Not every bolt carrier group is interchangeable across every AR-15 configuration. Compatibility can depend on the receiver setup, cartridge, gas system, internal components, and manufacturer specifications. PVD coating does not replace the need to verify fit and function. Confirm the component’s compatibility with the firearm manufacturer or a qualified gunsmith before installation, and discuss coating requirements before sending a part for processing.
