The only thing I want for xmas is a 10.5" cqb:p
I've shot an LWRC in 6.8 and 5.56 they were seven or eight inch bbls we did quite a bit of full auto fire with their factory rep. I still smile when thinking about it.
I do not own one I just could not justify the expense. I have an LMT 10.5" SBR it rocks. If I remember right the LMT upper is a third of cost. That was the deciding factor for me and the LMT runs flawless. We can not have cans in Vermont so that was not a consideration .for me.
I have been very impressed with LWRC and their coustomer service. I liked the captured nuts on the rail system so the user could take the rail off with out any tools.
A select few here like to bash LWRC for the company they USED to be. The new ownership, from what I have experienced, have turned things around. I had a front sight that would not clamp onto the rail. I sent it back and they replaced it with about a weeks time total.
I shoot my 10.5 M6A2 upper every chance I get. It has a PWS TTO on it so it is loud, but shoots nice and flat. I have the 1 piece carrier so no keys to come loose. So far i haven't had any problems with it, but i only have around 1k through it. I finished it up November of last year when my stamp arrived. It is awesome on a FA lower as well, easily controllable. Eventually I will get a can for it, most probably a Brakeout/M4-2k.
I shot next to a rep from LWRC at a two day carbine course his 10.5" did not hicup at all. Neither did the three LMT 10.5" guns. The only issues we had were with a few Bushmaster carbines one buffer tube twisted loose and one guy was running his gun "dry" because that is what his chief told him to do. Once he was properly lubricated his Bushy ran fine.
I have an LMT 10.5" upper on one of my work guns. I bought it from BCM (excellent CS per usual) I've only had it about a month and it only has 1K through it so far, but it has run like a champ. Approximately half of those rounds have been FA. We are forced to do most of our training with "non-toxic" frangible ammo which can be finnicky. It has run well though.
I personally prefer LWRC for SBR length carbines. Their 10.5" M6A2 is my "go to" training gun. You would not go wrong with one of their guns or one from BCM, DD, or LMT.
