i have one and LOVE it, it's a F'ing laser to shoot. the only down side to me is that the gas is vented into the handguard and that makes it kind of hot to shoot without gloves. i would love to have a 10 inch upper from them, when i have called LWRC, the CS people are friendly and helpful. i would recommend LWRC the rifles are solid, accurate and fun to shoot, best of luck

LWRC are great products. I currently own three of them. I was a local group shoot yesterday and the RO shot my IC. He walked up to it and his eyes widened. He said it is a pleasure to shoot. OP, a few questions for you.
1.) Do you know the round count on it? 2.) What model/maker of watch? I would say look up the value of both and see if the numbers are close or in your favor, maybe not heavily in your favor so as to not screw your friend. |

An A2 was my first L'dub, it was spot on. A tad heavy, but an excellent shooter.

It is an Omega Seamaster. I value at $1300-$1500.
50 rounds thru the upper. |

There is the PWS. I'm not able to find the H&K, at this time. I personally prefer the LWRC setup, over both the PWS and H&K but I'd love to own any of those 3. Best externalized piston systems in the market, shoved into an AR platform. ETA: I seem to fail at embedding, so here is a link to the video |

Wasn't trying to start any BS in a tech forum, I was honestly interested in anyone's and everyone's opinions on what they considered the best piston systems.
I don't have any experience with them in AR's and would like to get one soon but it's a hard decision for me on which one to buy. I'm not so concerned with the cost I just want a good one for my first piston purchase. Cheers, fellas. |

I did find a cutaway image of the MR 556 rifle but it was just a still image of a promotional mat that H&K produces. I can send you the link to it, if you're interested. I haven't been able to find any videos of a cutaway H&K MR556 though, sadly. Realistically speaking, you'd be well suited with any of the above mentioned externalized piston setups. I toyed with the notion of picking up an H&K MR556 myself but ended up sticking with LWRCs. Just my personal preference and I can keep all of my parts within the same setup, so works for me.

i done a pretty extensive search ystdy. and found some info on H&K's, probably some stuff you and everyones else who likes/uses gas piston rifles.
i have 4 LWRC/LWRCI piston versions, i like every thing about them except for that damn flat spring POS, one of my LWRCI guns has had 2 broken springs with less than 5,000 rnds., i went to my local Ace Hdwr. store and found the right size ROUND wire spring, it was a bit long so i nipped off a half inch, installed it and now after about 2,500 rnds it is still functioning very well. |

A guy posted a youtube video about his spring, and spring cup, busting on him, while out in the field, and not even noticing. Rifle functioned for him, without the parts operating. Makes me ponder if the system could actually work without the spring and actually use the one piece carrier to push the op rod back into place. Would be an interesting test. |

I think he's referring to the military tested mall cop reply above. I have two LWRC's and a PWS and I'm going with the PWS as a hair better. No springs and less weight are hard to argue with. I think the fact that LWRC's needing a better spring, mags won't drop out and their out of spec bolt hold open issues are not worthy of a $2K rifle. The LWRC has far better furniture and the stock sights are very worthy of a $2k rifle. I would never use military testing as a gauge to prove worthiness. Still can't bear to sell one of the LWRC's however.

LWRC has some nice features but their QC has been hit or miss, you have to take the top rail off and service the gas system and a couple other more personal things I don't care for.
That said the Six8 is awesome and I'm going to get a receiver set and a Noveske barrel. |

Odd comments about a company you've only handled a product for 'once' no? I've owned 3 of them, friends have them, we don't really see threads on them here or elsewhere so where is this qc hit or miss? that said, and I've always said this, every company puts out some pieces that will not be what the purchaser wants. I've owned most of the big names and some of the smaller ones and the only rifles that will be 100% perfect guaranteed first time is a home build

My 5.56 PSD is a beast. No issues other than it does "kick" pretty hard. I don't know if that's just piston SBRs or all SBRs. Very noticeable difference from 14.5 gas and piston rifles I have shot.

Those conscientious about keeping the dust cover closed fair better than those who don't. This was also tough on the FAL and hence sand cuts. You want a test, get dirt where it will cause a problem, not all over the outside. Even after the water test he made sure to empty it all out, that is one issue the pistons won't have.

Tight lipped like a cryptic DEA agent, who's whole squad shot exactly zero rounds in anger, but had a bunch of problems. Like they might send a black helicopter to whisk off Combat Jack if he blew the lid off of the LWRC scandal. So the naming of a manufacturer as a problem, but what it might be is a step to far--is again, BS.

True enough, on most of the things they subjected it to. They actually did a follow up video, for a second round, and it didn't fair as well as they kept the dust cover opened. It did fine, after manually cycling the second round, after the chambered round fired, but again that is something that would probably work for most AR15s out there. I'm more curious as to the durability of the rifle though, from the standpoint of being thrown from a truck, having it run over and such. Would probably be fine but just would be fun to see. |

I've had a 10.5" A2 upper since 08' ish, maybe early 09 when my stamp came back.My intention was a suppressor host, which has yet to happen :(
It has the 1 piece BCG. I've shot pretty much only Wolf & Herters 223, and have not had a single FTF, FTE with that cheap ammo. I have had a blown primer or 2 tho w/ the steel shit. I take this rifle camping in 4 seasons, slung over my back hiking, sitting out in the rain/snow, etc. It is heavy, but I have the barrel off & ready for a re-profile at ADCO. I have shot around 2000 rounds thru mine, so fairly low count compared to others. I only clean the bcg about every 500 plus rounds, and it is just b/c I feel the need to, not b/c it isn't running right. I have all the replacement parts for the piston, but no issues yet w/ the flat spring or cup. My next piston will likely be Adams Arms, mainly b/c the price point. Once I get an AA, I might just do a 'torture test' on the LWRC. I'm not a devout piston guy, I have several DI guns I love, too. Oh yeah, I ditched the quad rail a few years ago & went w/ a Rainier/Samson rail for weight savings, been a nice rail IMO. |

I wouldn't put much stock in the words of a guy who has not been part of the company since 2006. I would, considering his contacts. |

I have 2 SPR's and a REPR . All of them have run perfect with zero issues . Every time I call customer service they've been awesome to me . My 2 cents .

qc hit or miss? didn't you say you 'shot one once' in another thread then opined on how there were better pistons out there? Odd comments about a company you've only handled a product for 'once' no? I've owned 3 of them, friends have them, we don't really see threads on them here or elsewhere so where is this qc hit or miss? that said, and I've always said this, every company puts out some pieces that will not be what the purchaser wants. I've owned most of the big names and some of the smaller ones and the only rifles that will be 100% perfect guaranteed first time is a home build Quote HistoryQuoted:

LWRC has some nice features but their QC has been hit or miss, you have to take the top rail off and service the gas system and a couple other more personal things I don't care for. That said the Six8 is awesome and I'm going to get a receiver set and a Noveske barrel. qc hit or miss? didn't you say you 'shot one once' in another thread then opined on how there were better pistons out there?

I have owned three. Started with a regular M6a2 then went with a 10.5 and now I have an SPR mod 0. I can say that the fit and finish of each one I've had has been superb. LWRC implements numerous very awesome features into their guns (nickel baron bcgs, cerakote finishes, and I personally love the removable top rail to clean). That being said, I'm still giving the number one spot to HK for obvious reasons but $3200 for an upper is not acceptable. Downfall to all piston systems is moving parts. Having to buy extra rods and cups is annoying and expensive. In all, I think LWRC makes a phenomenal rifle and a close friend who went to LWRCs commercial and catalog shoots had some very cool stories about the rifles. Thumbs up from me.
