The M16 assault rifle's bolt and bolt carrier are made of steel.
A bolt.
The M16 assault rifle has a 7075 aluminium alloy receiver, steel barrel, bolt, and bolt carrier, and glass-reinforced polymer handguard, pistol grip, and buttstock.
uh well there completly different guns...the m16 is a assualt rifle and the l96 is a bolt action rifle. m16 is probly the better choice if your trying to survive on a battlefield.
the bolt will remain open
2 1/2 ounces
Yes. However, a used bolt face should not be used with any barrel other than the one it was originally mated with.
It's a measure of the strength of the bolt. The strength is measured using what's called a grade. In this case, you have a grade 8 bolt. The higher the number, the stronger the bolt.
The bolt carrier, the firing pin, the carrier pin, the extractor, the cam pin, the bolt, the extractor retaining pin.... that's the assembly, but the charging handle is also defined as part of the bolt carrier group.
bolt strength markings. Numbers represent metric threads and slashes represent standard threads (the greater the number/slashes, the greater the strength of the bolt.
Neither. Bolt tensile strength is in pounds per square inch. You are confusing torque with bolt strength. Typically a bolt will be torqued to stretch the bolt and preload it to about 50% of its strength. The relation between torque T and preload P is T = 0.15DP where D is bolt diameter(inch), T is inch pounds and P is pounds. Then stress is P/A where A is bolt area and this stress is 1/2 of strength. Note that torque in foot pounds is simply in lb/12, or 12 inch pounds = 1 ft lb
If you mean a bolt with a head size of 24mm (M16) then the recommended torque setting will be 210Nm but if you mean a head size of 36mm (M24) then the recommended setting will be 710Nm.
