This thread (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=14534&highlight=Bolt+CaRRIER) has some good pictures of the differences between the two.

M16 carrier has more material at the rear, and a fully shrouded firing pin. It is also heavier, slowing down the cycling speed. It is legal to have a full auto carrier in a semi auto gun.
