The Kiwis also used the MWS. Not sure what the designation was.

Estonia has requested external piston rifles for health reasons. They are concerned with the health risks of overexposure to propellant residues and gasses (lead and other heavy metals). Approximately 14 companies submitted entries. These included: Heckler & Koch, CZ, Beretta/SAKO, Sig, Patriot Ordnance Factory, Israeli Weapons Industry, Lewis Machine and Tool and Radius. After the first round of testing, the only remaining weapon systems, which met the minimum requirements to continue on to the final testing, were Lewis Machine and Tool (MLCPS & MWS), Heckler & Koch (416 and 417) and Sig Sauer (MCX & 716G2 DMR). POF made the final down select, but was excluded due to the shipping of rifles for testing being delayed. |

smallarmsolutions If this is true it’s an interesting reason for choosing an external piston. Which is odd, as they (Estonians) use large numbers of "hand me down" USGI M-16A1s, G-3s, M-14s, etc. Their official "standard A" rifle is the Galil, but they don't have enough to go around. |

Those Canteen green MWS and MRP’s they sold a couple months ago were contract over runs from a government contract for a Central or South American country. Not sure which one though.

I have a vague memory of LMT building M4s for SEAL teams early in the GWOT. I think it would have been pre-MRP. We had a SEAL platoon attached to our unit in Iraq in 2005, and I remember wanting to get a look at their rifles to see if they had LMT markings. Does anyone know anything more definitive about that?

LMT for sure provided Upper receivers and Parts. But I don’t think there is any evidence they provided lowers or complete rifles Quote HistoryQuoted:
