What is a M16 BCG?
M16 style configurations have more material toward the rear of the carrier, called a full auto lug. This additional material is necessary for the full auto sear to function. Due to the extra material, M16 bolt carrier groups have an increased weight.
Whats the difference between an M16 BCG and an AR-15 BCG?
The difference is in the carrier itself. On the M16 BCG, there’s a little more material on the back of the carrier, which allows compatibility with a full auto sear. This means that the M16 BCG weighs a bit more than the AR-15 BCG. So which one should you get?
What is the best finish on a BCG?
Chrome is a finish well suited to the harsh environment where the bolt carrier group operates. Chrome is extremely hard which makes it very wear resistant. It also has high corrosion resistance as well as a natural lubricity.
What makes BCG full?
First off, “full-auto” BCGs are legal and don’t magically make your AR-15 automatic firing. The slightly longer and heavier bolt carrier group has an additional lug at the rear of the bolt carrier group. On a full-auto AR-15 or M16, this rear lug pushes the sear release downwards which allows full auto (or burst) fire.
