    My experience with them has been excellent. Within the past year, I also bought a 10.5" upper and heavy buffer for an SBR'd LMT lower. No problems whatsoever. I have never thought their anodizing finish on the weapon was on par with older Colts, but I'm more interested in reliability.

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if they want the bad part back I don't see that as bad CS or anything.

    My only experience with their CS was excellent, probably the best I've seen from any firearm related company.

    Hmm interesting about anodizing finish. Mine looks okay. Not that it matters.

    I have an 8 year old LMT that is probably the best AR carbine I own. I have an 11 year old Colt 6920 so yes, that is saying something. Enhanced BCG, FF rail, and a Geissele trigger. Needs an ACOG at some point. Still have the SOPMOD stock it came with and see no reason to change it. I briefly perused the MRP but it seemed redundant compared to what I have.

    I also have a 308 BCG for an SR25 kit that is sooo close to getting finished. Honestly I am a satisfied LMT customer. If I were going to get another AR like that, I'd get another.

    My agency just bought several hundred of them (more than 400). Not a single issue with any of them. We bought the basic 16" carbine gas with a drop in quad rail.

    They run like stink. And we're ordering more.

    They get punished like few private owners would ever treat their own guns. They are, so far, Deputy proof.

    I did the same. Runs great suppressed or unsuppressed.

    I've owned a number of their products over the years and have yet to be disappointed.

    LMT rifles are high quality. I would really like to get one in .308.

    I picked up a LM8 MRP a little while back. No complaints here.

    Just picked up a Defender lower with 2 stage trigger and Sopmod stock. Picked it up from a friend that had an extra laying around. It is money with every upper that I have. I bought it as a spare and have run five different uppers on it with the same "boring" reliability. I want to build an SPR upper for it as it shoots to nicely.
