Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ninjassassin: New member here. I've been following this thread for awhile in the shadows cuz I was the kid that didn't have cool LMT toys for show and tell. I recently got a MWS and a Estonian rifle (both new and unfired). I have 2 questions that maybe you guys can answer. First, the bolt carrier on my Estonian rifle just falls out of the upper when I take the upper/ lower apart and tip it back. The Estonian carrier collapses onto the bolt when I stand it on the bolt. On a DI gun I know that this means worn out gas rings but the Estonian bolt doesn't have any gas rings. Is this normal for a LMT piston BCG/gun? Second question, The barrel on the my MWS slides in and out once the rear bolt is loosened and the front is taken out ( I have a LMT torque wrench). On the Estonian rifle I literally have to hold onto the barrel, tip it straight up and down and tap the handguard with pretty good force with a rubber mallet to get the barrel out and then I'd have to do the same to put it back in. Any of you guys also have this issues? From what I've read, the Estonians spec'd the carrier to be taken apart by one hand and also no gas rings necessary on a "gas piston" gun(get it), so all good with those. Some receivers are tight, some aren't, welcome to the world of LMT. You started at the top(there are others on the top), so now you don't need to go down any other AR manufacturer avenue, good on you! ETA: wasted the top of page 137, pic of 11.5” barrel in an MLC…  " /> |

Any of you guys also have this issues? Doesn't take much, maybe .0005 to make the difference between tight, and easy-out. Anodizing usually adds a little bit of outside dimension to the part. It'll wear in. |

I can't speak to long term first hand use but I just picked one up and it seems like a very robust mounting system, just not as sexy as MLOK. Also, while I don't personally care, it seems this batch falls in the "scratch and dent" category so if you're not into that sorta thing, avoid these uppers. |

Literally my single favorite rifle. The only thing I will be changing are the optics. I want a LPVO like a March 1-10x, NX8 1-8x, or Trijicon Credo 1-8x. Wherever I land I'll run an rmr with it (either offset or 12 o'clock on top of the optic).
Most likely it'll sit in a Badger Ordnance C1.

The March optics (especially the F model shorty) have my attention but haven't read much about them. Cheers The Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10x WAS worth taking a look at. Back when it was $1800-2000. But Vortex recently raised the price to $2500!  At that price I chose the Nightforce ATACR 1-8x @ $2700! Even before the Vortex price jump, in a comparison of these 2 optics, most folks still picked the Nightforce. Now that the prices are much closer, it isn't even a question IMHO. Here is the kicker... A local shop carries the Vortex Razor 1-10x, but not the Nightforce. And even THEY suggested I get the Nightforce over the Vortex!  |

Can you elaborate on why you think it's a "scratch and dent" upper? I just purchased one and it's perfect in every way. In fact, it's nicer than the LM8 upper that came on my MWS years ago. $500 for this upper is an incredible discount. I have ditched my several of my MLOK uppers for the LM8 uppers because I believe they are more rigid and durable. |

Yeah, about 1k for the upper and 400 for the barrel... It's actually not a horrible price given the conditions. If I didn't already have a 16" barrel or it came with a 14.5 barrel, I'd probably have grabbed one... I'm getting tired of waiting for a MLOK stripped uppers to come back in stock. |

One of the options was to have them apply they same grey stuff they apply to the inside of the upper receiver. That’s the option I chose. It’s obviously not grey so I don’t know what it is. It does seem to wipe off but haven’t tried to remove or clean it up. |
