Here are a couple of my recent builds. I used the midlength carbine at a Pat Rogers carbine course in Albion, MI this past weekend. It ran flawlessly except for a few type-1 malfunctions due to the worst lot of XM-193 I think that I’ve ever gotten. The M4gery was my back-up, which I didn’t need.
I’d like to say that it’s always a pleasure to train with Pat and the staff of EAG.
Both had several hundred rounds through them before the class, though I did consider them unproven. I totally trust the midlength now.
Midlength-
LMT factory lower receiver with:
- Bushmaster trigger from a spare LPK (replacing the LMT 2-stage that “failed” during last years class, it was fixed by LMT but I figured I go with a single stage on this)
- Vltor stock
- Magpul MIAD grip
- Magpul trigger guard
CMT upper receiver with:
- Denny’s Guns 16” midlength “Operator” barrel
- LaRue Tac 9.0 rail
- KAC M4 QD Comp (because I like the traditional look of an A2 but wanted something better)
- Young Mfg./LBC chrome carrier
- CMT bolt and bits
- H buffer
- PRI Gas Buster charging handle (because it’s robust)
- Troy Gen III rear sight
- Aimpoint ML2 on KAC mount
- KAC VFG and panels (though I think that I’m going to try a TD VFG on this)
- CQD front sling mount
- Wilderness 3-point sling mod’d into an Israeli-type 2-point

M4gery-
LMT Factory lower receiver with:
- Gapper
CMT upper receiver with:
- Colt M4A1 “SOCOM” barrel
- Colt bolt and bits
- full auto bolt carrier
- PRI Fat Boy gas tube (I’ve heard all the debate, it works and it’s not the only one I have)
- H buffer
- Sabre Defense extended A2 flash hider (perm attached w/ silver solder)
- PRI “Military” latch on standard charging handle
- KAC 300m BIS
- KAC RAS, VFG and panels
- EOTech 552 on LaRue Tac mount

I’m going to put a front side sling swivel and a Colt CAR stock (from Boom) on the weapon and also take off the CQD receiver end plate for a more authentic M4gery.
A big +1 to EOTech for fixing issues on their sights. My revision D 552 is recently back from Ann Arbor because of a wandering windage issue. Typical I know, but it’s impressive for a company to bring older models up to current spec like they do.
