If your carriers shrouded at the firing pin collar it's irrelevant.
(I see in your pic on pg 1 that you indeed have that crappy ramped carrier.... The pin looks ok, but getting a standard carrier is a must)

Actually, the M16 pin is the small one, and the large-diameter comes to us courtesy of Colt, for ARs with ramped carriers.
As for the cost, a new firing pin is $10, retail. A no-name carrier starts at $70, and they go up from there.
If he really wants a new carrier, fine. But a ten-dollar firing pin does solve the problem.

Time to pull out the dial calipers.
markm is correct, it appears. I have a newer LE6920 w/M16/FA carrier and an older 6550 with the neutered BCG and notched hammer, so I broke them out for a test. The firing pin collar on the FA has a larger diameter than the older piece. Running the new firing pin in the old cut-out carrier makes the BCG lock up on the hammer, just like in the OP's pics.
