This is corrrect. Carbine buffers in the complete LMT’s that I have gotten.

070801 Chart posted which I believe addresses all comments to date.
Were these 14.5" or 16" guns?
I would think that LMT would ship standard carbine buffers in their 10.5" barreled guns due to the port size they use because the H buffer can cause problems in a 10.5" LMT barreled upper if it’s not running a pig or a can.
As a Civy, you cannot buy a complete 14.5". Only PD can do that. Those MAY come with H buffers, but don’t know.

So do I take that to mean that the complete LMT guns you have/had were only 16" guns?
Yes.

Thanks for the clarification.
It’s kind of a shame that they are shipping standard buffers in a 16" gun, the barrel length that most benefits from a heavy buffer.
At least it’s an easy part to change, but the point is that you should not HAVE to change something on a new gun…
I think they ship with CAR buffers because they run their gas ports on the small side.
Not the 14.5" and 16" barrels.
Those run at normal size, which CAN benefit from heavier buffers.
Don’t the current production 6920s use mil-spec (small) receiver pins? I thought Colt had changed from large pin to small pin a couple of years back.
This chart refers to fire control group pins.
Got it - thanks.
Just a suggestion- but why not refer to that caption as “FCG Pin Size” rather then “MilsSpec Lower Rec. Pins”.
It would reduce my e mail inbox by about 2%…:rolleyes:
It’s changed on the excel file, but I haven’t taken the time to re-generate the .jpg for posting here.
I was hoping that someone would come along and tell me more ways I was wrong before I re-do it. 
I feel your pain Rob!
The reality is nothing will ever be perfect, and you will see ways to improve it for a long time.
However, you took the first step and made a chart showing the apparent comparisons between makers guns.
Bravo Zulu!
Still no Noveske N4 Light.
Do you consider this chart “ready for prime time” yet? I will be using it from now on as a quick and tidy answer when the inevitible questions occur on the few forums I post on.
The technical information appears to be correct so far.
I was kind of hoping that Randall would post it on arfcom again so that we could watch the hysteria there and weed out the BS, but since I put “m4carbine.net” on it they probably won’t allow it to be posted.
I’m banned from most places that I’d post it to test the waters.:eek: Those include
ar15.com
1911forums.com (we had a good result there last time it was posted)
10-8forums.com
I think I might cruise over to thehighroad.org and post it for them and see what kind of response I get.

Posted to THR here
The next time “the issue” comes up on AK Forums I’ll link to it there. I also post sometimes on PAFOA (Pennsylvania forum).
