Chalk up another win for LMT...

[Slater]

Good on them...

"The contract will see Estonia purchase 16,000 rifles initially at a cost of 22 million Euros or $24 million. The tender for the contract required 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm rifles, the split along these lines is not disclosed in the announcement."

Pretty sure HK considers LMT a worthy rival at this point. I often hear that many of these foreign contracts are much more free of the problems that sometimes face American contracts.

I also think LMT must have a helluva rep in that arena, and IIrc that is LEI.

It's also gratifying to long time MRP users that .mils are finally acknowledging a design that has been around since late 2004 in the civilian arena.

That cannot be understated. These acquisitions also lend to the promise of greater perpetuity for the MWS platform.

I have never run up in LMT anything that was anything but awesome. I take smug pride in getting my LMT lower before they were mainstream.

Copy that. I hope they have overruns like the New Zealand uppers sold at Brownells.crazy prices on those. It took major self control to not buy more than one. Mine is money in the bank. Love it.

I feel the same about my Anderson lower... ;-)

Good for LMT. I’m glad to see them selected for another contract. They produce a solid product judging from my limited, non professional experience.

When was that? I got mine in 2008. Was I late to the party? Were they already "mainstream" by then?
