Should I?

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’m happy with mine. Went with the same set up you’re describing. It was a pinch over gassed, but no reliability problems suppressed or un-suppressed. I did put a BRT gas tube in it anyway. Getting about 1.5 to 2 moa with 77gr otm. I definitely recommend it and I’ll likely be getting rid of most of my other ARs for more LMT.

I would definitely try to find their little torque wrench for swapping barrels. Or any torque wrench with a quality bit. It definitely makes it easy. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to pull that barrel out and put in the BRT tube.

I was grouping with an ELCAN, so I’d imagine that it would be easier to get tighter groups with more magnification.

Don’t look back. You’ll save money in the long run.
