My First LWRC - Thanks Engage Armaments
Hello. I just got my first LWRC the other day. I was very close to pulling the trigger on a REPR, but couldn't get past the cost of practicing with .308, especially after laying out $3500 or more on the REPR. Perhaps I'll get a SCAR-17s soon. The savings over the REPR will allow me to buy a hell of a lot of ammo to practice with.
Anyway, I bought a LWRC IC Enhanced in Flat Dark Earth cerakote. I have other ARs, with my Daniel Defense M4 V1 being my favorite up until now. I took the gun to Fairfax, so I wasn't able to really check its accuracy. Both the DDM4 and LWRC were pinpoint accurate out to 50 yards. I used an Aimpoint on my DDM4 and an ACOG on the LWRC.
The LWRC felt lighter, although I have more mounted on my DDM4. Both guns absorb any recoil that the 5.56 delivers. It felt like I was shooting .22 rifles. Both guns operated without a hiccup on AE 5.56.
The biggest difference was that my DDM4 was filthy after shooting 150 rounds, while the LWRC's BCG was no worse for the wear. Wow! I can get used to this piston stuff.
My impression on the LWRC IC Enhanced is that it is really well made. The Cerakote was perfect. All the internals look machined perfectly. I mounted an ACOG on it and then added a Daniel Defense vertical fore-grip on it. I don't think I'll add anything else, as it feels perfect to me.
My DDM4 holds 1 MOA out to 300yds, which is the furthest I've ever shot. While I've yet to test its accuracy out to 300yds, I have a feeling this LWRC has become my go to rifle now.
Long range trip to follow.
