On the other hand, if you're doing some kind of halo build where it's as much about pride of ownership and crazy good machining and finish, get one of Wes Grant's MSTN Young National Match carriers. It's well over $300, though. They're finish passed, chromed and IonBonded. The surface is like black glass and holds lube well. The LMT bolt is IonBonded down to the gas rings. He also has a milspec profile Young that's a bit cheaper but finished the same. I went with the NM for my precision build for the weight and the regular one for my SBR.
Is it overkill? Definitely. But when the bolt tail cleans up like a Teflon frying pan and the BCG slides back in like it's on bearings, it's hard not to smile.
