    LMT & LWRC Prices

    The prices of my favorite black/tan rifles sure are dropping. I bought my LMT CQB MRP piston gun several months ago for just under $2K out the door and thought it was a great deal, now I see them on Gunbroker for less than $1700…..ouch. It does seem odd that the prices of LWRC rifles have not dropped below $2K since they are similar in features and quality. Does anyone know why LWRC prices are remaining so high?

    This week at the Portland Gun Show I saw a new tan SCAR 5.56 for less than $2300; just a few months ago there were guys buying SCARs for well north of $3K (up to $7K). The same dealer had a Bushmaster ACR on his table for the same price as the tan SCAR. It really was pretty cool to see both rifles side by side. After holding (fondling) both, I liked look & feel of the SCAR better than the ACR. The guy next to me at the table & my buddy thought the exact opposite; they really like the look & feel of the ACR. Maybe is we wait long enough the prices of both the SCAR & ACR will drop to $1500 or less were they belong…..lol.

    I'm was really hoping to see an new LMT .308 MRP rifle at the show, but no one had one. Hopefully the price of these bad boys will drop once production picks up and demand levels off. It is my next needful thing that I am saving for.

    LWRCi prices are still high because of availability, as far as I know.

    Cost is kinda pricey, so Dealers can't really cut too much of a break. Whats ridiculous to me is the cost of their uppers compared to complete rifles. Might as well just buy a complete rifle haha.

    I agree...If I had that much to spend I would save a little more and get an SR25.

    Iceberg, do you remember which shop carried the LMT piston? I want to check one out but not sure who carries them in the PDX area.

    I have an LWRCi REPR that's coming in a couple days.

    Will post an update on how it runs.

    First reliable piston AR-10?

    NW Armory carries LMT rifles. I looked at the LWRC rifles that Kieth's had on his tables and ended up w/ a LMT CQB MRP Piston Defender 16. I thought is looked and felt better than the LWRC rifles and was hundreds of dollars less.

    LWRC are too much money for not getting a monolith.
