I am looking am some bcg/Nickel boron. I was wondering what you guys suggested.

I have been looking at the Fail zero but only carrier is in stock at brownells.

Can you a different bolt on these? I was thinking about the jp bolt with the fail zero.

Let me know your thoughts and if these are interchangeable or not.

Good question. I too have been looking for a fail zero but have not had any luck. I wonder if any bcg that is the nickle boron would be just as good?

I figured you would want to know preacherman as I know your putting together an ar also. Wish I had went with the billet seekins instead of the forged but its still nice.

You should be fine. I've never tried it, but I've swapped bolts and carriers a few times with no issues.

IIRC, the new JP enhanced bolt uses a different extractor, but otherwise is "mil" compatible. So unless the FailZero uses something proprietary in their carrier (don't think they do), then you can use the JP bolt with the FZ carrier.

Brownells also had FZ bolts in stock, but you only get the FZ hammer with the package you linked to.
