LMT .308 MWS Pictures show us your setup

[RUTGERS95]

ALCON, several weeks ago another LMT owner put out a net call (on FB) looking for a barrel locking screw for his MRP/MWS. I happened to have an extra on hand so I paid it forward and sent it to him gratis. Now I find myself needing a replacement locking screw myself. I went to order direct from LMT's website, but standard shipping rate is $15, which I think is pretty ridiculous for a pair of screws, never mind the fact that they're not the fastest at processing orders and getting things shipped out in a timely manner. Anyway, if any of you guys have an extra locking screw to spare please let me know. I'll gladly pay for it and whatever a more reasonable shipping cost might be. Thanks. Charlie Mike

let me check later, I may have a spare set. will come back to you toinght or in the am

Anyone at Shot Show?

Looks like LMT ia releasing a piston version of the MWS.

That’s what they sell to the Estonian mil.

I'm assuming not hearing safe at the ear?

I ask because I have a K and S awaiting approval, and I just assumed the k would be terrible on a 16"308.

I would not consider any 5.56 or 308 to be hearing safe when suppressed. I think of rifle cans as moderators - there to make it a bit more comfortable.

Yea, I remeber the trials. I just didn't expect LMT to make it for public consumption.

I’ve done that on my 556 rifles, but yet to do it on large frame. You didn’t happen to be shooting off of a bipod that you had loaded up, did you? And also, I know when I’m shooting off of the bench, even with AR’s, I tend to rest my thumb on the same side of the grip as the rest of my hand, kind of like how you shoot a precision bolt gun. Those two combined are what gets me my bump fires

If I was not on the other side of the planet at the moment I would send you a spare.

Boba, hit a brother up with your address on pm, I gotcha. I ordered a spare set many moons ago.

I wonder if you can get these at an ACE hardware?

I appreciate the support, gentlemen.

Yes, this is true. The SiCo Saker is not the best option for your MWS. If you don't mind a direct thread the LMT can is optimized for the system. Also, KAC has recently unveiled their new pressure reduction suppressor. Charlie Mike

ETA: Saker runs with the factory spring and XH buffer.

Has anybody run the LMT .30cal suppressor?

I try to use a neutral load on the bipod, especially when shooting the ACC. Not really needed for the MWS, but it does appear to occur when I find myself pulling the rifle in tighter than it needs to be.

As far as this group? Not that I'm aware of.

For those of you not on Instagram, FB, or ARFCOM.... we have a gun smith getting into barrel conversions for MRP, and eventually MWS barrels!

This is huge news. We may finally get cheap plinking barrels, 6.8SPCII, Carbon PROOF barrels, more 22lr, 9mm, etc. Barrels!

There are two gunsmiths who have been offering MRP conversion of standard barrels for over 10 years. I’m glad to see another option and they seem to do excellent work.

Marvin (who has a very long lead time), and who else?

I know DBMG (spelling) used to, but haven't for years.
