LMT makes a very high quality upper. My only gripe is that the receivers on the ones I have owned were purple and poorly finished on the inside. Those are purely cosmetic issues, though, and in no way affected functionality. I currently have a 14.5" upper residing on a favorite RRA lower and it has been very good to me.

If Colt were not a choice, LMT would be my first choice before any other makers
LMT = Good stuff |

I've got one. I haven't used it yet, but its finish is pretty even. It's a nice deep dark black. The only marks on it are from the barrel vice block thing that clamps around the receiver to hold it while the barrel is installed. I've seen many pictures of LMT uppers, and most of them have this. It's only cosmetic though, so it doesn't bother me. Someday when I get a Fab10 or Bushmaster CA-Legal lower, I'll FINALLY get to shoot it!

I own Colt (many),and LMT (14.5'' tube w/phantom fs-LMT 16BCG). Have been very happy with the fit/finish/function of my LMT. I'm getting 2500fps with TAP75gr ammo, 2'' groups @100M using aimpoint M2 4MOA dot. The only thing I added was a crane "O" ring to the extractor spring. I also have their lower....OUTSTANDING fit/finish/function......will buy again! YMMV

LMT M4 w/ standard semi-auto bolt.
No malfunctions, fit/finish is perfect (upper is black, not purple), very satisfied. |

Bradd D, I just got my 2nd. LMT lower and both of them are dark black and match up perfit to the LMT upper and my other brand other. I can't wait until next week when I get my first Colt which is a LE 6920.

I have an LMT M4 and it is perfect in every way. It is the primary weapon I run at all the training classes I attend (never let me down).

I just got mine from Bravo Co. They are having a sale. Jump on it!
I watched the comments on this site about LMT quality for over a year. That made my decision easy.

10.5" and 16" LMT upper owner checking in. I'm extremely pleased with both of mine. 100% reliability is key for me and so far they haven't let me down.

After I bought my first LMT upper I was so happy with it They're all I buy now. I've owned several. Never a problem with any aspect.........finish, function, whatever. They all sit on Colt lowers.
good luck! |

I own a complete LMT 14.5” M4 & 10.5” CQBR. I have been extremely pleased with both of them. Not one single problem. I have even run the 10.5" through a relatively high round count class with zero issues.

I bought a LMT 16" upper last Spring and then a LMT Defender 2000 lower a few months later from the EE.
The fit of the upper with the lower is perfect, not loose or tight, it's better than my other two Colts (6721 and M16A2 clone). The finish is close enough match for me, it's almost black but not purple. It functions just like my Colts and I'm happy with it.  I upgraded it with the following components: KAC M4 RAS & VFG LMT fixed BUIS & M16 BCG (with rare chromed bolt finish) KNS pins Stag Arms ambi selector Magpul MIAD grip, trigger guard, mag followers & Ranger plates Vltor CAR Modstock Aimpoint M2 with KAC mount Wolff extractor spring & extra power mag springs My LMT Defender 2000 (old photo) link |

I sell 'em and I run 'em. Mine have been 100% reliable. I am running full auto carriers in them and run them full and semi auto. I have a 14.5 and 1 11.5" and 2 10.5 and they are all running LMT or CMT BCG's with Crane O rings.
I have sold around 100 uppers and only 2 have had problems and LMT customer service got the problems solved in a week or less. Early ones had some vice marks but that has been corrected from some time. The barrels are all chrome vanadium Rock blanks, 1:7 twist, chrome line, MPI'ed and 5.56 chambers and they all have very respectable accuracy from chrome service barrels. Denny |

I've got a 16" LMT and 14.5" LMT M4 upper.
Both are very very nice, and I have no issues. The 14.5" my buddy bought for personal use in Iraq and served him well, so there is another testament to reliability. For people in the "know" LMT is highly favored as well... LMT seems to have a high speed low drag halo around it which of course means a market premium... LMT's image makes it perfect for a lazy armchair commando like me, just in case ninjas attack my house. |

My current M4 has had an LMT upper for the past two years and 3500 + rds. They are very well made and the machine work on mine is flawless.

I got two 14.5's from MSTN when they first came out. LMT is good to go.
