Got back from a day of shooting my MWS. Put 80 rounds of 7.62 and 60 rounds of .308. When I got home to clean it and perform a field strip I found this. I know for a fact that this happened today because I check everything after I shoot. Call me crazy.
I'm not even mad at all. The gun did not have any problems what so ever all day. No FTE...... not one. I sent LMT an e-mail from their site and waiting for a reply. Most likely will call them on Monday. The part isn't listed on their site so I have to call them. I'm not here to bash LMT. Just showing you guys what happen to my poor MWS today. She will be up and running very soon I hope.

How many total rounds through the gun before you noticed the broken extractor retaining pin? I'm talking total rounds throughout the life of the rifle, not just what you shot today.Originally Posted by Fenix1442

1,300 total. 400 was suppressed. I have checked all my brass and the only thing I notice is the front of the brass where the bullet sits is flat on one side. Nothing crazy with primers or extraction marks on the brass.
The gun ran like a champ and most likely would for a few hundred rounds is my guess. Nothing sounded or felt weird while shooting today. I shot 40 rounds suppressed and it was 7.62.

Called LMT. I ended up buying two pins and two bolts as spares for the barrel. LMT rep has never seen or heard of the pin breaking like mine did. He needed better pictures to see how it broke instead of my craptacular ones I posted here.
Reason why I bought my replacement pin was due to it being cheap. It was only 7 bucks and some change for a new one. Also didn't want to wait too long for LMT to decide if they were going to cover it. I really like my MWS and giving LMT my money is well worth spent. I couldn't have a firearm in my house that doesn't work... unsat in my book.
By the way.... LMT was very courteous and had great customer service so far.

How much were the MWS bolts?

The barrel retaining bolts are listed on LMT's store website. They are about 10 bucks and some change with taxes. I also got a military discount so it was a little cheaper. Everyone that has an MWS should have at least 5 of them since things can break over time or by accident. Take care.

My mistake, I thought you were referring to actual bolts (as in part of the BCG).

Appears LMT only sales the entire BCG Assembly for 7.62 (MSRP is $389.45). Their store does not show a listing for just the bolt for 7.62.
