Kevin, guest, from OH, United States, asked on December 25, 2021

I am wanting this for a ar 15 350 legend. It’s listed as a m16. Are they the same?

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Faxon Firearms, Manufacturer from OH, United States, on January 14, 2022

Yes, this BCG will work for a .350 Legend AR-15 rifle. "M16" simply refers to the mil-spec profile of the bolt carrier and does not restrict the type of AR pattern rifle it can be used in.
