I spent over an hour looking through 5 pages of search results to no avail.

1) LMT carbine handguards: they are single heat shield but are they the M4 diameter or the old carbine diameter.  Folks happy with them?
2) LMT barrel steel: Does anybody know what it is? I'm guessing it's 4150.
3) Does anybody have stron feelings about the LMT BUIS?

Thanks for the help.  Rainier has some for sale and I really don't want to keep posting questions in their thread w/o buying something yet.

Safe shooting

1. they are M4 sized
2. yes 4150
3. the LMT rear buis is a very good unit, built like a tank, better for use with an Aimpoint or e0tech though.

I don't have any but I know their M4 profile.

2) LMT barrel steel: Does anybody know what it is? I'm guessing it's 4150.
4150 proofed and magnafluxed

3) Does anybody have stron feelings about the LMT BUIS?
My preferred buis......I've got 'em on my LMT and my AR10

I have a Defender 2000 M4 14.5 by LMT


and a LMT M4 14.5 Spare upper That replaced my A1 Bushmaster shorty upper!


For a machineGun Barrel they are so ACCURATE

I have a KAC RAS  on the Defender 2000 M4

But on my spare LMT Upper I have the LMT M4 Hanguards cost close to 40 bucks
They are single heat sheilds wich work FINE in SW FL HEAT

I also Have CAV M4 HG that are alot Cheaper and are well made I think!
They are sitting in my Tool Box  Hint


BTW I use arms 40 BUIS      (KISS)
all I had to do is just install my LMT M4 didnt need any Left or right adjustments

LMT are good BUIS

BUT I HATE A2 sights on a CARBINE or even a rifle

LaRue makes a better BUIS. The LMT needs to be modified slightly to give proper access to the charging handle, and it has too many dials.

LaRue does make a top notch BUIS, but I have to disagree with you on the LMT. I use PRI Gasbusters, and I have not had problems accessing my charging handle using the LMT BUIS. It has too many dials? It's a standard A2 sight.

I don't like A2 sights. I've had dials spin on me. Now, if I was inclined to use the dials I would mark them up with white out or similar so I could easily check my zero. But I never use the dials for range, so its simply not worth it.

With a standard charging handle (switching to PRI when I get some paychecks again) the bigass screw makes manipulation harder for me.

The LMT is built like a tank, and I am sure it works great for lots of people. But when I can buy a LaRue for less money and it has none of the problems I have found using the LMT sight, its an easy choice. YMMV.
