Hey all, I’m eyeing up a used “early production, early bolt” LMT MWS in .308. The only information I’ve found is that early MWS bolts only had one ejector and may have been KAC production.

Is that a correct assessment? Anything else that I’m missing that would distinguish it as early production and early bolt? Can the modern double ejector bolts fit into an “early” production BCG?

Any other points worth worrying about with an “early” production MWS versus a new production one? Thanks!!

Send LMT customer service this question and post up please.
I don’t know the answer. Seems like LMT would know best.

I emailed them. The extent of their response is “early” rifles will have a single ejector bolt as opposed to dual. These early rifles are fully compatible with modern components.
