What does everyone thing of these?
The carrier is 8620 and the bolt is Carpenter # 158.
I guess ultimately my question is if their are any downsides to a 8620 carrier vs a 158 carrier?
I don’t believe carriers are 158, only the bolt.
This was my understanding as well. However, now that I think about it, I have no idea what a mil-spec carrier is made of.
8620? I believe
Spikes BCG is gtg
All of this has been hashed and rehashed dozens or hundreds of times. One need only look at what a Colt or BCM carrier is made from.
