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.
