Re: LMT Enhanced Bolt Carrier

I would...
I run the Noveske 10" 300 BLK + H2 Buffer with a Semi Auto 1st Gen LMT Enhanced BCG and I'm pretty sure that the gas system is tuned to the same levels as the 8".
Of course, without actually trying it, there is no guarantee that it will work.
If it were me though, I'd take the plunge.
I had the advantage of using the LMT Enhanced BCG from my 5.56 upper to function check it first though.
On a separate non LMT BCG matter:
The Noveske 8" & 10" 300 BLK barrels have a gas system that is perfectly tuned for subsonic suppressed loads.
My 10" barrel is also SUB MOA out to 300 yards.
However super sonic suppressed loads using AAC recommended powder charges & AAC Brass have given me pressure signs.
This was easily remedied by doing my own load development and working up to what worked best in my barrel.
Here is my 300 BLK setup and what has worked best for me:
MK12 MOD-BLK
- Upper:
LAR Forged A3 Upper Receiver
Tear Drop Forward Assist
LWRC dust cover with black spring
LMT Enhanced Bolt Carrier
LMT Enhanced Bolt
LWRC Advanced Cam Pin
PRI Gas Buster Charging Handle
Noveske 10" 300 BLK Barrel
PRI Gen 3 Tube
A.R.M.S. #38 SPR MOD Sleeve
A.R.M.S. #40 flip up rear sight
A.R.M.S. #22 Rings with TRR and TRC
Leupold 3.5-10x40 Mark 4 LR/T M3 Front Focal Riflescope, TMR Reticle
Tango Down ACB-4 Bipod
CQD Forward Sling Mount
- Lower:
LAR Forged Lower (Form1 Registered SBR)
Falcon Ergo Ambi Grip
RRA 2 Stage LPK
Magpul Trigger Guard
Magpul B.A.D. Lever
CQD Rear Sling Mount
LWRC Buffer Tube( with increased drainage capacity for maritime operations)
LWRC CS Action (Buffer) Spring
DPMS H2 Buffer
LMT SOPMOD Stock
Subsonic loading:
- 10.3 grains of AA1680 under a 220 SMK (AVG Velocity 1,035 fps.)
Supersonic Loadings:
- 19.0 grains of H110 under a 125 Grain AAC / SMK (AVG Velocity 2,127 fps)
This is the most accurate load for my 300 BLK
- 18.0 grains of N110 under a 110 Grain V-MAX (AVG Velocity 2,053 fps)
This load is absolutely devastating, but has given me "failure to feed" malfunctions on the last couple rounds in a 20 round magazine.
The new 300 BLK specific bullets being developed should be making some serious waves when they become available.
The two that are already out, (125 AAC / SMK, & Barnes 110gr TAC-TX™) have been very well received.
