I recently purchased a new bolt and bolt carrier from another person on the net which was represented as an LMT BCG. When I received it, I was curious as to how I could verify its actual manufacturer. Seems to me that there must be a way otherwise we would hear about significant fraud when it comes to the sale of cheap bolts trumped up and sold for more than should be charged..

That said, I don't think there is any foul play here as the bolt is stamped MP and AJ, extractor has the black insert, spring, and crane o-ring, the inside is chrome lined, and the gas key is staked properly.

I'm sure there is a way but was curious how I can go about identifying that the goods are indeed authentic.
