I spoke to Smith's long weapons dept today, it looks like they are doing most of them inhouse now. Im not sure if they are assembling CMT parts or making their own?

I called their longgun dept today and was told they are using LMT BCG's
How much of a difference should there be between these now? if any difference can be noticed?
The LMT lower is properly staked and close in price, im sure everyone will agree the LMT is a better product.
BTW my M&PT made it back from Smith. They replaced the upper and the BCG after AI told them they needed to have it staked correctly, I didnt think they would care but were very good about everything. The person in charge of long guns is Wayne Goodman if anyone needs a contact.
I believe the are now LMT carriers. On the new ones the carrier key staking is more along the lines of Colt/LMT instead of the CMT top staking. I'll take a pic tomorrow of the new carrier from one of our older M&P15s and from a newer 15T that I noticed was different yesterday.
This new LMT BCG has a super tight fit of the bolt inside the carrier, do these go through rings fast?
Here's a pic of a CMT carrier from an older S&W M&P15.

And here's one from a new S&W M&P15T. Clearly a LMT carrier.

Is this where I should be jealous ?
Tang call them and tell them you want a proprly staked one, im sure they will take care of you.
