The longer I own my LWRC REPR the less impressed I am with them as a company. Complete inability to innovate, total lack of ingenuity, inability to even keep up with the market. They are literally YEARS behind everyone else. Advanced Combat Bolt? No. Keymod? No. MLOK? No. WTF is 6.8? Where is the light attachment that lets you remove the handguard top? The REPR is a FANTASTIC firearm, and they've squandered it for years. Painting it different colors, putting in different triggers, and shortening the barrel isn't even innovation, it's just marketing!
Instead it looks like they were trying like hell to get out from under Paul Leitner-Wise's barrel nut design. The damn Chinese can pump out MLOK and Keymod handguards faster than LWRC. All of their special editions are the same flavor ice cream, just different toppings. Some have sprinkles, some have nuts, and some have both.
