I am trying to get a spare set of BCG and bolt for my LMT MWS but LMT still does not sell these separately as parts. Have anyone tried successfully using other makes of BCG and bolt?
Finally bought a JP JPBC-4 .308 Low Mass Carrier and JPEB-308 JP EnhancedBolt complete with firing pin as a set. Checked out headspace and went to the range this afternoon. Put it to the paces with both my 6.5 Creedmoor and 308 barrels. Everything worked out fine! So, this is going down as a success! So, almost a year later, I finally have an alternate BCG for my MWS ... I didn't try to mix and match the LMT and JP carrier and bolt though ...
Glad you got it all figure out for a spare. Did you ever find out if the bcg's from JP can be used in a Larue or Knights?
I’ve got a .308 JP HP bolt in a LMT carrier. Both are top shelf. Barrel is a Stainless Proof 20” .260 +2 gas, Mega Maten upper/lower. It runs perfectly.
