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
Bri
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.
I have this Brownells one and it is a POS, I should of bought the more expensive one Robb listed in the tool thread.

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.

I am going to have some FN contracted BCG’s done in Ion Bond here soon. 
I will let you know how they turn out.

For the OP, I will run any of the following BCG’s:
LMT
BCM
Colt
FN Contracted

UI just got mine and the threads are not straight and takes some work to get it to work. I think im going to send mine back and get Robb’s recomendation.
