AR-15 Bolt Face Hat

Eight locking lugs. One firing pin. The bolt face every AR-15 owner knows by heart. From Eugene Stoner's original AR-10 in 1955 through the M16 adopted in 1964 and the millions of M4s, M16A4s, AR-15s, and patrol carbines built since, the rotating-bolt design at the heart of the rifle has stayed essentially unchanged for seven decades. Strip the upper, pull the bolt carrier group, separate the bolt — and there it is: eight evenly spaced locking lugs around a central firing pin hole, the extractor at one o'clock, the ejector plunger off to the side, and the polished steel face that's chambered every 5.56×45mm NATO round you've ever fired through the rifle. This hat puts that geometry on your head — for the AR owners who know what a worn locking lug looks like, and for the gunsmiths and armorers who can spot a tired bolt at fifty paces. Built for AR-15 and M4 owners, civilian sport shooters, M16-era veterans, GWOT veterans, gunsmiths, range instructors, second amendment supporters, and anyone who's ever held a stripped bolt up to a shop light and inspected the lugs for wear.
