Is it possible to swap the BCG from one of my rifles out to another?  I'm asking because I just picked up a new upper which needs a BCG and wanted to know if I could borrow one from another rifle while waiting on the new one to arrive.

yes, unless the bolt shows excessive wear

A BCG will work from any AR-15 rifle in another, despite the different variants or full vs semi.  If you want to be safe you should get a set of headspace gauges and check the rife when switching, especially if you are using well used BCGs. This is a part under a lot of stress so I always drop a gauge in just to be safe. It'll probably work if you don't, but don't blame me for any nasty issues!

The bolt is pretty new with less than 100rds on it.

Just don't keep swapping it back & forth between rifles.
