Faxon 5.56 Gunner Lightweight 9310 Bolt Carrier Complete - Nitride

This was a great upgrade to my 3 gun rifle. After a few thousand rounds of with a cheaper lightweight bcg I started to have slam fires. I’ve run 14.5 and 16 inch gunner barrels in my rifle so I knew going with faxon I’d be getting a quality bcg. My rifle has been running flawlessly the last few matches. I’ve been very happy with all my purchases from Faxon.

Amazing quality. I have two light BCG evo Voodoo Adam's Arms high quality 5.56 rifles, and their bolts are an ounce heavier and are piston driven. This bolt is "worth it's weight " to use in a fine build. With a Faxon Barrel and upper receiver you can't go wrong. Very high quality product !

I have the Faxon Gunner BCG in a precision AR build. The low mass of the BCG, combined with an adjustable gas system and suppressor, make recoil minimal. Its very easy to stay on target for rapid follow up shots. I have not experienced any sort of failure with this AR-15 so far. The BCG is very well designed and machined. Faxon has removed material in just about every imaginable area to save weight while maintaining function. The nitride coating makes cleaning very easy. I would definitely buy another one if I was assembling a new precision AR.

Product Fit and Finish is excellent. The carrier is incredibly light and the Nitride treatment is consistent. Pair this BCG with an adjustable gas block and be amazed at the recoil mitigation. Faxon has great customer service and fast shipping. Would buy again.

I have this BCG in a light weight ar I built. I was not sure about using aluminum or Titanium. When my buddy told me about this one I jumped on it. My ar came in at exactly 5lbs. And I was happy about that. But was worried that my reliability would suffer or at least take a while to get dialed in. I have shot a few thousand rounds through it and from day one have had not a single issue. I ordered another one without any reservations. You won't regret it either.

These are some of the best BCG on the market. This runs on par (in terms of weight) as the titanium ones at half the cost. However, this is by no means a cheap (price wise) BCG. The fit and finish is top notch. All the machines parts are smooth without burrs. Nitride coating is even with no hot spots. I like the fact that faxon lists very specific details about their BCG such as the 9310 tool steel used on the bolt assembly. For those who don't know, that's the same material used in the gears of F1 race cars. I have this BCG paired with a JP silent capture spring system using the lightest spring (white). It cycles without a problem. I cannot speak for those who are using standard buffer tubes / springs. I advise anyone who is considering this to look into adjustable gas blocks to tune your gas system. I ran this BCG without an adjustable gas system on my 14.5" mid length but with the JP silent capture. No cycling issues at all. Who is this BCG for? 1. It's for those who are looking for ultralight parts to build an ultra light AR15. My 14.5" AR15 is at 4lb 11oz with a trijicon MRO. Yes. 2. Those who generally want top quality parts and money is not a concern. 3. Those who have too much money.

When I first found out about Faxon and started trying their products I was instantly impressed with the not only quality but, the thought that goes into the items they make. The lightweight rifle build scene is huge right now, and as someone who has always looked to cut as much weight as possible without sacrificing function of my rifles, Faxon's provided a lot of that ability with their products. When I first started looking into a lightweight BCG, of course cutting weight and reciprocating mass was my main want and their were a few available that did that. Tried Spikes, AP, some of the original Houlding lightweight (probably my favorite) BCGs and all did what I was looking for but, I couldn't figure out why anyone hadn't come out with at least one with forward assist serrations? And then came the Faxon Gunner lightweight BCG. My problems with a lightweight BCG that I use while hunting, sometimes needing to slowly and quietly chamber a round were solved. On top of being one of, if not the lightest complete BCGs around, Faxon checked off that forward assist serration box, and as usual made a product that's just a step above the rest. Love it, very very slick QPQ coating, awesome fit and everything else I've come to expect from a Faxon product!
