    Lmt carrier = noticeable difference?

    I understand the engineering behind it, but when will the upgrade be noticeable as opposed to just improved efficiency which should lead to longevity?

    Just on a suppressed Sbr?

    What about a precision 16”?

    Its not about efficiency, the LMT enhanced carrier is about solving the issues of 14.5" and 16" carbine gas systems. If you arent running those gas systems then you probably dont need to be using one.

    It actually works very well with suppressed SBR's.

    Difference between a Colt BCG and LMT EBCG. Requires one less on the gas setting of an SLR AGB on a Noveske 14.5 middy with A5H3. Reliable lock back. Functions from UMC 55 gr to M855.

    So, what I'm reading here is that a mid-length would not need such a enhanced BCG? I just ordered a Colt BCG for an eventual middy 16" carbine I hope to build.

    I think you might be mixing up quality and enhanced. No doubt many will agree that the Colt is a quality BCG, the LMT carrier has several changes/improvements that your Colt BCG won't have:

    here is an article with pretty good pictures: http://smallarmssolutions.com/home/l...d-bolt-carrier

    I'd like to get one but the cost compared to my normal toolcrafts on sale keeps me on the bench.

    OK, yes there are improvements that any rifle/carbine could benefit from. Specifically carbine length gas systems but any length gas system too. But I'm not SOCOM and I don't, as much as I would like to have, their budget or shooting schedule. So, I'll just stay over here and be happy with my Colt BCG... I will be using a LMT receiver so there!

    I can't imagine that there would be any benefit to using an LMT Enhanced carrier in a 20" barrel with a rifle length gas system.

    Bolt yes, carrier no.

    Definitely, I've been following other users experiences in the other LMT threads with suppressed SBRs. My previous post was more for the not so savvy general audience since it seems it does require some tinkering based on the barrel length, gas port and buffer weight combo.

    I need to try one of Pappabear's LMT carriers in my suppressed SBR. It's ported down, but still snappy as hell. I'd love to see if the carrier makes a difference.
