I haven’t used it or own one, there are now Titanium Carrier on the market, its light and full profile, never dared to own one, my wallet can’t handle it, but sure interesting
I have a skeletonized titanium BCG on the way from RCA, supposedly almost as light as the JP aluminum but pretty much the longevity of steel - no downsides - looking forward to trying it.
I saw a JP LMOS BCG at the range last week, it was a thing of beauty and would probably have been the direction I would have went were it not for the RCA.
The LMOS with an adjustable gas block really is something for competition. Zero recoil with the right comp and almost no impulse. 223 is light as it is, but with this setup, doubles are virtually side by side.
Mine has been totally reliable...never had an issue but I only shoot factory ammo. I'm just not convinced it won't break one day....that's why the answer somewhat depends on the OPs intended use.

Here's some video while I was in the US

oops...try now
ok, so what I understood that if I have adjustable gas block (which I do), it's always better to get lightweight BCG.

Better?, maybe since you can optimize and take advantage of the gas tuning of your action, if you prefer not to go with LW BCG you can still benefit from the adjustable GB, most of the factory rifles are over gassed because the manufacturers wants to make sure that your rifle will run, but sometimes over is not better, also consider the longevity of your rifle, brass extraction, .. before the spring and buffers are the parts involved in masking the Over Gassed issue, with Adjustable GB you have another option.
