I'm also trying out slip 2000 EWL. The lwrc came with a small bottle of it. Seems to work well in the rifle it came with but I'm going to try using it in a few of my di rifles. I think another member recommended it to me for full auto use. If it works out all these years of using clp may be over..
I've never known anyone personally who has ever had a problem with an LWRC, but I've drifted away from them, too.
I believe the issue was chiefly with GenM3 PMags. From what I understand, LWRC did manage to very quietly fix the issue, although as Moyer says, they never admitted to any slip-up.
I've been using Slip2000 EWL for about 8 years on pretty much every gun I own - I like it, never had a problem with it.

The large county agency around me has been running LWRCs for patrol rifles for a couple years now and has been very pleased with them on both the operator (as in the guys carrying them) and armorer level. Their TAC guys also just dumped 416s for LWRCs due to weight and commonality.
Wondering what the cost difference is for them between the two systems. It is probably a factor though. It also seems like those decisions have a lot to do with the people making them, if that isn't obvious. Freakin TC in Afghanistan were using 18 inch DPMS rifles for gods sake. On a contract where each of their shooters was making six figures. Hmmm. These guys actually fought with these things (yes I did see personally) and you know what? They did just fine. Yet another case of it being the Indian and not the arrow I think.
Not sure on the cost difference and this definitely seemed to be a case of TAC wanting a new gun (which they seem to get every 2-3 years). I can't say budget isn't a thing for this agency but they have an insane amount of money available to their specialty units, so with them budget tends to not be the determining factor as opposed to most PDs. I should have been more clear on the commonality, this was referencing operating system parts (carriers etc.) which are proprietary to each manufacturer. Their rifles do not have MOE handguards and special guys run SBRs while patrol has 16" length rifles. I was not directly involved (diff. agency) in the decision and am passing on what was relayed to me by their range guys.
