    MarkM has no idea what he's talking about, especially when it comes to LWRC. I would suspect his ignorance applies to LMT as well.

    Remember that part of the reason that LMT prices were high was because they were very scarce for most of the Obama hysteria last year. They weren't delivering a lot of product for most of 2009, and people were jacking up the price due to the scarcity. But now they seem to be making more stuff, and it's easy to get the regular MRP for about $1500 and the piston for $1800. LWRC was delivering quite a bit of product and their prices have remained stable over the last year or so. I bought my M6A2 right at a year ago, and aside from the occasional sale, the price today is exactly what I paid during the craziness.

    i've been known to rip on LWRC. they do have a pretty shitty rep, and the whole piston AR thing is a joke to begin with. but there ARE LWRC rifles that run correctly- probably most of them, probably the vast majority of them. i fired one not too long ago- i only put a couple mags through it, but i rammed 'em through it, and it ran.

    my biggest problem with LWRC, and the reason i think people really like to get down on them, is all the ridiculous hype LWRC has pumped up about their guns- as though they're the pinnacle of innovation and reliability. which is hysterical.

    Mark has a stick up his butt over LMT, and will interject with LMT hatred in any thread that mentions them- but wont ever tell us why. having used a LOT of LMT parts, by hobbyist/amateur armorer standards, and having put tens of thousands of rounds through a multitude of predominantly LMT part guns, i'm just not seeing it.

    I’ve been hearing a lot of mixed things about LMT's newer products. I’ve been considering an AR build and wanted to put an LMT lower on a BCM upper, but I hear that LMT's QC has gone downhill. Rough machining and such...

    I bought my LMT Piston MRP CQB Carbine during the height of the pre-post election Obama gun grabbing scare. I had my order in late summer of 2008 so my dealer honored my original price which I thought was classy of them.

    To date, I have about 2K rounds through it with not a single hiccup. I have also noticed no signs of carrier tilt or any other problems. My bolt is easier to clean as is the chamber. Do I have to clean the piston mechanism itself? Yep, sure do but it is very easy and my overall cleaning time is definitely reduced. Fit and finish upon receipt of the carbine were and remain perfect.

    I am very very happy with my LMT and actually consider it the one gun that I have bought in my life to date that I don't have even the slightest tinge of buyers remorse about.

    Yes, I am "for real."

    We tried doing the one piece upper thing in the past but it just didn't make sense; we deal with a lot of customer who go charing through doorways and putting themselves in harms way (God Bless them) and they made a very good point...if they are charging through said doorway and smack their rail on a corner or what have you, bam! rail is bent easy fix though, replace the rail. IF you do the same with the one-piece upper you're now stuck having to replace the whole damn thing.

    Again, I don't know how likely you'll bend a MRP or 6940's rail, but take it for what it's worth.

    I've always been under the impression that LMT's products are of VERY high quality...just been hearing some smack-talk about them lately.

    I figured it was all bullshit...I've pretty much made up my mind on an LMT lower.
