Trigger Supply M16 Full Auto Cut Bolt Carrier Group
What You're Getting
This is a 100% USA made M16 full auto cut bolt carrier group — the same Colt-spec carrier used in our Super Safety combos, now available as a standalone unit. Everything from the carrier body to the bolt is domestically manufactured to mil-spec tolerances. This is a complete, drop-in BCG ready for any mil-spec AR-15 upper.
The M16 full auto cut carrier is heavier than a standard AR-15 carrier. That added mass produces a slower, smoother recoil impulse — improving reliability across a wider range of ammunition, suppressed setups, and adverse conditions. It is fully legal in all 50 states and functions identically to a standard BCG in any semi-auto lower.
M16 Cut vs Standard AR-15 BCG
Full relief cut on the underside of the carrier. More mass. Smoother, slower recoil impulse. Better suppressor compatibility. Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 uppers. Legal all 50 states in semi-auto builds.
Lighter carrier, no relief cut. Functions identically in semi-auto. Less mass means a sharper, faster recoil cycle — less forgiving in adverse conditions or suppressed setups.
Why M16 Full Auto Cut
- More reliable cycling — heavier carrier provides greater momentum through full travel, clearing dirty or underpowered ammunition that stops lighter carriers
- Smoother recoil impulse — added mass slows the carrier slightly, distributing recoil over a longer window for a flatter, more controllable feel
- Suppressor optimized — M16 carriers handle increased backpressure from suppressed fire more reliably than standard carriers
- Super Safety compatible — the M16 carrier's consistent cycling impulse pairs ideally with the Hoffman Tactical Super Safety's active reset cam
- Drop-in installation — fits all mil-spec AR-15 uppers with no modification required
