All of their E-carriers are chrome lined, its the swap over to a non-chrome lined MIM gas key that confused everyone. The MIM key is hardened and does not benefit from the chrome lining.

Thanks for the awesome comparison pic.
Not all. I have one purchased in 2009 that is not chrome lined. About the same time people were debating the MIM key issue in a thread, it was also mentioned in a statement LMT put out that there was a proprietary coating on the inside of some of their, then, newer BCGs. To be clear, I mean the carrier itself is not chrome lined on this one, not just the gas key. I do not know what the coating is, but it looks black and not like plain parkerizing inside the carrier.
Interesting... can you post a pic?
I would like to see what version did not come with any chrome applied.

Thanks!
Can you post pics of the inside of the carrier? The "mouth" when you remove the bolt...
The tail of the carrier is just parkerizing, I think. But the inside looks the same, just black. ( A darker color than parkarizing) I'll try to get another pick tomorrow of the inside of the bolt channel (where the proprietary lining is) after work.
Here are some pics of a new enhanced carrier I got from LMT around 9-3-12. The bolt is a new BCM from G&R Tactical.
