I am looking for the most reliable BCG for an AR-15 pistol with a 10.5" 6.5 Grendel barrel, carbine length gas system, and A2 sight gas block. The YFS bolts on the Alexander Arms carrier concern me as I have read that these can be a point of failure. I have also read here of broken extractors so I would like to mitigate that potential. The LMT Enhanced Bolt Carrier sounds like it would help, if I can find one. Is it a good idea?
I want a complete BCG so that I can keep the AA one as a spare. If I get the LMT carrier I'll need to buy a bolt separately. The SixFive Mk136 bolts are out of stock and the JP EnhancedBolt is three times the price. Is the JP actually better?
The LMT/JP combination is the limit of what I can spend but it if will be meaningfully more reliable I am willing.
What do you recommend?
