JP LMOS-Complete bcg vs Carrier

[TyinTX]

I am going to get a Jp lmos bolt carrier and I am debating between getting the complete unit or just the carrier. Is the JP enhanced bolt worth the price for improved function with their carrier?

This guy supposedly invented or supplied the JP enhanced bolt and he will tell you the JP enhanced bolt is not longer enhanced... I have 3 JP's with zero issues but I am no Keith Garcia

That is a hard question that really depends on the size of your wallet. I use both the JP low mass and full mass carriers with their enhanced bolts. There is no doubt they are superior to a std mil spec bolt in material, finish and certain design features. They work every time I pull the trigger but I could stick a mil spec bolt in there and I'm sure it would too.

I paid for one of the best carriers and wanted one of the best bolts to go with it. Their precision-ground gas rings with the carriers roller-burnished bore gives the lowest friction bolt operation I've ever had. I felt it was worth it to get the total package and be done with it.

I got the package on sale for $300 shipped and don't regret a dime of it. Buy once, cry once. Good luck!

I wanted all my AR guts to be coated/treated via nitrocarburizing, nickel boron, or unicorn tears. I went with the JP Lmos with a failzero bolt, cam pin, and firing pin.

I headspaced it once, and it's been super reliable since round 1. At the time I thought I may have been missing out with the JP bolt, but if I am I certainly don't notice it.

Either way, JP will always take care of you.

I am normally a buy once, cry once believer. I have a few JP parts already and have no doubt on the quality. I do not have enough rounds on any ar bolt to have been running one of the cheapest brands in my rifle. Maybe would feel different about the enhance bolt if I had a failure or malfunction with my current bolt but the big advantage I see it having is the JP gas rings. I can add that to any bolt it looks like, may not be as good, but I don't see myself as being able to tell the difference.
