a seller at a gun show who also posts on gunbroker has BCGs that he claims are made by FN. http://v4.beta.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=140757062
i'm not inclined to believe him because at the show he has several complete uppers that he claimed were LMTs that were completely unmarked. the only thing there that i saw that was legit was stag uppers which he was selling for almost $100 more than the "LMTs". defies conventional logic, i know. to avoid messes like this, (other than buying from an individual on GB), is there a way to identify bolts and carriers? ETA: website provided |

Well he's full of it in this auction: http://v4.beta.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=140757089 And this one: http://v4.beta.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=140757066
ETA: That carrier is a semi-auto carrier. I don't think FN makes a SA carrier. |

ETA: website provided All FN bolts that I have seen were marked with a "F" as in MPF or FMP and some may have the F underlined. "Most" of the FN carriers I have seen were maked with a simple "F" that was parkerized with the rest of the carrier. Some carriers that have come from factory new weapons did not have any marking at all..........or maby the F was just way too light to be seen after the park was done. |

this guy is probably buying blackthorne uppers, putting LMT inspection tags on them, and selling them on GB. what a farce! His ad states "THIS UPPER WAS FINISHED BY LMT" and the inspection tag looks just like the one on the upper I purchased from M & A who states their uppers are assembled by LMT. I would guess it is a M & A upper assembled by LMT. ETA: same upper from M & A runs $375 ish IIRC and his auction is starting at $580
