Stern Defense
Building a 9mm AR platform rifle? The Stern Defense 004Sdbu9D1M is a complete 9mm bolt carrier for AR15/M16 builds that works with both Colt SMG and Glock magazines, giving you flexibility in ammo selection and feeding reliability. Machined from 8620 AISI steel and finished in phosphate, this bolt arrives fully assembled with all internals installed—firing pin, spring, retaining pin, extractor, and extractor spring—so you're ready to drop it into your upper right away.
If you're running a short-reset trigger system, Stern Defense engineered this bolt with single-stage triggers in mind. It's also compatible with the JP silent capture spring for shooters who prefer that setup. The bolt integrates with folding stock adapters and pairs well with Echo triggers, making it a versatile choice for compact or adjustable-platform builds.
Stern Defense manufactures this bolt domestically, and the phosphate finish provides a durable, matte black appearance with solid corrosion resistance. Whether you're assembling a 9mm plinker, a compact defensive rifle, or an integrally-suppressed build, this bolt handles the job without requiring any additional parts or assembly on your end.
