    There is no contact with the left screw, it turned freely and was loose when I unwrapped it to inspect it. The right screw is well done.

    LMT

    No surprise to me. LAV and other great trainers have been saying keep away for a while. POF is right there with LMT.
    Big difference between civilian LE manufacturers and Mil Spec fielded kit.
    Personally I like PWS for the money.
    Where am I? Why is everyone wearing gray and eating Soilent Green? What is that stuff made of?

    never mind.... I am glad your Bushmaster had such a fine staking job. I guess you were the ONE that they staked.

    Your pic does not support that claim... You can see the metal in the screw was displaced buy the staking and it is in the exact position as a half moon on the key. I just had to check what site I was on... Thought I was on TOS for a minute. I guess when they test fired it somehow they missed a loose screw after they staked it....

    May not be worth sending back, but you need to email or contact LMT so they can be aware of the issue. As I have said before we cannot expect change if we simply accept something and not tell the manufacturer.

    Last year I purchased a Daniel Defense M4 with a serial number below 500. My wife sent me the pics as I was in Baghdad. I noticed right away that the castle nut wasn't staked. When I contacted Joe at DD he siad that wasn't right and told me to give him the serial number (probably to identify the employee?) and send it back so they can make it right. I declined for obvious reasons, but I still wanted to find out if this was the "norm" and bring it to their attention.

    Having been involved with manufacturing and construction, that type of feedback is very good to get.

    "Not a big issue, but X was loose within a week. We fixed it, but thought you should know" truly helps out a company on backtracking to the process flaw.

    I purchased a couple of LMT lowers that were manufactured for Lauer Custom Weaponry and they seemed fine - colors matched/no problems at all. I ended up using one to build a post-sample M16 out of it and had zero problems!

    I guess that I should have kept my shrubmasters or bought a DPMS! Maybe a Rockriver ?

But someone had to think to keep you alive; if you choose to default, you default on existance and you pass the deficit to some moral man, expecting him to sacrifice his good for the sake of letting you survive by your evil." - John Galt

    I also purchased a LMT lower through Lauer Custom within the last 6 mos and have not noticed any quality control issues. Bad batch maybe?
