    I rank LMT highly. I just don't like the fact that as a non-leo, I would have to order it as 2 seperate parts to get a complete rifle.
    You don't like the fact that by ordering it in two separate parts, you can avoid paying federal excise tax on a complete rifle of 11%? Call me crazy but I'm ok with that, I can get a complete LMT for under 900 bucks minus BUIS through my FFL holder.

    I understand this is no longer the case.

    Well, if you know of a dealer that sells complete LMT rifles to non-leo's please share that info. I would love to purchase an LMT rifle. All of the ones I have checked with do not sell complete rifles to non-leo's.

    When I purchased my Colt, that option for LMT was unavailable. So the choice was a no brainer for me.

    lmt m4 bbls are actually a much better barrel than the colts.....

    reason being that they are NOT bound to the tdp....which is normally opposite. just so happens that the tdp is a little retarded when it comes to bbl specs. there are better ways to do it, and lmt does it better.

    PM sent with link to his thread on TOS, stating General Public sales.

    I also believe G&R sells them: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...on&key=HGSTD16

    I'd like some detail on that assertion too. LMT is just a 4150 1/7 chrome lined barrel. No taper pins, and no park under the FSB...

    Could this be part of the reason for ARin's statement?

    you can bet your A$$ that if not parking under the FSB and useing straight pins were better Paule (BCM) would do it that way . these things may be no big deal to most of us but the hard core perfectionest's that realy know what they are doing are doing it for a reason . they could save time and money short cutting the prosecess. while I don't know if it makes any differance on a recreational AR or not the best insist on it . If I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time ,but when I don't know for sure I look at what the people in the know are doing and defer to them and thier vast knolage on the subject and it apears to me that parking under the FSB and useing taper pins is the perfered method of the experts.
