Reliability was 100%. I was surprised that the spent cases only went about 4'. Accuracy was good, though it was shooting right with the rear sight I had installed on it. I really like the rubberized pistol grip and charging handle. The only negative that I can think of is the boing sound of the buffer spring after each shot. I wonder if a heavier buffer would eliminate that.
It seems that the LMT rear sights are available again, but the best price I can find is $188.10 which seems steep.
