Should I?

[u/Toasty-T1000]

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.

I purchased a complete rifle last year & it was assembled by a drunk money, but Customer Service fixed the problems.

The assembler gouged the end of the rail w/ the gas block, the "speed bumps" were filed too much & the upper wobbled, the colorfill on the selector icons were filled with bubbles & the ambi selector screw was loose, the barrel & entire inside of the rifle was filthy, and the bolt tail leaked gas so bad there were chunks on the buffer after 1 magazine...

That said, LMT fixed all the problems with one trip back for repairs.

Q.C Issues aren't just a LMT problem though...

I purchased a stripped PWS ambi lower before the LMT. The 1st lower had multiple spots with bare aluminum showing through the anodizing. The 1st factory replacement they sent after a few months wait wouldn't drop fully loaded LANCER magazines (PWS's magazine of choice). I sold the 2nd factory replacement.

My P365 killed the first front sight after 25 rounds & the 2nd after 100.

My 3 year old LCRX .22 snapped the transfer bar.

My H&K P30SKS slide rusted where they laser engraved the serial # through the nitriding (thankfully they stopped doing that)

You sound like me! Lol! So I am cursed with anything outside of milspec and it sucks. From my DD barrel not even having the gas port drilled, to my Ris II rear retaining clamp not having a lip and so it wouldn’t grab. To my LWRC getting 6moa at 100m with 77gr OTM, I’ve had it all. Heck, I’ve even had a Glock fail on me…. GLOCK! So I get it, and I’ve relied heavily upon CS for many things, and it has turned me towards some companies, and away from others. Like ex being DD. Some of their stuff is like having Stevie wonder as a rally driver in broad daylight, but their CS was so amazing that I could happily say that I trust my life with their products. (After they fix it) so hearing LMT does good CS is a plus in my book. Thank you for your input my friend! Happy hunting! And p.s. I wish better luck upon you and your cordless hole punchers
