The only uproar that I am a were of was the switch to MIM gas key.
Admitily I have not had the time I used to have on keeping up with this stuff.

[QUOTE=EzGoingKev;1568439]Yeah I remember that too.
Some people have stated their gas key screws were not staked but they came that way on the two I have.[/QUOTE
Well you made me check mine out. Yes chrome lined but mine is the older version it came with forged chrome lined gas key also. Can't speak on current production.
My two were staked, they just backed-out after 14K anyway.
I think your confused with the fact that LMT does no phosphate the barrel under the gas block.
Stop speculating!
I will update this post when I am able to find pics of the Gen 1 carriers... :ph34r:

I just realized that mine are Gen4s. I thought they were Gen2s. But they all have the weep hole.
How the hell did I never notice that?
How long have they been making the Gen4?
My old uppers ran the Gen2s for sure though. I bought those carriers in 2010.
Interesting photo-comparison...Thanks for posting that!
My E-Carriers appear to be Gen-5 in all regards except they don't look like they're using MIM Carrier keys...At least I can't see any little ring marks on the keys that are apparent on most MIM'd parts.
