You have me curious and hopeful... Can we now buy separate E3 bolts and barrel extensions?

E3 bolts can be found.
I have 3 KAC rifles. A 11'' that I had cut. A 14.5'' that I had cut. And a 16.1'' that I haven't touched yet.
So I already have the barrel extensions.
Sorry. :(
I've read this thread a couple of times, and plan to go the SBR/Suppressor route so this is a gold mine of info here. So thanks to Grant and others!
I am just having a hard time understanding the concept of the LMT Enhanced Carrier and how/why it works better than the standard Carrier?
So this part didn't help?
....the Enhanced Carrier has slightly angled cam area which helps with bleeding off excess gas (slowing everything down). This allows for more positive extraction which in turn allows the ejector to push out the spent casing from the weapon.
If you guys just went with a Vltor A5 receiver extension, and their 6 or 7 ounce buffer, you wouldn't need to get into proprietary bolts, barrel extensions, and other parts, and it would better solve the over-gassing and bolt speed issue.
I am not sure who is running anything "proprietary." I run a custom gas port, but that is really it.
Remember that suppressor's cause TWO problems. The first is recoil. The second is excessive carbon. It is nearly a 2 to 1 ratio IMHO. One-hundred rounds looks like you just shot two-hundred rounds.
My setup runs cleaner than NONE suppressed weapons.

Yes this does help, and thank you for the reply. Maybe I just didn't explain my confusion...I understand the concept of the LMT Enhanced Carrier, but was wondering why you would need that WITH a tuned gas port like what Grant was using? Or would the system just be overgassed regardless (with or without the smaller gp)?
