firing pin differences question?

[Gregodis]

I was wondering the firing pin differences between a civilian M16/AR15 and a C-7? I have looked around the internet and didn’t really come up with any thing. If you guys could help me out, or direct me to a site the might, that would be great. Thanks a bunch.

I don't see any difference then again I'm not a gun guru.

I'm still looking and so far all i can find, is that on the military side is that the chamber has a larger open throat area.

AR15 and M16 firing pin are differ on the flange size. the M16 firing pin flange are slightly larger than the semi cousin.

How does the Canadain C-7 differ from those two though?

C7 is a licensed build Colt with some differences.....the firing pin is exact like the M16 version.

Since i have both, I will take a pic for you tonight.

SMGLee is a much more reliable source of information that AR15.com.
