michael1778 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I am in the design phase for a shared lower with two uppers LR-308 pattern rifle. One upper would be 16"-18" 308 for Heavy Metal 3-gun. The other upper would be in 6.5 or 6 Creedmoor. I would like to do low mass internals as well as adjustable gas. SLR adjustable gas blocks and a JP captured spring system are fixed into the design. Those aren't up for discussion. I mention them in case that changes your recommendations. Besides JP, Rhino, and Rubber City Armory, who else make a 308 bolt carrier that would be worth investigating for my two uses? One of the makers has replied to me with their BCG weight (including bolt). Anybody got measured weights on these makers I have listed or for your recommended maker's product? Thank you for your assistance. Edited December 20, 2015 by michael1778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Just go with the JP. They started the game and still basically own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwinter501 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Just weighed my JP LMOS from my LRP07 and it was 14.39oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Just weighed my JP LMOS from my LRP07 and it was 14.39oz Including the bolt? That's excellent. That carrier with the new high pressure bolt is (and has been) the front runner in this search. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShooterSteve Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Michael, it's time to bust out the cc and call Dustin at JP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Michael, it's time to bust out the cc and call Dustin at JP! That would be nice, but not until a new job in early 2016. I'm stuck in planning mode until then, at the soonest. Actually, some of my unused gear is about to go for sale. No safe queens allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
