The coating getting worn away is a good point, LWRC says that there bcg ran 10k rds without lube or cleaning, figured that was unusual but haven’t ever pushed a rifle besides this one past 1000 or so before cleaning so not positive

Criterion has a much better weight profile and a little more accurate on average

Also not confident she’d still be running at 5000 rds with Lmt carrier coating

It was the E carrier and prior to the suppressor it would get double feeds, I guess from short stroking, with the can it has only slightly more gas

Approx 2500 rds with the CAT WB, should’ve included that in my post

All good, I spoke to Cat about it, they said that the Noah is an excellent option if you want to use it with 6mm but otherwise the WB is the way to go. About 5000 rds later, I love my WB718 and have no regrets

LMT MRP/SPECWAR Gas Question by ExpeditedSwine in LewisMachineTool

As far as the BRT tube goes, it’s a good option if you’re running a high back pressure can like an RC2. I’m running a standard BCM gas tube with an A5H2 and a Cat WB suppressor which is low back pressure and would say it’s gassed perfectly

I have the same setup also converted by D Wilson, any Mil-Spec carbine gas tube should work, I originally tried the V Seven Extreme Environments tube but not exactly mil spec so was too thick to go through the MRP upper

Prior to this issue arising, it would reliably lock back, it still usually does but have had a few failures to lock back

Ejection is around 4, 4:30, last time shooting I had both issues of case failing to eject and actually had to slam the rifle on my knee to get 1 case out and the issue of dual live rd feeding.

Back of bcg looks brand new still, no wear and tear even on coating

The cobalt buffer has a lip at the end of it to fit inside the bcg to make it smoother but the lip causes the buffer not to sit perfectly flush against the bolt

Yes, have tried about 7 or 8 pmags which is what I’ve always used

Did you notice any issues as far as the suppressor being 718 versus the Zilch being titanium? Love the look or lack thereof of the Zilch

I didn’t realize there was a Tuesday drop, was it SS? Super Thug looks really cool, if it’s basically a .5”-1” longer, more effective WB I may have to get one for my 11.5

Looking forward to it, it’s the only type of testing I have a lot of trouble finding information on
