    Help me ID this Bolt & carrier "MP AF" - More pics on pg 2

    I need some Help Identifying this carrier & bolt

    It came out of a used stag model 2 I picked up in a local trade, everything else is stag arms. the lower, barrel, keyhole forged upper, staked castle nut/mil spec stock.

    Carrier is Unmarked But it does have a small circle between the 2 fasteners on the gas key

    Bolt is Marked "MP on one side & "AF" on the other

    after further inspection mine does have the cracks on the stacking,as you can see in the pic & looks like the gas key is MIM

    Based on some research I have been doing today, can anyone confirm this is a LMT Carrier & Bolt

    You have a Fulton Armory Bolt on a semi-auto carrier.
    We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.

    You sure? I just pulled out my LMT BCG and it has a similar set up on its markings except instead of AF mine is BX. From his picture it does look like he has the radius behind the lugs that is found on LMT bolts and they do turn out semi auto carriers.

    I forgot to look at my gas key but my wife already walked into our bedroom to find a broken open AR on the bed and me staring at an oily bolt carrier group. Folks, that's a once a night proposition so I'm afraid your out of luck.

    AF sounds like an LMT possibility. They mark their stuff with 2 letter codes like AJ, AY, etc..

    Help me ID this Bolt & carrier "MP AF" (pics Up)

    My LMT is very similar except it's a M16 profile carrier. Especially the rounded area at the base of the lugs.

    Looks like they use a smaller MP on the bolt with another capital 2 letter code as the above poster said. another guy on a different forum had the same markings as my bolt in his lmt mrp cqb.

    there are tons of threads after searching "LMT MIM gas key". Many carriers that look identical to mine and many A* letter codes...broken staking....circle stamping on the gas key...etc

    Mines actually only got one letter on the bolt. Apparently that's normal as well from what I've read.

    yep I have also read LMT started later on using the 2 letter codes instead of 1

    I can take better pics of the bolt & carrier tomorrow to update

    I'm not sure how old my BCG is to be honest, but my carrier key doesn't have that circle on it. Perhaps it's from before they started using MIM?

    MORE PICS

    Here are some more pics I took of the BCG tonight.

    The lugs look shiny like the photos, Looks like the bolts had some rounds put through it!!

    Right underneath the lugs the bolt is completely smooth unlike other bolts Ive seen.

    The carrier looks chrome lined.
