im thinking about buying a complete LMT and was wondering how many of the members owne these..ive done alot of research and heard the whole top tier / lmt VS. colt...debates ..im guess im needing to hear some more positive comments to get my butt in gear to buy it.
Just do it.
I own 2 LMT's 4 Colts and a few others. LMT nor COLT has ever let me down.

I own 2-LMT and I wish that LMT would sell SBR lowers or complete SBR's.
I own both complete LMT & Colt rifles. Unless you're looking for a pony rollmark, the LMT is every bit as good as any of my Colts.

i guess that was all i needed..im going to order it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm also another very satisfied LMT owner :)
I own two complete LMTs. One is a 10.5" and the other is a 16". I'd like to get one more before the '08 elections.
I own 2-LMT and I wish that LMT would sell SBR lowers or complete SBR's.
That would be fantastic. I bought my two Colt 6933s because they were available as factory SBRs. I'm selling my Colt 6450 and having a 9mm SBR built because the builder can do it as a factory SBR.
I'd like to see more companies in general offer factory SBRs frankly.
I have a 14.5" upper. It has worked perfectly with brass cased ammo. It doesn't do so well with steel cased ammo though.
Have owned several. One of the best AR's on the market.

One LMT upper
Two Colt uppers
Two Colt lowers
All very nice
C4IGrant, do you offer a LMT monolithic upper w/ 16" barrel complete with lower?
If you buy it complete theres a excise tax....cheaper to buy both from grant idividually. can be done on the same transaction too.

who has it in stock??? i have the money ready to go and i cant find one.rainier is out of the model i want ,so is brownells and for my gunstore to recieve one from LMT they have to become a dealer and buy so much from them..whats a good place guys? i just woant the standard trigger with standers LMT collapsable stock..it would figure when i got some cash i couldnt find one ..lol
im buying the lower now and the upper in a few weeks when i have some money comeing in..
My personal opinion (and that's all it is) is if you purchase a complete rifle, the Colt 6920 is the best route. If you are going to assemble, LMT is your path. I have 3 Colt 6920s and 2 LMTs. IMHO the Colts are better. This isn't statistically relevant, but I'll share my experience none the less.
I really don't have any huge complaints about LMT, their sopmod stock is the best by far for me. I like VLTOR too, but I have a beard, and it had to go. The LMT Sopmod stock replaced them. The only problem I've really had is the magazine release. For some reason on the LMTs, the shaft is a little longer. And I tend to press the button in fairly hard while moving and shooting, and on both of my LMT lowers, when its pressed in too far, it hangs up on the left side. I tried pressing in the button and screwing it in another revolution, but it still hung up. I screwed it in one more time and that solved the hang ups, but then the threads were sticking out of the button. Its a simple fix, I can either grind down the shaft a little bit, or grind down the back side of the mag catch. Its a little thing, but my Colts don't have this issue.
The crazy thing is that I never experienced this while shooting on a standard range. I guess I don't press the button so hard at the bench. While moving I tend to grip a little bit harder, and press the buttons a little harder, and my experience changed.
Own a LMT MRP. Just as good as my 6920

Same here, I own a Colt 6721, Colt 6520 and a LMT Defender. All have been 100% from day one.
Get one from Grant! I got mine in about a week, and am very happy with it, as well as my Colt. Have not had the mag release problem with mine.

You guys are fueling my LMT lust. If my next tax return is as good as I think it will be, it'll be on!

Im a LMT dealer and im telling you if you want one buy it from Grant right now! They are way behind(3months+) and it is only going to get worse the farther we get along. I had everything sold from my pending order and decided to keep 2 of them for myself.

LMT MRP owner (multiple calibers and barrels) and I sold 1 Colt to get it and I have a Colt that is a safe queen now. For the money I have run the snot out of LMT. I have a naked lower that I just put paperwork in for SBR and I can't wait. You can't really go wrong withColt but for the money I enjoy LMT alot.

A lot of people own LMT guns and don't even know it, they just have a different name written on them.

Can you explain this please, does LMT Private Label for other manufacturers?
I sent Grant an e-mail today as I want to try to get the LMT approved at work. The way I see it they are far and above in quality to the approved BushMaster's and Armalite's.... Anyone care to add to that? I'd appreciate any ammunition to support my cause......
Thanks,
Jack
Lewis has built parts for almost all major AR companies including one of the two you mentioned.

well i guess thats what it took..i ordered a LMT lower with a SOPMOD Stock today and hope to get myself a upper in a few weeks.
When next year will the L.M.T. Gas piston upper be available?
I have 3 LMT uppers 10.5, 14.5 and 16 they are all very reliable.

BTDT... What are the approval criteria and related minutiae of your process and problems?
I'm kind of new on this board, so a kind hello to everyone. :D
I own an LMT MRP upper, and love it. Has run flawlessly for me. This is my beauty right here:

I've owned nothing but LMT's for the past five years or more. Including 10.5",14.5", and 16" uppers and several lowers. Not to mention several LMT individual products like SOPOD stocks and fixed front & rear sights. Every single LMT product that I have ever owned was flawless and performed perfectly.
They have earned my trust and I continue to purchase their products without hesitation.

Beatifull AR is that some sort of 10 round PMAG I spy there? :confused:
My Girlfriend just brought me a LMT TODAY!! :D She said that she thought I would like it so it is my early X-mas gift. She just gave it to me, kissed me and left :eek: I am going to have to marry her I think she is the ONE.

If someone would tell me how to post photos I will post them.
