    My very first rifle(not just AR), is an LMT I bought last June. Like you, I don't want to buy a second AR, so I got the best I can afford. It is what everybody in here is saying. Get it before somebody does.

    Here's mine with an Aimpoint PRO.

    Just as others have said, verify the authenticity and condition, then purchase with confidence. There's nothing to be concerned about when purchasing LMT products.

    LMT carbines are not without issues, especially if it has a MIM gas key. It's used so there is no way of telling why the previous owner sold it. If you do a little searching here and at ARF you will find some reported issues.

    I would just spend the extra cash for the Colt. To me it would be worth having piece of mind, a brand new Colt carbine, and a non-MIM gas key.

    The gas key is a low stress component. Being MIM isn't an issue.

    Why is it that "MIM" makes firearm owners cringe when not a single car owner thinks twice about their piston rods?

    Grab the LMT and don't look back. The price is right. Don't let anyone try to tell you that LMT isn't top tier.
    Check out the LMT vs. Colt torture test. It's enightening.
    Colts aren't without issues either. http://www.northwestfirearms.com/rif...on-issues.html. http://1919a4.com/showthread.php?123...AR-15-Problems
    You look hard enugh you can find problems with any brand. Some are much more reliable than others.
    Krypto, you are correct. Piston rods endure a LOT more stress than gas keys.
