    Help with bolt assembly purchase

    I'm in the market for a new bolt assembly, I'm torn between a BCM or a LMT. which one would you guys get?

    Thanks

    Personally I'd get the BCM (we carry both). But the LMT is excellent too.

    when I was deciding between those 2 I picked the BCM. when I compared the advertised specs the BCM looked to be the better made one.

    this is what it looks like now

    I took it to a local Ionbond and had it chrome nitrided. my local one does not do the diamond black, but they do take walk in 's

    What did it cost to have a few small parts like that done?

    XM15,
    Whose ejector removal tool is that? I have one from Brownells, but that one looks very stable. Does it have a hole to knock the pin into?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    I've heard some very good things about IonBond. I know a few people who've used it on pistols and say it's nicer than hard chrome.

    That's what I was thinking.
    It's also thin enough that you should not have to re-fit parts afterwards...

    Looks "shop made" to me.
    I had to make my own for AR-10 bolts as there were none commonly available.
    I basically just cloned the AR-15 version and drilled the hole where the ejector pin would end up.

    Shihan,
    That is the one I have too. At the Colt re-cert. Armorer course I was at recently they had ejector removal tools in the green tool kits this time. they were more of a fixture type. The Brownells one is OK but the fixture one would be better.

    The one Robb posted is the one that they had.....
    Thanks.
    Jack
