    I know they can't be swapped. A dpms bolt in an Armalite barrel results in to little headspace and an Armalite bolt in a dpms style had excess headspace.

    I have a Noveske barrel modified to fit my MWS and currently I run an Armalite bolt in the Lmt carrier with it. Could I have the chamber cut deeper to headspace correctly with a jp high pressure bolt?
     
    I've got an LMT bolt in an Armalite and it didn't require any mods at all.

    Either get the gages and check yourself or get it to a competent gunsmith. Either-or may need just a turn or two with a finishing reamer.
