    I've got a Gen 1 and a gen 4. My gen 4 looks the same as Biggy's above.

    Well, gents, I stand corrected.
    I pulled the bolt out and took a look, and it turns out the bolt channel on this bolt IS chrome lined after all. I could have sworn on a stack of bibles that it was not. The gas key on this carrier is NOT chrome-lined and I think that that and the non-chromed tail ( as contrasted with a BCM carrier) is what I had in my mind before a wire got crossed somewhere. Too, the chrome lining on this one is recessed by the rounded rim of the carrier face, and not obvious. It is in the gas key on some that there is the black looking coating rather than chrome.
    So, to conclude, yes, the insides of all the carriers are CL.

    So, the consensus is 100% that the newer Gen4/5 carriers will allow an Enhanced bolt to run in an SBR?

    There was only that one account that I know of.

    (My beater gun is at 4k, and I flip bolts every 5k. So I'm interested. Seems like I JUST rebarelled it, too.)

    The gun.

    It started out as a 16.1'' SR-15 E3.

    Cut it down to 11.1'' .071'' gas port, and cut the rail down too. (Did the rail myself actually.) I've had it for around 5 years. Ran it with an NT4.

    Put 20k on it. Flipped the barrel (even though it was still grouping 3'' or so.) and because of that I had to change to Colt bolts too.

    Right now it's running a regular 11.5'' Colt 6933 barrel because I managed to score one off of gunbroker on the cheap ($120. No shit.) and kept running it with the cut down URX, and NT4 (which still sounds great, by the way) and I've put about 4k on it since.

    I'm gonna start flipping out bolts every 5k using USGI type bolts. (Suppressed, SBR, which is why.)

    Which is why I'm interested in this bolt.

    I would flip the bolt at 7K personally. Though according to LMT the weep hole was added to allow for proper use in a SBR, given their testing and numerous revisions I would say its a safe bet it will work.

    5K is a bit early IMO for a standard bolt. There was a guy on TOS(hasnt posted in a while and pictures are gone) but they were running 7.5" suppressed guns and he mentioned they changed bolts and barrels every 4K.

    Alright. I'll see if I can find one for sale. Hopefully I can burn 1k rounds by June, and see if it functions.

    It seems like all this craze is slowing down so hopefully we will see things in stock again soon.

    I moved the Carrier comparison to it's own thread in the technical section as not to further dilute this thread which is about the bolt. I'm tempted to make a bolt graphic much the same way as my carrier graphic since LMT has progressed through a few versions of the bolt...
