Full Disclosure: I have 2 LWRCs and really like them.
That said, monolithic platforms require a complete new upper should the rail get bent. How durable a monolithic rail may be is up to speculation.

I too purchased an MRP Piston when they first came out and paid more than what they are going for now. They did come out in the gun craze time. LWRC has maintained their pricing and has not lowered their dealer costs or MSRP's. The REPR did jump up in price but LWRC honored the original lower price to dealers that had their orders in early. REPR's are not as abundant in the market so I guess they can justify the $3600.00 price. For that kind of coin, I prefer the proven and ultra accurate POF 308. For $3600, you can get the POF 308 and a very good piece of glass. Larue had a cutoff time on their OBR before they raised the price by $500.00. I received an email today to confirm my OBR setup.
I guess as long as you didn't pay 10K for a SCAR when were first released, you should be ok. Maybe prices will continue to fall like with the SCAR. And hopefully the ACR will drop to the estimated and targeted original price of $1500.00. Only time will tell but there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking.
O
yes,
I have noticed the same trend and more to come imo.
Watch for the haircuts after the SCAR 17H and ACR .308's are released as well.
LWRC is too much money for their horrible QC track record... But people gobble up their internet astro turfing. :rolleyes:
Iraqgunz says the DEA guns are over in Afghanistan. LWRC is really being responsive to all the DEA's needs. They must be REALLY DESPARATE for someone to come through with a positive review of their guns....
... someone besides their own employees' fake positive reviews all over the net.
(I wouldn't touch an LMT for free at this point either. They're trying to take king of the QC problem gun hill it seems too!)
I've got a M6A3, I'm happy with. I'm not an employee. :D
But I'm only shooting at targets...
