    Have you looked at the enhanced bolt? The spring design is nothing like a standard extractor spring. There are two holes left and right rear (the "lobster" tail) and the springs for all intents and purposes look like the same spring for the selector and ejector.

    We took an ejector spring and it was the exact same diameter and overall appearance as their extractor springs, but the difference being the size (length).

    The next test will be to use the cut down ones and see if they work.

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

    I still want to know why he needs stronger springs.

    Bumping this with some new info. The new LMT Enhanced Carrier now has an extra 4th weep hole allowing the carrier to be used in rifles shorter than 14.5".

    Are you referring to the small hole on the curved face, behind the three lined-up vent holes?

    Any word on when these new carriers will be available? I'd love to get my hands on one for a suppressed LE6920 I'm putting together.

    I wonder if I'll still need an extra strength action spring/H3 buffer...

    Theyre shipping now but finding one in stock is the tough part.

    I would say in a 14.5"-16" a H2 would be fine for these when suppressed.

    Yeah, I can't find one in stock for the life of me, and I've been scrounging the intertubes daily for almost a month. Maybe it was good, though, so I didn't order the old model.

    Crossin' my fingers from here on out.

    If you see one pop up I would grab it, by far the best BCG for the standard AR-15 short of something like the KAC E3 which requires a special barrel extension. Here is the email explaining what the hole does I got from LMT.

    That is a weep hole designed to vent excess gas/pressure at a certain point during the cycle process. It was added to help reliability of the enhanced BCG with weapon systems shorter than 14.5”

    Is the LMT Store the only place that offers the Carrier by itself?

    Id like to avoid buying the whole BCG.
