The stock and forearm were traditional wood, but can be other materials. With the AR15 and M16 rifle, they are made from metals and plastics.
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.

Eugene Stoner is given credit for creating the automatic rifle system that evolved into the M16. As with any prototype, there were several problems that needed to be overcome to produce a dependable rifle, the AR15/M16 is no different. There have been hundreds of modifications & improvements made to the weapon by hundreds of people, even to this day people are personalizing & modifying the weapon system.
There are a large number of differences based on the models of both guns, however the most notable is that the AR15 is a semi-automatic and the M16 is capable of semi-automatic or full automatic.
