help! can i get by with an lmt or will i die if i dont get a lwrc?

[sixfivesavage]

I'm still trying to decide what one of these I should go with. I know I'm going with a 16 inch but I can't decide between the m6a2 LWRC or the cqb LMT. I originally wanted to go 6.8 because Im not exactly in love with 5.56 but the magazine issues and ammo cost kind of makes it almost impossible to choose it over the standard chambering. So...do I go the LMT rout and eventually get the 6.8 barrel and change it out whenever I need to or do I go LWRC and maybe buy the 6.8 upper down the road? I would realy like to take some carbine/pistol classes and maybe some 3 gun comp at some point, but at the end of the day its going to be a SHTF gun that I want to know how to run hard not just shoot cans and crap. And this is a one time deal...I'm only going to have one AR so I want to make sure its the right one for me. Any help?

get one of each that way you can make an informed decision and zombies shy away from the truly prepared

If it were me, I'd bet on the LWRC. But that's me. I'm an aggressive gambler. Mr. Vegas.

I would feel better with the LMT.

if we were in Germany ... I'd make your bunk

Go with LWRC, they supposedly are getting or have gotten the USMC and DEA contract and those guys PUNISH guns before they buy

LWRC is def a step or two down from LMT.

LMT is one of the premier makers of ar15 componets. LWRC is a civilan brand that has no military contracts. Its also a piston system (most retarded idea ever for the m16) and costs about twice as much. You could built a fully decked LMT with optics (AP/EO) for less than one of the piston bastards would cost.

Source for this? If you are referring to the IAR contract, I believe it went to H&K. If LWRC got a USMC contract, I'd love to know.

I'd go for the LMT. LMT is well proven and, like nk02442, I just don't get piston AR's. They might have a place with a full time suppressed SBR or something (according to some smarter people than me), but even then I'd stick with DI.

I think the LMT with the changeable barrels is nearly as expensive as some of the LWRC guns, and i would go with their piston system over a DI gun. Also, you really need to stop the hate on guns and optics you think are too expensive.

Its easy to exceed the specs that colt and LMT build their guns to, and i feel LWRC has done that, with their nicorr barrels, And self lubricating coatings they use on their bolts and carriers, And even their improved bolt design.

Not to mention a piston system that keeps the gun running cleaner and cooler.

You must have watched the same CQB gun show last night that I did.

I love my LWRC M6A2, but it all comes down to personal likes/dislikes.

You are right about HK getting the IAR contract. The Marine Corps has no contracts with LWRC that I know of.

OP, you sound like you plan on using this carbine a lot (classes, competition, etc.). My advice would be a DI in 5.56 due parts and ammunition price/availability. Get a quality AR (LMT is good to go) and it will run fine.

It should be noted that KAC was also passed over for a contract for the IAR.

You should probably stay in your lane.

[jaypark]

[Kevp]

I don't know how else to ask you. I'm am trying to be somewhat cool with you....it is a big deal. Now get rid of it.

 

[jaypark]

if its a big deal consider it done and PM me with your number so we can get this cleared up
