View Full Version : A concise question re: LMT CQB MLC
Have been increasingly interested in scoring a CQB MLC carbine by LMT and so started saving my pesos ... and... saving.
But, in recent weeks these carbines have disappeared from the website. :(
However, I see that the piston version w/MARS receiver and MLOK upper is still available.
Do I ...
A. Get the piston version of CQB MLOK while I can, or...
B. Hold out/wait for the DI MLOK version to return to stock?
I wonder if the wait might be a very long one, owing to LMTs military contracts...
If it's close to the configuration you want I would get it. Then later down the road replace the piston with a standard barrel and bcg. I have a cqb variant with the quad rail, and I hesitated when buying it. This caused me to have to wait approximately 6 months to get the upper alone. This was also back when they picked up there first mil contract, which was a while ago. So thing may be different by now.

The kiwi rifles are very good as well.

It’s still available, and the price has lowered:

Saw it; much prefer MARS lower. That model uses Defender lower.
Why not the standard CQB? There’s only a two ounce difference between the MLOK and CQB models. Once you start attaching MLOK rail panels you just about break even weight wise.

tombstone tactical has the mars-l lowers in stock . then just pick up whatever upper you want
They're in the process of finishing a huge move. I've seen LMT sell things I never knew they sold, for prices that were highly discount.
If I were you, I'd call LMT direct on the phone....tell them the exact configured rifle you want, and see if they can't sell you one. I see many configurations I'd like to buy that are currently not even listed as a option it looks like on their site.
I wouldn't look any further until you take that step.

Excellent advice - I will do so this week! :)
You have to look around, out right now. Mine was in within 2 weeks, you have to act fast though.

And all the posing and moaning over Colts

Looks like that carbine has a longer (much longer) rail.
Is that the same upper for the 20” barreled rifles?
