Current state of LWRC?

markm is their corporate spokesman. I'm sure he'll be along soon enough to tell you all you want to know about them.

My last agency bought LWRC SBRs and Carbines, and seemed to have good luck with them. Most on this board will either not recommend them, or have not used them.

Believe me.... I remember. Until I saw these DI guns, I had zero interest. It isn’t 2008 and it’s pretty well established pistons aren’t neccesary, or even beneficial outside of some specific circumstances.

Did they fix your rifle? And why particularly shouldn’t M855 be shot?

They fixed it free of charge and no real reason on why just that I should shoot 55 gr. Ended up trading it in... and picking up a sr15.

I have two of their compact stocks. But beyond that I've only shot a few. One FA. It was fun.

A buddy of mine is a contractor and trainer who uses LWRC piston guns exclusively stateside and overseas. He swears by them.

The only real data point I have is that his gas block cracked around the 25k mark.

Gas blocks on DI dont crack. There is zero reason to own a piston AR.

This is what I can echo; deployed with a full suite of optics (ACOG, T1, EOTech) to choose from and a Surefire Mini Monster suppressor. They have been using them for a while. Next time I get a chance I'll ask and see if they are still using them...but his input was that they were good guns. IIRC they moved to LWRC from a short HK416 variant.

Does anyone have any recent experience with LWRC? I heard from a friend the company had changed hands and he believed the quality of products they were putting out had been slipping, but I haven’t been able to find anything to verify this. Back in the day (when piston was fashionable) I had one of their rifles and it ran well for me, but that’s been years and years ago.

A friend just picked up one of their DI individual carbine rifles, and it seems like a pretty solid option for the money.

I almost got one, but decided to get a very nicely build spr. I think if I was going to buy an sbr it would be between a ddmk18 a bcm 11.5 and an lwrc pdw. I'll give it to lwrc they make a very sexy gun.

Had these bottom feeding scum bags put out some non-dog shit products that I missed? No one should be supporting these dirty bastards. Shit product is one thing... but lying and spamming the boards with fake positive comments is really low.

Nothing in particular, just curious if they can still be considered high quality guns. My buddy just paid barely over a thousand for an FDE one, and it seems really nice.

It does seem strange that some of their piston guns cost upwards of two thousand, but they can sell DI guns for right at about a thousand.

No magic in a standard DI. Do the shit right and it doesn’t need to be expensive.

Well they currently sell DI versions of their Piston guns, which says a lot about piston guns. LWRC really rode the piston craze introduced by the non available HK 416. Now that people are over the piston thing I'm sure they are hurt on sales.
