| I have an LMT Defender complete rifle (bought the upper and lower separately). I have been wanting to do a slight rebuild of the rifle in the K.I.S.S them for a while now. What I want to do is purchase a CMMG A1 upper and swap all of the LMT parts (barrel, etc) from the LMT upper to the CMMG. Having not done this before, I thought I would check with the hive as to whether this would be inadvisable? Any opinions on this? |

i wouldn't disassemble the factory LMT upper... sell it and use the money to buy a barreled CMMG A1 upper... or just keep your eye on the EE and buy a Colt detachable carry handle... i don't like the A1 uppers since they have two small hole apertures, and i always find myself wanting to have the flattop "just in case"... |
Yes but... Not really a good option because its very difficult to install a new FSB on a barrel that is already cut for one. In fact I don't know if it is other then a clamp on type. The simple solution is a shorter sight post. |
I have heard that about swithing the FSB, yet a number of people around here seem to do it, as well as barrels sold on the EE without a FSB. Thought of using a shorter sight post as well. I know that BM provides a longer one, but does anyone sell a shorter version; or do you have to have a satndard one milled down?? |
Good question on the sight post, I don't know, I've never looked. I know they make taller posts. I've installed FSB's on barrels that have not been cut for them prior as well. I used a laser to align and a mini mill to drill the holes. |
