[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 875546, member: 229"] Woa - I almost forgot about this thread. Well - I'd like to shoot a carbine course or two and was honestly looking into three-gun shooting (and my son's AR is way lighter than my setup now). My son also expressed an interest in shooting a competition (which is more than likely a long way away), and this all got me to thinking that my stock CMT bolt wasn't good enough based on what I'd read in the charts and on the various forums (thought I didn't have the black extractor insert, an O-ring, or the correct extractor spring). However, I finally tore it apart and while the staking isn't perfect (the metal from the gas key doesn't even touch the bolts but in two places), it is fully shrouded, has the black extractor insert and the o-ring. What else should I be looking for? How can I tell if the extractor spring is the appropriate one? If these are all mil-spec, is there any reason to upgrade (aside from the reasons KurtM laid out - which I've been reading about man - thanks for the info)? I've been reading several opinions about how with my setup - going with a lighter/heavier BCG could help or hurt me - this is on a 14.5" pencil barrel with a welded 5-hole YHM Phantom and an H-buffer in a carbine stock. I'm not doing any precision shooting with it, and I don't know what a difference the lighter/heavier BCG would make to be honest (I don't think I do enough rapid-fire shooting to need a lighter one, and I can't honestly tell what the point of a heavier one is. I can't honestly think of a reason to upgrade at this point unless something is wrong with my extractor spring. Its funny, I've had to tear down the BCG before for cleaning but never gave a second thought to paying attention to if everything was spec'd or not. I bought the BCG from TJ when he was still alive and to be honest, I wonder if I got an upgrade from the standard CMT BCG without knowing it. This post was honestly just made out of curiosity to be perfectly honest. [/QUOTE]
