    Im just going by what BATFE says. They say no M16 fcg parts can be in a title 1 AR unless its a host for a rdias. M16 carriers are all thats allowed.

    No M16 selectors, disconnectors, or hammers per the man unless they have changed rulings. The Wisconsin guy is in jail for an ar that had m16 fcg parts in it when bumped at a range.

    I took the pic a while ago and have no idea which is which. The only way I can tell them apart is that the Fail Zero doesn't use mil-spec bolts on the gas key. They're grade 8 but the hex key size is larger than mil-spec.

    They are obviously the same exact carrier, however I don't know if the bolt and extractor are the same. I personally would buy the Spike's NiB BCG if it is less expensive. Either way, these things are great. Clean up is super easy and I don't use any lube... and they're aren't any complaints. :D
