Abstract
An improved bolt carrier for a firearm is provided that improves the overall reliability and performance of the firearm bolt assembly. The bolt carrier includes a bolt with a body having a number of lugs extending therefrom. The lugs are integrally connected to the body and define a fillet extending between a sidewall of the lug and the outer surface of the body of the bolt. The bolt also includes an extractor pivotably engaged in a recess formed in the bolt. The extractor has a pair of flanges configured to engage a pair of springs disposed on either side of a firing pin bore extending through the bolt.
