Was able to trade my Glock for a Bushmaster XM-15 E2S.
We had problems with the Extractor spring being broken either with the first round shot or was broken when the rifle was received. I have a different bolt in the receiver until a new spring is received hopefully in the next few days.
Looking at the Bushmaster bolt carrier it is swedged? In other words you can see approx 1/2 inch of the firing pin when the bolt and firing pin is installed in the carrier.
Is this for weight?
A non-full auto bolt carrier?
Is there any advantage to this swedged type of carrier.
Other (three) bolt carries are not of this design; can only see the end, maybe 1/8 of firing pin when installed.
I remember seeing something about the "Swedged" bolt carriers but could not locate info nor am I sure Swedged is even the proper terminology.
With the swedged carrier does the firing pin get more abuse/carbon or is it pretty much the same as the other carriers?
Bushmaster has a one year 10 day guarantee. ?? Kinda thought that sucks even my lowly Del-Ton has a lifetime guarantee!? Dunno about the CMMGs gonna call.
Just trying to figure out the differences. Thanks
