Cryptic Coatings 9mm Glock/Colt Style BCG – Bolt Carrier Group

Upgrade your 9mm AR-15 pistol caliber carbine (PCC) with the Cryptic Coatings 9mm Bolt Carrier Group. Purpose-built for 9mm — not adapted from a rifle BCG — this complete bolt carrier group delivers reliable feeding, extraction, and ejection with both Glock and Colt-style magazines (and drop-in magwell adapters).

The advanced PVD/CVD coating provides exceptional lubricity, reduced friction, lower operating temperatures, less carbon fouling, and easier cleaning while giving your build a distinctive high-luster bronze finish. Backed by Cryptic Coatings’ lifetime warranty.
