What is happening... I have spent an hour looking at about 20 different websites. Not a single one has a LMT buffer tube or buffer tube kit in stock.

Yes that was the general consensus. No idea what kind of timeline that pushes civil availability back. I was just looking for enhanced bolt extractor springs (as spares, no problems wit hthe ones I'm running). They are on LMT's website, but shipping is $15.00 on two TINY springs So, I found a whole bolt and carrier for a good deal instead for way more than the $15 shipping charge on springs funny how I work things like this out in my head.

I have a question for anyone that has experience with both the KAC sandcutter carrier, and the LMT enhanced carrier.
For an 11.5" MRP, going on a factory defender 2000 lower with a KAC H2 buffer, would a KAC sandcutter bcg with LMT Enhanced Bolt be a good substitute for a full LMT Enhanced BCG? This is a build that I have been slowly acquiring parts for over years, I am in no rush to buy anything. So with that said I don't mind waiting longer for the LMT BCG parts to come back in stock. The end state of this project that I have in mind will be a mostly suppressed set up (75% suppressed shooting) with a KAC Full size QDC. So with all that said, I am not sure how gassed the 11.5" MRP barrels are. Also, I have heard/read lots of mixed things about the LMT enhanced BCG's in regards to function with a suppressor. I am not interested in any of the adjustable carriers offered. Thanks |

^ Thank you.
Please let me know how the enhanced bcg compares. |

I have not yet shot the LMT enhanced but it makes more sense from a technical standpoint. Increased lockup time, more gas vented. I cant see how it wont be better for a short barrel suppressed. When I shoot it, I'll update. Also have a gas buster coming. Gas wasnt too awful, seemed appropriate, but running fast I'd have black carbon dots on my face. View Quote I need to try another enhanced carrier as I'm thinking I received a faulty one. My carrier speed increased therefore causing malfunctions as many here probably recall. (Suppressed 11.5") |

Things may have changed but lmt used to only reccomend three E-BCG with 14.5" or longer barrels.

Originally Posted By AZ2A: I need to try another enhanced carrier as I'm thinking I received a faulty one. My carrier speed increased therefore causing malfunctions as many here probably recall. (Suppressed 11.5") View Quote I'm not sold on the LMT Enhanced carrier for slowing down carrier speed to significantly change the rate of fire. It was designed more to increase dwell time and have a less violent bolt unlock. This is directly from LMT: Behold the laundry list of enhancements our design brings to the table: Carrier: Altered cam path for longer dwell time and more robust extraction Modified gas hole improves gas flow across the bolt’s tail Additional gas ports on right side and modified orientation to improve gas flowing through the ejection port, and not into your face Relief grooves added to the top and bottom to channel debris and maintain fluid movement They do not mention anything about reducing rate of fire. I know many do not like adjustable carriers, but the Gemtech/Boot Leg IMHO will bleed off excess gas better then the LMT. The Surefire version would also be a good choice if you don't want to mess with settings. The LMT bolt however.... awesome design. |

View Quote As someone who has both, this is very true. If you're looking for something on a dedicated suppressed rifle this can't be beat vs. the EBCG. The only thing lacking on an adjustable carrier is that it doesn't provide extra dwell time like the E. The E bolt can be used with an adjustable carrier, so you may be able to get an ultra reliable bolt with a great carrier. |

I tried the Bootleg and Gemtech adjustable carriers but when it was all setup to run suppressed (which it did very well) it wouldn't run reliably without a can
I know I know, all it takes is a quick adjustment on the carrier but I'm very old school. I want the rifle to work in all situations and configurations with no adjustments. With that being said, I've been very happy with the standard M16 carrier + H3 + Geissele recoil spring. No issues with and without the can for a few thousand rounds Oh and LMTs enhanced bolts are exceptional! I have them in all of my rifles, even the non LMTs |

I've searched the internet in general and this site in particular without finding ANY mention of what I saw in the video below from Shot Show 2020.
LMT DEFENSE - AUSTRIAARMS @ SHOTSHOW 2020 At the 2 minute and 37 second mark (2:37), the rifle on the bottom is a LMT MWS in .308... with a GAS PISTON. |

I would probably buy one just because I'm a LMT whore... but I wouldn't look forward to the weight. My MWS rifles are already pigs. |

I wondered if the forgings were different and that would be an easy way to designate which ones receive which kind of milling. |

What is your go to barrel length for your no nonsense/trust with your life- gun? Is the 11.5” barrel the way to go? Thanks |

I've been very happy with mine with thousands of rounds |

Thinking about having a 14.5 chopped down to 12.5, good to go ? Any issues if used with an enhanced BCG ?

I've tried 3 different A5 buffer weights, but same behavior with each. Granted, I'm pushing the envelope a bit here with the un-opened gas port on a shortened barrel, enhanced carrier, and short can. (This is maybe a 2-5 per 100 round occurrence) Been planning on testing with a standard carrier to see if that makes a difference. Also, the now available factory 11.5" barrels are probably more heavily gassed than mine...So I might pick one of those up at some point. View Quote Trigger doesn't reset?? But round is fully fed? Ever a failure to feed? Fresh recoil spring? Where is ejection unsuppressed vs suppressed.? Trigger pack? Have you tried a regular 10.5" LMT barrel? 14.5" good with & without suppressor? Definitely give the regular carrier a whirl. |
