"Enhanced" Bolts/BCG's?

AR/M4 AR General Discussion

I am in the process of buying a new LMT 16 inch carbine and I was wondering which BCG to get. I will probably end up getting the LMT F/A BCG, but I have also looked at thier “enhanced” bolt an BCG. Do any of you guys have this item? What do you think of it?

I thought I heard somewhere that the LMT “enhanced” bolts had a higher failure rate than the standard bolts. Are these “enhanced” items proven enough to be used in a duty/patrol carbine? Basically, I am trying to build the most bomb-proof carbine I can and if the "enhanced " BCG grants me reliability, I am all for it. If not, I’d rather leave it off…

What do you guys think?

Why not just go with a BCM BCG to be sure? Pick up a spare BCM extractor kit while you’re at it and you should be all set.

The opposite actually.
