If the standard LMT bolt is the infantryman of the gun industry, then the enhanced bolt is the delta operator. This bolt was designed to function effectively in full-auto, suppressed, and short barrel weapon systems, and it is made of materials far more durable than your standard fare. Quite simply, it’s the best possible upgrade for your rifle to increase reliability and functionality.
If you want the best of the best, get the enhanced LMT bolt. The bad news is that there is usually a line several months of waiting to get it. And, is it priced fairly? Hmm. Well, it is expensive and getting harder for us to source, so yes.
Can you put the LMT bolt in just any carrier? Hmm. Well, not any carrier, as there is clearly junk out there. But, installing the LMT enhanced bolt in a military grade carrier will work just fine. LMT, FN, Colt, Microbest, Toolcraft, Daniel Defense, BCM carriers will all work fine. You will want a phosphated milspec carrier with chromed lining. Not nitrided carriers. Give it a liberal dose of synthetic oil, all around the carrier and inside, and you will be good to go. But, test fire it first. Run 20 rounds down the chamber and make sure you have the right buffer weight. You will be good to go
