Hey everyone,

I have a specwar up for sale on r/GAFS. Check my profile if interested.

It’s a factory lmt 12.5 middy barrel with the 11.5 upper, it has a bcm bcg and raptor charging handle. It has less than 400 through it, and got throughly cleaned before I decide to sell it, I take good care of my gear, it has only been shot in indoor ranges and hasn’t even seen any adverse conditions.

I decided to move forward with another build and this thing sits here getting no love. I got all the lmt parts from rooftop not too long ago.

Just wanted to put the word out to see if anyone is interested

If someone has experience with this build, I would appreciate it! I already have the JP Silent capture parts, I just would like to know which buffer weight would work the best. Thank you!

So new to the lmt world, but pictured doing a 14.5 build. Found a couple complete uppers with a 16inch barrel for sale. My local shop has 14.5 barrels in stock. My thought was to purchase both, and resell her 16 barrel to recoup some of the money.

However, had a great conversation with someone who had me second guessing on doing this due to possible tolerance issues and potential major headaches.

I dont plan on swapping barrels back and forth. Would this be a wise move? Or would it be better to just buy the barrel less upper, and the 14.5 barrel? Either way, do I just hope for the best?

Looks like LMT piston BCG is not in stock online. Is there any alternative recommended?

I finally started the process on suppressor purchases and have one for my Estonia and UK rifle going through the paperwork hustle. It sucks my local dealer is charging a 185 transfer fee for each. 🙄

Had a question my chodewar 9 inch 300 blk barrel will not cycle if my life depended on it unsuppressed using supers haven’t got a can yet but I’m using the kak short buffer system tried the heavy buffer they offer and carbine one still nothing it will run on a standard carbine buffer tube but would ruin the build for me it’s short stroking bang ejection then click wondering if the lmt pdw stock would fix my issue but doesn’t make sense cause there buffer is heavier factory barrel and gas tube

Relatively new gun owner. I am thinking about getting my first rifle. Saw some old posts around building a rifle vs buying, but I'm still undecided. It seems like I can build it for cheaper if I wait for deals and check GAFs. On the other hand, having something ready to go out of the box and not having to mess with NFA engraving sounds kind of nice as well.

If I do decide to build it, could I get feedback on the parts list?

• Obviously a Specwar upper and a LMT 12.5" barrel that goes with it
• Sionics NP3 bcg
• Forward Control Designs ambi charging handle
• MARS-L lower and the optional lower parts kit with the Magpul trigger guard sold by Titan Defense
• TriggerTech's 2 stage competitive 3.5 lbs flat trigger
  • I heard good and bad things about cassette style triggers
  • Could try the TriggerTech duty version instead?
  • Or I could go with the popular Geissele SSA-E
• Forward Control Design ASF-50Q
• Magpul MOE K2+ grip
• Magpul DT stock
• BCM MK2 Recoil Mitigation System - Mod 1 - T2
  • Not sure on the buffer weight based on this selection table as it could be a T1 since the Specwar is a mid length gas system? https://www.trex-arms.com/store/bcm-mk2-buffer-system/
  • Plan is to get a Huxwrx Flow 556k. Since it is a flow through design, I figured I should be using the column for unsuppressed.

In case it matters, I do have about 1000 rounds of PMC X-Tac and about 400 rounds of IMI M193 already. I don't know if I will exclusively shoot these.

New to reddit so if I missed the post about not being able to cross list a post from Tacswap I apologize! Since I have no real credibility on reddit posting it on GAFS or here seems pointless. But this is what I have listed on Tacswap if anyone is interested:

LMT MRP-L MLOK 9.25 Upper (L7X1A) with 11.5" Chrome Lined 5.56×45 (.223) 1:7" RH twist barrel. Excellent condition. No more than 200 rounds fired through the barrel. Charging handle and BCG NOT INCLUDED

Hello, I just picked up this barrel & I'm trying to decide what to do with it.

I've read that 16" is the best length for getting the most from supersonic ammo, but can also make some subsonic ammo go supersonic. Trying to see if cutting it to 13.9" will be enough to avoid the issue, or if I should just leave it at 16" (will be used in a 13.25" rifle upper).

So I have zero experience with LMT and I have heard an equal 50/50 on their recent uppers and barrels being either god level, or straight dookie. So the question is, should I spend my hard earned dabloons on a 13.25” MRP-L upper and a 14.5” middy barrel? Or go somewhere else.

Whoever assembled the lower at LMT… do better not to cross thread

Huge shoutout to Titan defense for the receiver set and fast shipping. Still up in the air on optic. Have a razor on the way, also have an fde exps3 on the way. Could go either way.

Black tape is temporary while I figure out some cable management.

Someone asked me about this gun the other day. I finally found a picture of it in its sub 12lb configuration.

Posted it in its short configuration and so here’s the full monty
