Hi Folks,
I am in the market for a new couple of bolts, and really like the look and stats of the LMT Enhanced Bolt. I have heard that when this bolt is paired with LMT's enhanced carrier, it is especially suited for heavily-gassed shorter rifles, and can cause reliability problems in rifles with the 20" barrel and rifle-length gas system or the midlength gas system when run on a 16- or 14.5-inch barrel.
I hope someone can confirm that the LMT enhanced bolt is fully compatible with a standard M16 bolt carrier, and that it will not cause any reliability issues in a rifle that is not overgassed (mine are a 20" with rifle gas and rifle receiver extension, and 16" midlength also with rifle receiver extension).
Thanks!
