Got my LMT Piston!

Pigs must be flying....

I picked up my LMT Piston from the gun shop today. My guy had ordered it at SHOT. I apologize for the lack of pics but I got home after dark and taking pictures inside just doesn't work here. The good news is they are shipping.

I'll take some pics tomorrow but it looks like it does in other pictures.

Easy to tear down. Very simple. Fit and finish look like a standard LMT MRP. Everything in the box is just like a regular MRP..they still include the torque wrench.

well wonders will never cease. This should be interesting. Any noticable changes from the SHOT Show?

Looking at the SHOT pics... The way the piston locks/unlocks to the gas block is different. It now has a small spring loaded plunger/pin. You press that in and rotate the piston to unlock it. Then it just slides out. Reverse that for installation. The only other thing I notice is that the bolt isn't chromed. The specs now say they use some special lubricating finish so I assume that's why. It's so simple you really wonder where all the time was spent....but then again, I don't design rifles.

It was just wrong to start this thread and not post any pictures.

Is the gas plug more like an FN FAL?

What about the BCG? What was their answer to the issue of a tilting BCG during cycling and causing excess wear on the RE's 4-7 o'clock positions? Maybe that's why they were taking their time?
