"shaved at bottom rear" ????? Sounds like you are talking about the bolt carrier..not the bolt. If these are actual M16 parts some modification would need to be done for legality reasons..ATF says if it has 1 single FA part in it...its a MG.... BM's catalog has a nice diagram to show the differnces between M16 and AR parts. Its on page 30 of their most recent catalog.

I have m-16 bolt carriers and they work well in the semi-auto varieties. I have mixed them with civilian bolts and had no problems. I always check the headspace though.
I did modify mine so as to resemble the semi-auto version so as to not run afoul of the Fed's. They are damn hard and tough on cutting tools. Grinding them and then re-parking might be an easier way to go. FWIW....Geno |

Don't put a '16 bolt in a Colt with a sear block.

Sorry KHB, you are right. I did mean the bolt carrier was shaved at the rear. Thanks for being on the ball and reminding me to use the proper nomenclature if I want proper answers. Seeing the feed back about M-16 bolts, I'm not to interested in buying any. Once again, this site has prevented a fool from soon being parted from his money. Is there any difference between the actual bolt with AR-15 and M-16?

The bolts on the AR15 and the M16 are the same, however, it's my understanding the firing pins are slightly different. How, I don't know for sure. Augie |

This would be a good place to add this link from the Old AR15.com.
old.ar15.com/docs/AR15-M16Parts/ It will show the different bolt carriers. IIRC, the M16 firing pin has a larger diameter collar on it. |

The M16 firing pin might cause you reliability problems. The larger "collar" has been known to catch on the hammer causing the bolt not to go all the way forward.
