Description
LaRue has spent years earning a reputation for accuracy, and the Texas Spec BCG is a big part of how their rifles run so clean. This is the very same bolt carrier group that goes into LaRue's Stealth uppers, so you're getting a piece that's already been proven in complete guns rather than something built to a bare minimum spec. It's a full-auto profile M16 carrier chambered for 5.56 NATO, and it also plays nice with .223 Remington.
What Sets the Texas Spec BCG Apart
The standout feature here is LaRue's proprietary Gas Seal orifice, which tightens up gas efficiency inside the carrier and keeps cycling consistent shot after shot. The gas key is staked in place so it stays put under pressure, and the whole assembly is machined to tight tolerances for proper headspace and timing. When folks pair this bolt with a LaRue barrel and their MBT-2S trigger, sub-MOA groups are the norm rather than the exception.
Finish and Everyday Upkeep
This one wears a phosphate finish, which is the tried-and-true military standard. It holds up against corrosion and wipes down easy at the end of a range day, so you spend less time scrubbing and more time shooting. If you don't feel like paying extra for fancy coatings, this is a carrier that leans on solid machining and materials instead of marketing.
A Drop-In Upgrade for Your 5.56 AR
It arrives as a complete unit with the bolt assembly and firing pin already installed, so there's no fussing with parts. Whether you're finishing a fresh build, replacing a worn or broken bolt, or just want a carrier group with a real track record behind it, the Texas Spec is a dependable pick that's seen use by military, law enforcement, and folks who just love putting rounds downrange. Drop it in your mil-spec upper and get back to shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the LaRue Texas Spec BCG ready to install right out of the box?
Yes. It ships as a complete bolt carrier group with the bolt assembly and firing pin already in place. Just drop it into your 5.56 AR upper and you're good to go, no extra parts needed.
Will the Texas Spec BCG work in my standard AR-15?
It's built for mil-spec 5.56 NATO AR-15 and M4 platforms and also runs fine with .223 Remington. It uses the full-auto M16 carrier profile, so it fits any standard mil-spec upper receiver.
What is the LaRue Gas Seal and why does it matter?
The Gas Seal is LaRue's proprietary orifice design that tightens up gas efficiency inside the carrier. It helps keep the rifle cycling consistently and reduces gas blowback, which contributes to the smooth, reliable function LaRue is known for.
Is this the same BCG LaRue uses in their rifles?
It is. The Texas Spec is the exact bolt carrier group LaRue runs in their Stealth uppers and complete rifles. You're getting a proven, tested component rather than a bare-minimum spec carrier.
