Bolt Rings

Thanks for doing that Quib. Very useful information, and a visual to go with it to boot.

Thank you Sir.

As I mentioned above, I did some more cut-away work yesterday, and I hope to get some new pics shot and posted here soon.

Between your front-end cutaway and ADCO's side-on cutaway, it's really easy to tell what's going on; great stuff!

[Quib]

I wasn't aware ADCO had cut-aways. Do you have a link?

From AR15.com

As above, the sectioning on yours combined with this give the most complete picture of the dimensions, relative size, and how the parts interact.

[Quib]

Ah, ok, thanks.

I was looking on ADCO's web site.

New photos are up.

Quib,
Are you able to gauge what the gap is at the ends of the compressed ring? Maybe .025" or so? Obviously is will vary somewhat between carriers and rings.

Outstanding info presented and great work on the cut-away.

I'll see if I can drop a feeler gauge down into the gap. Stand by.......

Ok Eric....

With the ring inserted, I get about .017" gap....

With the ring standing free, I get about .050"....
