    Not to change the topic too much, but I'm thinking about buying the 16" DI and having it cut down to 14.5" with a pinned muzzle device to keep the mid-length gas system. Has anyone tried this, and is there anything I should be aware of before diving in? I'd like to eventually SBR it down to 10.5", but I'm not in a rush. I've had the LMT lower for about 7 years now, but other priorities have kept it on the back burner. Thanks,

    I'm sure you can get it done for under $200, but have I ever done/heard it being done? No sir. Can it be done, absolutely. Just make sure the gunsmith knows what they're doing. And that the function is still on par as far as the gas ratio for ejection.

    Marvin Pitts cut my 16 to 14.5. I have had zero issues with it.

    I have a 556 LM8 upper incoming. LMT just recently starting selling LM8 uppers separately.

    Have the MWS LM8 and strongly prefer it over the standard railed MRP MWS. I'm sure the same will be the same for the 556 LM8.
