Forgive me but I searched and couldn't really find a good answer. I'm doing my first build and I want to learn about the gun as I'm doing it. I basically have everything right now except the bolt carrier assy. I see that there is enhanced, national match, lightened, magnetic, standard, chromed, ect ect ect. Basically what I'd like to know is what are the benifits of each, is there a big difference and your suggestions. I'm building a target rifle. I have a Noveske stripped lower, a 24 inch stainless bull, timmney 3 lb trigger, stag lower parts kit, and a magpul prs waiting to get all put together. |

For what it's worth, my opinion is that there is abolutely no advantage in spending one penny more than necessary to buy anything other than a standard bolt/carrier assy. All 6 of the ARs at my house have Colt bolts/carriers. All but the one that came in the Colt SP1 I bought in 1977 were purchased as used mil surp pieces at gun shows or from the EE section of this site. They all work just fine. Purchase of a bolt carrier from any of the vendors that advertise on this site should get you a quality unit last will last longer than you will.
