What happens when you put another bolt in it?

It still won't run. after further inspection it appears the hole that the bolt tail protrudes through is over sized by 0.005. The Les Baer measures 0.280 all my other carriers measure 0.275. I believe this to be the issue and have satisfied my curiosity. The offending carrier now resides in my pile of scrape metal :p

Yeah. I'm still interested in this since I'm running one of those carriers with no problems.

when trying the carrier in the 4 different weapons i used the bolt that is paired with that weapons barrel extension. 3 DD bolts and my spare is a dsg 158 (the one that lives in the spare parts 10.5). the results were the same in every instance.
