What's so great about LMT rifles?

And you're basing this on...?

My own experience and the innumerable reviews of others and threads on this site.

Honestly, my biggest regret in life is not buying more LMT lowers and MRP uppers. I made a badass LMT upper a good while back and sold it to fund some crazy ass scheme.

I like Colt but LMT is the Truth. How naive I was.

I’ve been dealing with Colts for 20 years and the ones since ‘08 are the best they’ve ever made, and now with the EPR and the 6960 they’re even better. I think Colt quality is as good as it’s ever been.

We share the same perspective. I think people get turned off by the little inconsequential cosmetic flaws in Colts, where they skip milling some flashing or whatever, and then convince themselves that those things have something to do with quality. And then they completely ignore the fantastic durability of the parts and the accuracy of the barrels.

Oh well. Probably about the time that Colt is for all intents and purposes gone, that's when they'll realize how great it was. Should boost the value of all my post Colt Holding, pre CZ stuff.

I am still mildly irritated my Defender lower came with a standard carbine buffer. I mated it to a SPM 14 upper and swapped in an A2 PG and H2 buffer; now its a very nice M4-like gun.

Is it better than a Colt? Probably not, but its certainly a peer.

I could not have purchased a Colt M4 with RAS and P/W the FH for anything close to what I have in my LMT with Troy DI quad rail.

That is a nice AR. 👍

Thank you! I take no credit. I purchased the complete P/W upper with BCG, rail, and MaTech sight in the EE here, then bought a complete Defender lower.

The only things I did were to install a H2 buffer, Gissele G2S trigger, Colt A2 PG, AP Pro, and sling mount/BFG sling.

Yeah. That's insane, but easily remedied. I remember Pappabear got a complete lower with the carbine buffer. We shot it a little bit. Wow! So wrong.

Bro, no... it’s a carbine length gas system with a puny little carbine length rail AND a FSP. This POS is worthless.

Andy; kidding man. Being sarcastic. Nice shooter. Even if it’s really only neat and intended for someone 50 or over...

That is a nice AR.

Regarding the commercial bolt carrier, I believe I have read they don’t want/sell ANY full auto parts in their complete commercial rifles, however, you can buy one from them and put it in.

Several years ago I bought a complete 10.5” upper, new with BCG. I called LMT CS and asked if I could trade it for a F/A carrier as I had yet to shoot the upper. They told me to send the commercial BCG so they could make sure it was actually one of theirs and they sent me a new F/A BCG. All I was out was the shipping to them.
