A friend of mine bought what was suppose to be a LMT upper today but the barrel is marked 1/9 and it isn't chromed lined I've only been able to find 1/7 chromed lined on internet is his a LMT or was he misled

5.56 LMT barrels are all 1/7, and they are chrome lined unless its a stainless MRP barrel.


They also have 1/10 6.8SPC barrels, and 1/12 .204 Ruger barrels but I dont think that applies here. Certainly nothing in 1/9 and definately not in 5.56MM.



Some vendors have no problems selling shady equipment to people being billed as something they are not.

I got had as well!  I've been thinking what I was told was an LMT upper was not as it didn't have "LMT" written on the upper receiver like I see everywhere.  Now I look at my barrel and sure enough, it's 1/9.  Oh well, it shoots straight and hasn't had a problem.

Regardless of how well it shoots...You paid for something not as advertised...I would be super-pissed...

I saw the same dealer who fooled me at the last gun show claiming another upper like mine was an LMT.  I might have to have a few words with him at the next show...
