FAXON SUPERFINISHED 9MM PCC BLOWBACK FULL-MASS BCG GLOCK®/COLT® GEN 2 - NITRIDE
FaxonDescription
FRTs, Super Safeties & the Removable Weight
Most forced reset triggers and super safeties need clearance under the rear of a PCC carrier. The Faxon 9mm BCG solves that with a user-removable weight: take it out and the carrier clears most FRTs and super safeties without any cutting. Pulling the weight also lowers reciprocating mass, so re-check your buffer and spring; JP Enterprises and similar short-stroke buffer systems are designed around a carrier without the weight. Follow your trigger and buffer makers' setup guidance.

| Forced reset trigger (most models) | Weight out |
| Super safety (most models) | Weight out |
| Full-auto fire control group | Compatible (M16 geometry) |
| JP Enterprises / similar short-stroke buffer | Weight out |

FAQs
Will this 9mm BCG work with a forced reset trigger?
Yes, with the removable weight taken out, which is what most FRTs require for clearance. No carrier cutting is needed. Re-check buffer and spring after removing the weight and follow the trigger maker's setup guidance.
Will it work with a super safety?
Yes. Like most FRTs, most super safeties need the removable weight out for clearance. With it removed, the carrier works without modification.
Is it full-auto compatible?
Yes. The carrier uses M16 geometry with a ramped bottom and is compatible with full-auto fire control groups where legally owned.
What is the removable weight for?
It lets you tune reciprocating mass. Leave it in for a standard buffer setup; take it out for most FRTs and super safeties, or for JP Enterprises and similar short-stroke buffer systems.
What lowers does it fit?
Glock®-pattern and Colt-pattern 9mm AR lowers, plus MP5-magazine lowers.
Is there a refresh kit for this BCG?
Yes. The 9mm BCG Refresh Kit (FF-BCGPK-02) replaces the extractor, extractor spring and O-ring, firing pin, firing pin spring and retaining pins.

Fits Aero ECP-9
I got this because Aero Precision hasn’t had a BCG for their ECP-9 in stock for months. I was worried about compatibility/reliability but after 500 rounds, no malfunctions! The only reason for 4 stars is I’m seeing some severe wear on the bolt carrier and firing pin. Weapon is properly lubricated. I will see if this continues as round count gets higher. Recommend for anyone who doesn’t want to wait for Aero Precision.

Perfect fit and finish as expected!
This is my 3rd bolt carrier group from Faxon and I will not buy a different brand for any of my builds! It flawlessly functions in my Aeroprecision EPC and has the perfect fit and finish that I have come to expect from Faxon on any product that I have bought! Buy Faxon and you will only have to buy that part once for that gun specific gun!

Solid BCG - It's a BEAST !
I am really looking forward to completing my AR-9 build. The Faxon BCG is very well made with a lot of mass. I may even have to lighten the 9pmm buffer I have. I appreciate the reviews from various online channel's recommending this 9mm BCG
