From everything I've heard lately, the 6.8mm is obsolute because it has never lived up to the performace hype....., looks like most "Hi-Pro" AR enthusiasts are now leaning towards the 6.5 Grendel!!

Despite most of the people on here's opinions on Colt, LMT is the closest Colt copy there is on the market right now.

Colt copy???
You have my interest now! I have a couple of Colt USGI M16/M4 uppers that need Lowers, but most non-Colt Lowers are much darker in color How well does the LMT's color match Colt's?? |

DevL:
"Garbage Post?" Let me see if I can put this in "verbage" that you can understand......., "Hi-Pro (Hi-Preformance) Enthusiasts" = "Them their folks that's a gonna do fer AR's ta' makes em' shoots phlatter & hits harder & jest all's around purforms bedder"  Why do you think there has been a move towards AR uppers chambered in 6.8 SPC & 6.5 Grendel? Is it to get "less" performance out of the AR???  Me thinks not!! |

Talk about something thats dead. Proprietary barrel, Proprietary upper. And not much to offer other than a monolithic rail. |

That should say it all. It's still just a copy. |

Would you consider the VLTOR VIS instead of the LMT MRP?
The VIS will take standard barrels. Don't sell your guns, I did that before with my former SP-1 to buy a new Colt A2 model and I'll never do that again.  Introducing the VLTOR VIS! thread link |

I like the VIS, but is it as easy to swap barrels with the VIS as it is with the MRP?
I'm also curious about Larue's possible entry. |

MGI's upper is less expensive and takes regular barrels, plus I agree that I would wait and see what comes from LaRue

I sold a SP1 that I had... I regret selling it also. Why Does VLTOR do this to me after I got the CASV? Nathan |

Why does everyone want to swap barrels ?
(it is a neat idea for field stripping and cleaning, but. . . . ) If you swap barrels you will also have to swap optics ie: CQB red dot to a 4X ACOG or swap optics if you have a bullet drop compensator in the reticle or at the very lease re-zero optics and iron sights every time you choose to shoot a different configured rifle. I like the idea of swapping complete upper receiver groups; a piviot pin and a takedown pin and your done. Optics, iron sights, bolt carrier group are all good to go. I would keep what you have. It sounds like a nice combo. just my opinon . . . |

Close your eyes and slowly, very gradually, back away from the crack pipe. I know you think it loves you and makes you infinite promises, but you gotta yell at it, scream at it at the top of your lungs, " YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME SELL MY COLT UPPERS!! SURE YOUR SMOKE GOES DOWN SMOOTH AND MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M FLOATING ON A CLOUD OF TITTIES, BUT ASKIN ME TO SELL MY CHILDREN IS GOIN TOO FAR!!"
Honestly dude, you WILL be going through years of regret if you sell off these Colt uppers... DON'T DO IT!

Cheaper because the execution of the handguard/rail component of the system looks like shiite. -Big fat, YHMish tube -Shiny, grainy, nasty finish -Rails with the center milled out (are they even in spec?) Don't get me wrong, the MGI upper is a great concept, and I love the idea of the throw levers (instead of using a torque wrench like on the MRP or the "disposable wrench" with the VIS. The MGI is the only true QCB system out there (that I'm aware of). I also love how the upper is machined to use with AK mags in conjunction with the proper lower. It's like they put so much thought, creativity, and forethought into the upper's concept, but when it came to the rail...they took a dump. Keep the Colt's uppers for now. |
