Anyone have a pic of a new LMT BCG?

I hear that they are now "properly" staked and marked MPI. I need a spare and I'd like to see a picture of their markings and staking before I order.

thanks.

On the Colt bolt that LMT repaired for me under warranty (MRP gas tube connected with carrier key) I would characterize one of the stakes as proper, one as marginal and two as poor.

No matter what you get, you might have to put the MOACKS to it.

As a side note, the new LMT bolts I have seen are marked MPJ, and its a deep marking applied before the finish, unlike the handwritten MPI on a Colt bolt.

I wish I had a pic, but I do not at this time.

My M16 bolt carrier group and MP tested bolt from Grant has an "MPx" or "Mx" etched deep into the bolt before it was park'd (or whatever) and it also has the scratched in "MP" in silver...

That is a CMT bolt that I rebuild.

Here is a pic of the "new" LMT bolt with the "MP" stamped into it.

Any photo of the staking?

Grant- Why are the bolts etched (scribbled) with "MP" when they are already rollmarked(?) as such?

Yes, I forgot that the enhanced reliability carrier/bolt that my friend ordered for me was CMT .

No, but they do a good job (looks like the ones I do on CMT carriers).

CMT bolts are not MP stamped, but some do say CM on them. I am guessing that stands for Continental Machine?
