i currently have a 20" barrel upper assembly. i plan on changing my 20" upper for a 16" upper assembly. can i use the old bolt and carrier assembly from the 20" upper to the new 16" upper? or will this be a problem. thanks for any info! |
yeah, should be fine, as long as nothing has really high round counts might not be a bad idea to get a bolt for the new barrel, then swap that with the uppers |

I recommend against "sharing" a bolt between two uppers, but if you were selling the 20" upper and replacing it with a 16" upper, you should be fine. "Sharing" a bolt will cause it to wear more because it "settles in" to each barrel after a couple hundred rounds. |
