Your are welcome. Thanks for watching.

You probably already know this, but the KAC has a redesigned (and incompatible with any standard barrel extension) bolt, which is (normally) not coated. KAC uses a mil-spec bolt carrier. The Geissele uses a different material for their bolt, and a couple of geometry things on the carrier, and is coated. The Geissele will work with standard barrel extensions. I wonder if the best thing wouldn’t be to take the Geissele carrier with the KAC e-3 bolt, but in reality the only downsides of the KAC bolt is incompatibility and “difficulty” in cleaning because it isn’t (normally) coated.

How many rounds now.

How about now? Still holding up?

Thats not good. What specifically is it doing? What type of malfunction?

@@MrDbtn After a cleaning, I can get about 2 full mags through it no problem, then all of a sudden it starts to eject the old round and won't chamber a new one or sometimes just doesn't eject the old one at all, and in order to keep shooting I have to manually pull the charging handle back each time. I've tried different mags and even a 100 round drum, same issue.

@@rorothegoatboat sounds like a gas issue. Check gas rings, key and make sure gas ports are clear. Also check gas block and clean if it’s adjustable.

​@@rorothegoatboatu figure out your stoppage?

I got it on sale. Black Friday. I have been told most of their stuff is being made in house. The standard bolt carrier group is a basic mil-spec BCG like would come from Colt. The coating and cam pin are the two major upgrades to the REBCG. For me it is worth the additional expense. In general, I do not clean my guns often. I just keep adding lubrication. When I do clean them though, I like for them to be well cleaned. The speed of cleanup due to the coating is worth it to me.

It is on backorder currently. I called Geissele and was told there was no estimated in stock date and to just keep checking back. Doesn't look promising to be available for a Memorial Day sale but, perhaps, a July 4 sale.

I have a couple friends that are checking daily for some out of stock items. I can't believe how much stuff they are out of.

Primary Arms has it on sale right now for 23 hours!

Delaware Teacher I see. Geissele “sales” this Memorial Day suck. They’re starting to make sons of liberty gun works, look like bargain buys...

Good for my purposes. Around 1.5" at 100 yards with Black Hills TSX.

DBTN - Cool, thanks!

I have the 16in version...I was able to get barely under 1in with IMI 77gn.

@@JS-.- IMi 77gr isn’t that great of a round. If you want the best zero possible, black hills mk262 or the mk262 tipped. Expensive ammo very much but top end!

Matthew Traynor the bolt is forged and made using a new metal called C158+. Also the carrier geometry is “improved” by changing the rails along the carrier to better interface with the receiver.

The firing pin is also made of surgical grade steel

These bcg are rated for 100,000 rounds. Which is ridiculously long firing schedule. A normal bcg *might* go for 20000 rounds.

The picatinny DSL/ nanoweapon coating is another feature you wont find in a normal milspec carrier. you can not scratch DLC steel. It is literally as hard as diamond.

@Lynx Actual why’s that? The bad heat treats? That shit is old news, and was when they first started making them. Anyone that had one fail was sent a brand new one for free.

The whole upper is doing very well. It is my day to day duty gun and I have not had any issues. It is shot a lot and always suppressed. It gets very dirty but the bolt carrier group cleans up very easily.

Good question. I have done a poor job of keeping up with my exact round count. It in the 3000-4000 rounds range. No issues but that is a low round count.

@@MrDbtn thank you

@@MrDbtn how are the tolerances dirty?

@Lynx Actual not saying that but seeing even premium Gucci style BCGs are $150-$200 the $325 price tag seems a little high. My Lantac E-BCG, Sharps XPB, my lightweight, even titanium BCGs aren't even that expensive js.

To be fair that LMT enhanced has had its fair share of problems. I've heard issues with the lobster tail bolt. And everything being proprietary where this I can grab anything milspec and replace a part. I mean sure you could swap the whole bolt out of the carrier with the LMT but that bcg is made for supressed and overgassed guns. If im not mistaken it was designed for the supressed mk18. And now that I've been in the game a min I see phosphate FN bcg for 250 and all kinds of other quality bcg that run 200-250, so at 299(on sale and if you know the right place to look) with the enhanced coating and bolt metallurgy it's not a bad deal. It's expensive tho I get it. I'm perfectly fine with a quality microbest w/ chrome line bore and gas key. But for the 11.5SD I'm piecing together, I just might grab one of these. And full disclosure I do own a decent amount of blemula and 50% sale Geissele products, so I'm admittedly a bit of a fanboy. But trust me I get allllll the complaints I hear about Geissele. I hear they have a cavalier attitude a lot of the time when it comes to ppl complaining about finish issues etc from what I've read they had a bad batch of phosphate on some barrels and they had a "yea but does the gun still shoot?" Kinda attitude when it came to rust concerns at a very low rd count.
