Greetings Forum Members,
Good evening.
I hope this finds you all well and in good spirit.
I am interested in obtaining a dimension from the rear portion of an M16 bolt carrier, best illustrated by the attached image visible below please.
Could someone provide the following dimension to the nearest 1/1000 of an inch please?
Your help would be very much appreciated, thank-you.
May peace be upon you,

Good day and thank-you for your reply.
In answer to your question I would rather use the term correcting what never should have been changed from the design in the first place. Are we not supposed to be a free country?
Thank-you for your suggestion however please know that the matter is slighty more complicated by the fact that I am looking for a left hand version of the full bolt carrier. Have you ever seen one listed on gunbroker or mentioned on the forum please? If you know of a supplier I would be grateful.
Armed with this additional information I am sure you will understand why I have asked the question.
If you are able to answer my original question it would be very helpful; that or could your please verify whether or not the bottom portion which I have indicated in the illustration is symmetrical to the top rear portion on a standard M16 bolt carrier?
Your help would be very much appreciated, thank-you.
May peace be upon you,

Putting a M16 bolt carrier into an AR15 will get you jail time in the US.
Couldn't you just measure the top?
Red's right. The top and bottom have the same dimensions. The only difference is the groove on the bottom for the buffer/buffer spring retaining pin.

Back in the old days gun shops sold these tin pieces of metal like candy out of plastic hoppers on their counters...Until ATF stopped the process.
Now where did all of them go? [:D]
You're on a public board requesting that people give technical data to assist you in violating federal laws, even though this information could be obtained in a number of other, much more low key ways.
In answer to your question, that piece is measured in years.

I was under the impression that using an M16 carrier (carrier alone) in an AR15 was NOT illegal, as it doesn't make it full auto. I swear I was reading one time on Arfcom that some people got some sort of benefit from the slightly heavier carrier, but can't remember now what it was. Again, this is just what I "thought" was legal, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry to say you are wrong. Any one of the 5 or so M16 pieces if found in your AR15 by the BATFE and you are in a heap of trouble. And while you may get off, why give the lawyers that much more money. Just say NO!!!

Through his explanation of why he's machining an M16 bolt...

For some reason, this whole deal gives me the mental picture of a complete stranger walking into a head shop and yelling, "Anyone have any DRUGS they want to sell me?" [:D]
