    Bolt Carriers

    I've read many people say that they would only use a M-16 bolt carrier in their rifles because they are milspec and mpi'd instead of the standard semi-auto bolt carriers.This was standard practice back in the 80's when I purchased my first CAR-15, but now I'm confused. I thought the ATF said that you can't use even one M-16 part or else the rifle would be considered f.a. This would include triggers, hammers, selectors, bolt carriers, etc. Any input on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks.

    The ATF has been pretty clear that they feel an M16 carrier is fine and acceptable in a semi-auto-only AR.

    They do not appreciate any fire-control parts in the lower, however. (Trigger, disconnector, hammer, etc.)

      They are not illegal:
