FAXON SUPERFINISHED BCG FOR .308 WIN/6.5 CREED/8.6 BLK - GEN 2 - NITRIDE
Description
One Carrier for .308, 6.5 Creedmoor and 8.6 Blackout
All three cartridges share the .308 Winchester bolt face, so one Gen 2 carrier group covers the most popular large-frame AR builds. 8.6 Blackout shooters running subsonic loads should tune gas with an adjustable gas block; heavy subsonic bullets run at far lower pressure than supersonic .308.
Bolt
9310 steel, full mil-spec heat treat, shot peened, HPT and MPI tested, back of lugs chamfered, QPQ nitride.
Extractor
S7 tool steel, fully heat treated, nested .308-spec springs with O-ring, QPQ nitride.
Carrier & gas key
Mil-spec 8620 carrier, 4140 gas key, grade 8 fasteners, fully staked, forward assist serrations.
Cam pin
4140 pre-hardened steel, QPQ nitride.
Made in the USA to Faxon designs and specifications. Faxon checks headspace, laser-engraves each carrier group with the Faxon Shield and a lot number, and gives it a final inspection that verifies the firing pin floats freely, the extractor and ejector are in place, the gas key screws are staked, and the coating is uniform.

FAQs
Does this BCG work with 8.6 Blackout?
Yes. 8.6 Blackout uses the .308 Winchester bolt face, so this Gen 2 carrier group works in properly configured DPMS Gen 1 pattern 8.6 BLK, .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10s. Tune gas for subsonic loads.
Is it DPMS or Armalite pattern?
DPMS Gen 1 pattern, the common low-profile LR-308 standard used by most AR-10 style uppers and barrels. It is not for Armalite-pattern AR-10s or DPMS Gen 2.
What does Gen 2 mean?
Gen 2 is Faxon's refined AR-10 carrier group: 9310 bolt, 4140 gas key and cam pin, QPQ nitride on every part, and a Superfinished carrier body, still DPMS Gen 1 compatible.
Do I need to check headspace?
Yes, unless Faxon headspaced it to your barrel. Check with go/no-go gauges; Faxon recommends Pacific Tool & Gauge.
Can Faxon headspace this bolt to my barrel?
Faxon offers bolt-to-barrel headspace matching on FaxonFirearms.com orders that include a Faxon barrel. Read how the matching service works. If you are pairing the bolt with a barrel that was not headspaced by Faxon, check it with go/no-go gauges before firing.

Ordered with the 20" 6.5 creedmoor Flame Fluted barrel! I somehow did not order the additional "check headspace" deal for $25:bucks! SobI bought go, obgo gauges. The head space was perfect! Sub 1" at 100 yards!

Solid AR-10 BCG.
This is a heavy and solid BCG I was lucky to grab while on sale. It’s gorgeous and feels well made. It’s currently housed in the Faxon upper receiver on the 8.6 BLK I’m building. I can’t wait to test this addition.

Solid in my experience
I’ve read a bit of negative content about Faxon 8.6 products. I’ve experienced the opposite so far. I’m building my second 8.6 semi upper. Both with aero uppers and Faxon bolt barrel and hand guard. This review is on the bolt. So, it’s packaged nicely and they ship well. I receive my orders on or before the day scheduled. I live on an island so good job. What’s important to me, reliability, durability, support and cost, looks is a bonus as well as shipping and the other little stuff. The round count on this build is zero. However my other bolt, which is why I bought another one is 440rds with 160 the most shot in one session. With that, the wear is minimal some very light finish wear where my charging handle rubs on the back side of the gas key. The bolt and ejector are in excellent condition so far. The carrier has a nice slick finish on it that still looks new. My 1st one head spaced good and I have not competed the second yet. My accuracy is about 1-1.5 inches at 100 with lpvo. I am very happy with the Faxon bolt, barrel, hand guard and brake. I will definitely continue doing business with Faxon. My next project will be a bolt 8.6. Other notable parts that make this rifle what it is(very nice) are, Jp silent capture buffer, trigger tech trigger, and I think superlative arms adjustable gas block. All these parts including Faxon are essential to the quality of my build. Good luck and hope this helps. I don’t get anything from anyone for my reviews fyi. I can barely afford my hobby but I love it and that’s why I do it. Have a nice day

Extractor is MIM part, NOT S7 Tool steel!
The extractor broke after only 20 rounds fired. It is a very obvious MIM part, NOT S7 Tool steel as advertised. Contacted via phone messaging and no return call so I used there online platform to contact and 3 working days later they responded with they sub these pars out and they will send me another one and they would like pictures to verify. You would think someone would be checking what they purchased from there vendor before installing it. Or the installer would raise a red flag with management. Boggles my mind.

Fixed issues.
This has worked great since faxon fixed the ejector issues. In fact they replaced my old BCG for a new one with no issues
