Standalone Bolt Carriers?

[6933]

Like who? I keep seeing guys post this without any verification.

Toolcraft promotes this right on their website. Also, IIRC, IG said they made Sionics.

Toolcraft is a .mil supplier and their carriers and bolts both have NSN's.

If you want to go the Toolcraft route the complete BCGs sometimes go on sale so cheaply you might as well just grab one of those and have a spare bolt, firing pin, etc

Edit: emailed RTB to confirm that these are AO Precision carriers OP

Bolts break, carries don't.

The bolt is likely the weakest part the AR15.

Bare carriers are pretty easy to find, but price wise they are a terrible value proposition compared to a full BCG.

I actually agree with that; I've seen some smashing deals on entire BCGs lately, I just wanted save a little $$ right now and complete the thing, since it's the "odd part out" in the spares bin.

I've been needing a standalone carrier too but haven't gotten around to picking one up. I do recall that Sons of Liberty sells just the carrier itself. Although IIRC the photo shows a semi-auto carrier, but while I'm guessing it's probably just an outdated stock photo or something it might be worth verifying with them that what they have in stock are indeed FA profile carriers.

Went with the SOL carrier- emailed them to ask, and it is indeed a poor stock photo that is not the correct product. Product received is a proper M16 carrier, staked, chromed, with SOL logo.
