    Have you ever actually owned an LWRC rifle? Do you have experience with there Customer Service? I have a M6A2 10.5 upper that had a loose front sight. They had me send it back and gave me a new one, in about a week and a half. WTF is your deal with them? Every chance you get you bash them but never say what your personal experience is with them.

    There is a fight, that began before any of us were ever born. It will continue, long after we have retired, moved on, and left this world. It is a fight for the soccer mom next door, your mailman, the guy that bags your groceries, and most importantly, it is a fight for your family. We are in a daily battle not for land, not for resources or colonial controls...we are in a fight for our very way of life

    I think LMT is fine as long as you can inspect what you are buying before taking it home.


    I just bought an LMT lower locally, and it was well put together. Others Ive seen were pretty piss poor. Things like staking on the castle nut not even being in the cut out. Just a random staking on the end plate a good 1/4" from the cut out on the castle nut. Trigger pin holes machined so rough the pin couple be wobbled up and down with your finger. The take down pin holes unfinished, and very rough machining.


    I now have 3 LMT lowers, and a variety of uppers. They all run excellent. I would not buy an LMT product sight unseen as at least to the ones Ive seen in dealers and bought online in the past they are hit or miss. A dealer could get 3 lowers, and one is all jacked up while the other 2 are perfect.


    LWRC might get my attention when they decide to settle on one design, and not be constantly introducing fixes as problems pop up because designing a piston AR that runs as smoothly across the board as a DI gun is still a developing tale. If you buy a gun today chances are in 2-3 years the guns they are selling will have quite a few modifications done as problems with customer guns pop up. I don't see a need to pay 2k a for a gun that is not "done" being developed.

    You must have LWRC radar or something. Whenever that name appears on this site you track down the thread and make a negative comment. Now you're adding LMT to your list and with nothing to back up your claims in the form of facts, or evidence. Save that bullshit for the ignorant. Please.

    I've never been employed by LWRCI or any gun maker (although I wish I was). I own two of their uppers (mated to my two SBRs). I've received nothing but positive Customer Service from them from even before I bought the first one 2-years ago. I have run over 10k rounds through the first one (10.5-inch M6A1) and around 4k rounds through the second one (12.7-inch M6A3).

    I've used these in carbine classes held by Larry Vickers, Pat Rogers and Kyle Lamb.

    Does that count?

    ADDED: I also have a 10.5-inch upper from LMT that I have used in the Vickers/Hackathorne class and have had no issues with it.

    First off, I'd like to ask what why you rip on them? What do you not like about their rifle?

    Overall as a weapon system do you like them? I'd like to inquire.

    (Piston ARs a joke? Us AK and FAL guys need ARs too. )

    I've seen a lot of ARs run through classes, I've read about even more.

    I've never even HEARD about LWRCi guns failing.

    That said I used to own an older M6A2 with a two piece bolt carrier.

    They replaced it with their ''coffin'' design for FREE. In less than two weeks.

    Their CS is amazing.

    LMT by the way. I've heard of recent QC issues. But I'm just not seeing it.

    Maybe a few weak bolt releases, but nothing real.

    I might actually get a 12.5'' MRP and modify it with LWRCi internals and see what happens. I'm diggin' the idea. I'll post a review or something if I do it.

    LWRCi guns

    Pinnacle of innovation? In piston guns... I'll say yes. In ARs... no. I'll give that to KAC.

    Pinnacle of reliability? I will openly say yes. Any gun that can be reloaded and fired as it comes out of the water suppressed gains that title in my book.

    I've seen the rifle do it. In person.

    (If I see a DI gun do this too though, it'll be mentioned. C'mon KAC or Noveske! )

    Oh BTW:

    If KAC ever makes a piston gun, it'll throw on an LWRCi or Noveske barrel and I'll never fire another AR again. Guaranteed.

    BTW Again:

    I'm surprised somebody found my thread on the LWRCi forums. I like it.

    This thread is turning into he said/she said BARFcom style bullshit.

    Is this what all of you want M4C to become?

    I have a LMT 14.5" upper and LMT Sopmod lower receiver that I received middle of last year and both of them were very well made. I haven't had any problems and the few times I had a question I was able to speak with Gene right away and even one time he was at break and they said he would call me back later. You know what, to my surprise, he called not more than fifteen minutes later. Their CS is gtg.

    My vote is for LMT. I have had the MRP rifle length 16", for quite a while and it runs like a champ. It's a quality company with some of the best lowers, uppers and complete weapons out there.

    Listen to this guys. I like to spend more time here than there, for this very reason. Experienced folks posting facts on what they actually have experience with. I want to chat and learn from the grownups, not play games with the kids.

    Again, I don't know how likely you'll bend a MRP or 6940's rail, but take it for what it's worth.
    Did you just post a thread from LWRCI as a factual representation of your statement? I am on over there and there are some good guys but the majority of them really are not that sharp. There are some exceptions but it is certainly not the rule. The link you provided demonstrates just that. Fanboys will always present an argument or scenario that makes their preference seem like the better option, remember that.

    As far as how likely...? NOT VERY, you are just as likely to bend a free float rail and barrel and at the end of the day, you are still out of the fight either way.

    And in full disclosure, I own both an A3 and MRP's...
