a hammer separately as part of your lower parts kit. The BCG itself is fully assembled and includes the bolt, extractor, ejector, cam pin, firing pin, and firing pin retaining pin, making it ready to drop into your upper receiver right out of the box.

Does the Nickel Boron coating really allow the BCG to run without lubrication?

FailZero's proprietary EXO Nickel Boron coating is engineered to provide permanent dry lubricity, meaning the BCG can cycle reliably with minimal or no added lubricant. This makes it especially valuable in dusty, sandy, or cold environments where traditional oils can attract debris or thicken. While running completely dry is possible, many shooters still apply a light coat of oil for added peace of mind during extended range sessions.

Is this BCG compatible with .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, and other AR-15 calibers?

This FailZero BCG is designed for standard mil-spec AR-15 platforms chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. It is not intended for use with AR-10 or large-frame platforms, or pistol-caliber conversions that require a dedicated BCG. If you are building in an alternative caliber such as .300 Blackout, the BCG will still function correctly since those rounds headspace off the same bolt face as 5.56 NATO.
