Best Answer

The M16 comes in two main parts, the upper and lower receiver.

The upper receiver consists of the receiver, carry handle (on older models), bolt group, charging handle, barrel, hand guards, front sight, gas tube, and many other small parts.

The lower is composed of the stock (inside it is the buffer spring), pistol grip, fire selector, magazine well.

Go to bushmasters website or YouTube to see a cutaway M16 in operation for an understanding of how it works.
