Bolt Carriers Assembly Availability

ANNOUNCEMENT: BOLT CARRIER ASSEMBLY AVAILABILITY

Anvil Arms is pleased to announce the formation of a new company, Anvil Manufacturing. Anvil Arms will continue to
manufacture premium quality AR15 type weapons in both custom and standard configurations while Anvil Manufacturing
will begin providing premium quality components for the AR15 family of weapons.

Anvil Manufacturing has contracted with one of the premier machine shops in the country to act as our manufacturing
facility. This shop is fully ISO/TS 16949:2002 compliant, uses state of the art air purification systems for employee and
machine health and maintains a “No floor dry” policy to keep the facility and equipment clean, maintained and well
organized.

The CNC machine list is impressive and includes 4 multi-station Hydromat machines, 75 Screw machines ranging from
very small to huge, 22 Turning and milling machines and a vast array of highly accurate technical inspection equipment for
the ultimate in quality control.

Our in house staff includes mechanical engineers, metallurgists, heat treating and dedicated quality control specialists. This,
combined with the above noted machines and our highly skilled operators and in house heat treating facility ensures we
have the ultimate in quality control.

The first product we will be bringing to the AR market is going to be complete Bolt Carrier Assemblies. By the close of 2009
we will have produced in excess of 150,000 units. The first of these will be available starting July 25th, 2009. These will
not be just any bolt carrier assemblies, these will be the very best production units available. In most cases the tolerances
allowed by the Mil-Spec have been cut in half requiring our product to be even more stringently made and inspected. Below
is a short list of just some of the things we are doing to insure the best possible product.

This project alone represents an initial investment in machines and tooling of 4.8 Million Dollars. Only the very best, most
accurate machines and cutting tools are being used. Cutting tool replacement cycles have been scheduled to be shortened
from normal industry standards to help insure that all tools maintain the intended sharpness and dimensions.

Bolt materials will be either Carpenter 158 or 9310. Both will be available to the client. Carpenter 158 is a small up-charge.
(Most all US made commercial bolts are made from 8620 steel, 9310 is far superior, Carpenter 158 is Mil-Spec)

• ALL (100%) of the bolts will be Magnetic Particle Inspected as per Mil-Spec.
• All Bolts will be shot peened to relieve stress.
• All Bolts will feature an undercut of 0.020” on the one locking lug directly opposed to the extractor slot. This has
been shown to relieve the stress on the two locking lugs next to the extractor slot and greatly extends bolt life.
• All Bolt Carriers will be hard chromed inside the bolt bore per Mil-Spec.
• All Gas Keys will be internally hard chromed per Mil-Spec.
• We are making our own certified grade 8 bolts for the gas key. These bolts will feature extra aggressive knurling to
help provide a better contact area for the staking operation.
• Gas Key bolts will also have high temperature scotch grip pre-applied to the threads to help insure they do not
ever come loose.

3 different bolt carrier assemblies will be offered, all at the same price.

• The standard M16 carrier will be available for those with a need for full automatic capability.
• A standard “cut back” semi-automatic carrier for those wanting a traditional semi-automatic carrier.
• The “Anvil Carrier” This carrier is intended to address the needs of those individuals that want the extra weight of the
full auto carrier but do not want any of the possible legal ramifications of having a full auto carrier in their weapon. To
accomplish this we simply take off 10% of the bottom portion of the carrier in the critical area and slant the very bottom
slightly to make this carrier 100% guaranteed not to be visually confused with a full auto carrier and 100% never able to
activate the auto sear, but at the same time, maintain almost all of the weight of the full auto carrier. We all know the weapon
functions better with the heavier carrier, now you can have the proper weight and be 100% without any legal worries. This is
soon going to be come “The” semi automatic carrier.

This is just a short list of the improvements and quality concerns we are addressing. A more thorough list and technical data sheet is
available.

Introductory MSRP is going to be $140 for the assembly with the 9310 bolt and $15 additional for the Carpenter for a total of $155.
Dealer pricing starts at only 10 units and there are quantity price breaks up to 10,000 units.
Prices DO NOT include shipping to your location.

COOL!

the more the merrier. specs look nice. always heard good stuff re: AA stripped lowers

Good Deal.Been wondering why more manufacturers were not making BCG’s.
Interesting to me was the mention of the relieved bolt lug opposite the extractor similar to what Armalite uses.First Ive heard any other manufacturer mention that feature.
The “Anvil carrier” will probably be very popular with alot of folks.

so who wants to get in on a batch deal if that’s allowed?

hopefully come July, no more 1 per order , that is only if you are fast enough:D

Jon, will the carpenter bolt be offered separately?

No HPT for the bolts?

Looks like somebody did not download the PDF… :eek:

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PDF (It is 2.3mb so give it a minute) :cool:

The very last page… even has prices listed :wink:

Frankly, batch-testing is good enough for me. HPT will reduce the lifespan of the bolt.

Bill Alexander changes my way of thinking on this.

Hey Anvil-Arms!! Know what would be sweet???

These with an Ion-Bond coating!!! I would be so down for one of those!

Jon,

Thank you for posting this, and thanks for making this investment. I believe it will definitely pay off for you. I will be ordering a pair for two builds, when they are availible.

Best wishes for success in this venture.

BCM doesn’t HPT all their bolts either. The one I just received has brass on the face so maybe it did get tested.

Sweet

Yeap Ive recently talked with a couple M.E.'s involved with weapons design here locally and have rethought my BCG fetish in regards to HPT.
Combine that with the info provided on this forum by some of the Industry Professionals,Im rethinking what I had originally considered to be the best approach to a quality assembly.
Some excellent info provided here:

BlackDiamond Ionbond them and I’ll take a dealer quantity; need one spare(at least)for every carbine!:smiley: FIRST POST!!
