Is this a Malaysian carrier? If so, are these exact parts actually made in Malaysia?
It does install in a semi stock. ( Thanks Josh)

Is the cocking piece semi or auto?
I don’t remember which one between the semi or auto carrier has larger ID guide rods holes… I think it’s the semi so that an auto carrier won’t fit a semi stock… |

The auto carrier has larger ID in the carrier for the guide rods. And the FA stock guide rods are shorter to accommodate the length of the anti bounce weights in the thrust tubes of the carrier.

What parts of those Malay parts-kits can be used in a semi M1 A3? I'd like a spare bolt and other parts. Maybe a battle-worn stock would be cool also.

You can’t use the stock, as it’s FA. The retaining latch is wider on the FA stock. Modifying the FA latch to fit a SA receiver makes a machinegun. The bolt groups are well worn on all four kits I’ve had in hand. To the point that I’d use a new bolt to be safe. The carrier won’t function in a SA stock without removing the anti bounce weights or cutting them shorter. @jbntx did a fantastic write up on this a few years ago here on arfcom. The best use for the ex-Malay kits by someone who is not a SOT is the Nylaug, which apparently addresses blocking fullauto in some way other than the traditional AUG. |

Thank you for the excellent explanation.
edit: I think I will look for spare parts elsewhere since they will not fit or be very worn. |

The opening diameter where the rods enter the carrier are slightly larger. I was able to fit it into a semi stock with a semi receiver. Am I good ? I guess I should disassemble. Also, if Malaysian , where was it made ? Back home in (A) ? |

I guess I should disassemble. But like he said, you can either remove the 2 weights inside the front of the carrier assembly, or shorten them, and then it'll work fine. There's probably some rust in there too you'll want to clean out. (Mine was rusty.) The weights are anti-bounce weights and they're not needed unless you're firing full auto (which is one reason they're not included in semi-auto AUGs). |

I have ex-Malay kits that are Steyr made and that are SMA (Malaysian) made. The only obvious part to delineate the two is the stock. No clue re: carriers. |
