Quoted: Only a guess... Higher-end barrel makers ship barrels with a a bolt...usually CMT. The assembler wants a properly factory staked bolt carrier...LMT.

CORRECT. YOU WON'T SEE US USING STAG CARRIERS IN THEIR CURRENT CONFIGURATION.

CORRECT. NOVESKE CURRENTLY IS USING STAG BOLTS.

M.S.T.N. EVEN PROVIDES THE BOLTS (EITHER LMT OR STAG) TO COMPASS LAKE TO FIT TO OUR LILJA BARRELS. THAT WAY WE KNOW THE PARENTAGE OF EVERY COMPONENT IN OUR CUSTOM BUILDS.

THE LMT BOLT COMES WITH A HEAVIER EXTRACTOR SPRING WITH BLACK INSERT, PLUS A CRANE O-RING. BUT THESE ARE THINGS WE CHANGE OUT IN THE STAG BOLT, ANYWAY, TO THE SAME CONFIGURATION, IN THE 7.5" UPPERS.

BOTH BOLTS ARE MP-TESTED. LMT HAS A NICE "MP" LETTERED NEATLY ON THE BOLT. STAG MARKS EACH BOLT "MP" WITH AN ENGRAVING PEN.

LMT FUNCTION CHECKS ALL BOLTS BEFORE SHIPPING. BUT WE DO THAT, ANYWAY, WITH THE CUSTOM UPPERS.

LMT CHARGES CONSIDERABLY MORE FOR THEIR BOLTS THAN DOES STAG, TOO.

WE'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH EITHER BRAND BOLT, BTW, OTHER THAN ONE THAT SHOWED UP FROM THE MANUFACTURER WITHOUT GAS RINGS. ANYBODY CAN AND EVERYBODY DOES EVENTUALLY MAKE A MISTAKE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE PROBLEM WAS EXPEDITIOUSLY CORRECTED. BOTH COMPANIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
