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.)Please read the Calguns Wiki
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
