Hey guys,

Short and sweet.

Ive got a 13.7 inch, midlength gas build that I just put together. Ive had an LMT enhanced carrier sitting around that I originally ordered for a BRT barrel that never materialized. I decided to slap that in there and head to the range.

The gun functioned 100% but brass ejection was erratic. It would eject a round or two to 4 o'clock then randomly throw one or two casings to 1 o'clock. Again, the gun functioned well but the erratic nature of the brass ejection caused me some concern.

I swapped in a normal, full auto M16 carrier and the brass ejection pattern changed to a 100% consistent 4 o'clock ejection.

Thoughts on this guys? I "feel" like the gun shot softer with the LMT carrier but that could be all in my head. Obviously I'm chasing feel AND function with this build so id like the softest shooting, most reliable carbine possible.
