    LWRC 10.5, or LMT 10.5 upper?

    I have recently been blessed with the opportunity to buy a 10.5" upper. From those with experience, which one would you pick? LWRC 10.5 or LMT 10.5 DI? I am currently running a H3 buffer and Wolff Extra Power Spring in my 14.5 SBR. Thanks for the input.

    I have a 10.5 LMT with the Fa bcg, h buffer,and factory spring. I have shot .223 rem,pmc bronze, and fed xm193 with no issues what so ever.

    I have had great luck with my LWRC. I know a lot of folks hate on them, but they build a nice rifle.

    That said, I'd be tempted to go with the MRP. You can get the 10.5 in barrel like you said, or swap it out for the 12.5 piston, or even go with a 9mm barrel some guys are selling.

    You'll win either way IMO, but I think the LMT would be a more versatile choice.

    My old no-name DI would have some issues after some FA suppressed fire.

    I love my 10.5 LWRC - runs like a top. had issues a couple years ago with the equivalent of the gas tube coming loose and bending under the piston(wasnt staked) - LWRC took care of me. Looking to eventually retrofit with the new one piece carrier.

    Honestly this rocks with FA and suppressed - Mine normally wears a AAC M4-2000 - and a true RDIAS. This is really where a piston shines IMHO.

    I'll admit that I've never been a big fan of LWRC because of their history but I fondled one of their SBR guns at Virginia Arms and I was impressed by what I saw. Of course I didn't get to fire it but it certainly looked nice.

    I'd say you couldn't go wrong with either. I saw go with the LMT for cost but if you plan on running a suppressor then get the LWRC.

    I've own/owned the following

    LWRC M6A1 10.5" upper
    LMT MK18-ish 10.5" upper
    LMT MRP 12.5" piston upper

    If I had to choose one, it would be the MRP. Why?

    MRP gives you a true monolithic upper
    MRP has can be direct gas AND piston

    The MRP gives up nothing to LWRC and the MK18. If the MRP is not an option, because you just dont want it, I think I would go with the LWRC because SBR suppressed weapons are great with pistons.

    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.
