    Annecdotal, but I have run a 16" mid-length MRP barrel with an H-Buffer with the enhanced bolt and enhanced carrier. It has eaten a wide variety of ammunition from 5.56 to .223 from a variety of makers with no problems. This is a subjective assessment, but it seems to me to shoot much more softly than even a BCM midlength 16" with an H-buffer.

    Gunz always working the angles for a quick sand box fix if needed.
    Good stuff.

    If this is true, then it would be possible to retrofit LMT enhanced bolts with stronger extractor springs. We need someone to measure the force of a standard 5-coil extractor spring plus black insert/O-ring, and figure out how long a pair of ejector springs need to be to duplicate that.

    Or bug LMT to offer stronger enhanced bolt extractor springs, heh.

    after reading alot of threads on the enhanced bolt...... i too am concerned with the extractor tension. but this is coming from some one who drops a CS sprinco xp extractor spring into every bolt that crosses his path.

    there is alot of them. been reading as much as i can. i cant remember exactly where. but some where, more than once, unimpressive extractor tension was observed by an end user.

    this bolt had a real "lets see how far we can take the design" appeal to me. but starting to wonder if its worth the trouble.

    I am not looking for a google search, I wanted links to the specific threads with actual users talking about the problems they had or are having.

    He's not looking for help on Google but you to back up your claims with specific and verifiable testing where extractor tension has been an issue not just various ramblings on the internuts.

    Two extractor springs in the lobster tail intentionally have less spring tension than one standard spring. This is supposed to lead to higher round count before spring failure since the two don't have to work as hard as one. It sounds like you and bruin have solutions in search of problems.
