Actually it was a Bushmaster M16 bolt, and the guy did say he bought it used, it crapped out about 1200 rounds for him in Full Auto.

Now in general, Bushmaster do not ship full auto M16 bolts with their rifles. If you go semi auto, your bolt life increases 2-3 times. Also Bushmaster has excellent customer service, so if you do get premature wear, they will make it right. All Bolts are prone to failure, that is the design flaw of the AR.

A bolt is a bolt, no difference in them between AR15 and M16, the carrier is what is different

that's right

Most people buy the carrier complete, and we all get "Bolt" and "Bolt Carrier Group" mixed up sometimes.
