Search the web for Nickel Boron or EXO coating, there is a ton of info out there on these BCGs.

They work great, mine has never seen a drop of lube and never had a non-ammo related failure.

Yep. They're great. After a trip to the range shooting suppressed, the BCG wipes clean with just a towel. I still use a little CLP just because, but that's just a habit I can't break.

Any difference between the Fail Zero and Spike's Tactical BCG that is coated in nickel boron?

Well I have a FZ charging handle that is not polished, and I can tell the difference, especially after I polished the contact points on it. Polished EXO coating feels like glass, unpolished feels about like bare aluminum. |

Do those using it get the whole kit with the hammer too?
If so, is it compatible with just mil-spec FCG parts, or aftermarket trigger groups too? Thanks. -JC |

Thanks. -JC you can use it with or without the hammer... i used it with the hammer in one kit, with a spikes battle trigger set up in another, with an LWRC coated FCG in another and now i am using it with a Geissele S3G. the hammer is used with a standard FCG is smoother than a standard FCG (keep in mind though that milspec FCGs will smooth on their own with time, and you can't compare them against each other because "feel" will vary from batch to batch and user to user. the Spikes battle trigger setup is one of my favorites, it is super slick and crisp, but it has a heavy pull (which is is designed for)... using a JP lightweight trigger spring on that made it lighter but more "mushy" the LWRC is about the same as the Spikes, maybe a TINY bit crisper... but i prefer the way the Spikes feels on my finger (weird i know) the Geissele is the only non coated hammer i use anymore... and its beautiful and amazing and i love it. I wish i could afford to drop it into all my ARs. Sample size of one remember. |

here's a question, what is the difference between the AR-15 kit, and the M16/M4 kit? is one full auto versus semi auto only? I can't find any information on their website as to what the difference is...

I can't find any information on their website as to what the difference is... From what i recall, both kits (assuming you buy direct from FZ and not buying through someone else where you risk going through backstock) will include the M16 Carrier... they stopped offerring the semi auto carrier altogether. The M16 kit will have a full auto hammer. the AR kit will have a SA hammer. Quoted:
anybody ran one of these suppressed? have not personally, but most of the people who run it suppressed are VERY happy with it. |

Thanks for the answer Durabo. That's what I thought. I'd like to get the FZ BCG kit one of these days. My plan would be to have it for a suppressed SBR ultimately.
