I am partial to the LWRC, I have owned mine for 5 years and have has no issues with it even after around 6k rounds, I have been looking at the IWI and definitely interested in it as my next AR but haven't gotten around to anything beyond looking at it online and watching some reviews and I don't...

voted at Oregon Ridge in Baltimore county, in and out in exactly 1 hour including wasting 5 minutes for the lady to check me in because she couldn't manage to find me in the system and had to have an assistant help her, otherwise was very smooth and easy process and actually better than 2016...
