    Name a time an A100 bolt failed outside of lab testing?

    You should probably do a little research first.

    That being said, I'll just stick with BCM BCG's for my daily drivers. I wouldn't mind having back up BCG's made by other manufactures though. I do have a BCG from Joe Bobs that uses a bolt made of 9310 but that is currently just a back up.

    Without doing the research, I guess you're saying LMT bolts are prone to failing? Okay then. Now I know what bolt I won't be buying in the future.

    LMT makes excellent bolts.

    He isn't saying anything of the sort.
    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    What a waste of thread space...

    No. What I am saying is that LMT bolts and carriers are good to go. I like BCM too, but they aren't the only game in town. If you read about the properties of Carpenter 158 and Aermet you will see that they are both very good alloys.

    Aermet is a very good metal. It is part of the price increase I believe

    Oh, I understand there are other BCG's of equal or maybe even better quality than BCM. It's just what I own and what I know. I just look at it in the fact that I haven't had one fail me yet so why change.

    I haven't really done any research on Aermet but I have done some on 9310 and from what I've found, it looks like 9310 could be stronger than C-158 as long as it was heat treated properly.

    Sorry to switch gears.


    Has LMT been cranking out enhanced bolt carriers?? I'm using Grant's small gas port set up with the enhanced group, but with the standard bolt.

    No big hurry & just wondering if they are running at capacity and/or behind & trying to keep up like everyone else in the industry right now. Time to get an extra pretty soon & thought someone here may have the skinny.
