flgunguy Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) So I finally got all the parts thanks to several members of this forum. I'm looking at the 9mm bolt, pictured on the right, and am doubting if the m16 hammer can hit the firing pin and push it in enough to actually fire. Does anyone else have a picture of a 9mm bolt from this angle for reference?

DINK Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 The 9mm AR uses an inertial-type firing pin, so it will travel forward enough to ignite the primer even though it looks like it won't. This is one of the reasons there is a firing pin spring used in the 9mm, but not in the gas-operated rifle calibers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I don't have access to mine right now. Here is a photo of some from Pew Pew Tactical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
