I'd say that his design is different enough that a judge would not make a summary judgement. For example, in ar15.com's design, the extractor is reversed color of the bolt head, for example, if the bolt head is black, then the extractor is white and if the bolt head is white, then the extractor is black.
Furthermore, from the USPTO website, the mark says "Description of Mark Color is not claimed as a feature of the mark. The mark consists of a direct view of an AR-style rifle bolt face with a cog-like appearance."
So, add some color (or add a circle around the cogs) and you should be ok
Some people/companies are litigious and will try to intimidate a third party into stopping even if they do not have a legal leg to stand on.
