Just got my SBR stamp back for a 10.5in build I am working on. Now the issue I have is I can not find a 10.5 in LMT upper. I kinda have my heart set on LMT but is there an other I should look at. I know Noveske has good stuff but is it work the more money? I kinda feel that I can put the DD Lite rail on the LMT for the price of the Noveske. Is there a place that carries LMT that you have seen a 10.5 in stock? LMT told me 6-8 weeks yesterday.

I have never used these folks, but happened to notice it while checking out the site from another thread...

It's listed as in stock.

Hope that helps.

I looked all over for an LMT upper but couldn't find one until the local gun show last weekend; bought a piston upper direct from the factory.

I would contact LMT directly...they are really responsive and if you're military you get a discount and maybe a little priority in the queue ;^)

I bought my LMT 10.5 from Bravo just before they ran out but almost bought the ADCO 10.5 which looks just about the same spec wise...Here's a link.

The one at weaponparts.com comes with a BCG, CH, and handguards it looks like.  Not a bad deal if the BCG is actually LMT.  You can see in the picture that the Firing Pin Function, Charging Handle Function, BCG Function, Extractor Function, and the Ejector Function quality control boxes are not checked, which at the least tells you that the upper didnt come complete from LMT

I already have an LMT BCG, and I talked with LMT yesterday and they gave me a 6-8 week time frame. Thanks guys, I will call Bravo and Rainier Arms Monday and see if they have any idea on a time frame.  I will keep the one at weaponsparts.com in mind though.

I know that you said that you already have a BCG, but here is a complete LMT upper from Denny.  He is a trusted site sponsor as well, and I happen to get my LMT 10.5 from him.

I can't wait for it to be here. so far I know I am getting a magpul ctr stock for it. forend rail (any suggestions) not sure if I want to keep the post front sight or go new gas bock and flip up front sight, Also not sure if I want to go EOTech or AimPoint? it will also get a a BUIS to work with either sight (suggestions agian?) Also it will eventually get a suppressor, prolly from S.A.S.S. (in town here) I guess right now I want to get the rail figured out. should I do a low profile gas block and sights such as troy flip ups front and rear, with a DD light rail 9in (to protect gas block)?  


I do have one EOTech which i am very happy with. This is going to be sort of a all out build so if it takes a while I want to do it right. Any other suggestions. I have a RR 2 stage in my lower. any other suggestions you guys can think of?

thanks.

One more question to add. I know this is a touchy question but what break in do you guys use or does LMT suggest.

Just clean and inspect before you shoot it for the first time.  Don't worry about break in.

On my LMT above i put a DD Omega 7 on it,Magpul XTM covers and love it.Bravo has those on sale for $179 too.
I just cleaned mine, it had been test fired was sorta dry and dirty, not oiled down like some uppers,
I bought the Bravo BCM BCG too, with a Spikes Tt-2T buffer she shot great and no problems yet.
