Generally speaking what do you guys think the overall reliability of the LWRC is? I am debating buying one to demo suppressors on at my shop.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is you LWRC magazine V1? Quote HistoryQuoted: Is you LWRC magazine V1? Yes. I believe majority of the problem with the jam is due to the magazine, not the gun. In my case that is very true. |

Over 600+ rounds, not a single jam. However, I am not shooting suppressed. My smg 45 just fine.

Reached out to LWRC about magazine issue as I ordered 3 2nd Gen mags from HK Parts. They advised while they do get there mags from them, they modify the magazines in house. They swap springs, clean rough spots inside the magazine body and spray in a dry silicone. Outside of the rounds rattling when the HK Parts mags were fully loaded they appear to function normal.

Wonder if LWRC is swapping the US springs for HK springs. |

I have SN 19xx. Initial range test was flawless. 200 rounds of WWB and HST +P with no malfunctions of any kind. I lubed it up before shooting but did not clean or disassemble.
Used the two supplied V1 mags and a 15 rounder I got from HK parts. Definitely a well built gun. Still don’t know if it’s worth $3k, but a very nice piece. Recoil is noticeably less than a USC/UMP, a little more than SP5/ SP5K. |

Mine is SN 2XX
LWRC stated "The 45 could be the mags but there has been some updates in the gun itself so it would be best if we received the gun and mags for testing." It will be a week tomorrow that they have had it and the two original mags it came with. Any one have the German mags? Do the rounds rattle when fully loaded or slowly spring back up when pushed down? |

Can definitly tell the spring is stronger during loading compared to US mag. |

I’m really liking this gun, starting maybe to think it’s worth the price. Definitely better built than my new APC10. I hope they make this gun in 10mm one day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I will let you know. My German HK springs are coming. If it no longer rattles, I bet it is the good spring. So the German springs from HKparts are about an inch longer than the springs inside the US magazines. After replacement, the rattling is gone for 3 out of 4 magazines and the 4th one only rattles in even rounds (don't know why). |

HK Parts Magazine problem update.
Sent me out replacement body's and springs for the Mags. Told me to throw away the bad springs and body's. Replacement parts arrived than a day later I received a RMA label to return the old parts, so wait and see if I get charged when I was told the first time to throw away the problem springs and body's. They must still have a pallet of the older mags and are still shipping them out and hoping people don't complain. Anyway check your springs here is the difference. Spring on top is a inch shorter and could load 26 rounds, the new spring on bottom is longer and can only load 25, the spring also is at a different angle when looking in the mag window. Good spring is on the right. Also I did find a few of the older bad springs to be the same length as the newer style ones but are a brownish color where the good ones are more black/dark blue.

Got my gun back from LWRC today.
Still need to take it out for testing. One thing to note there is zero rattle with the V1 mags even when fully loaded to 25 rounds unlike the HK Parts USA made Mags. Serial number 2xx Both mags replaced with V1. One mag is well used but as long as it works. Replaced Magazine Catch/Release Replaced Barrel, Two-Piece 8.5" Replaced Front Bushing Plate Assembly Replaced Trunion Replaced Yoke Replaced Rear Lug Replaced Ejector Housing Replaced Breech Block Assembly Replaced Guide Tube Assembly Replaced Charging Handle Assembly Nothing for my troubles tho like others received. |

Just replaced the springs in my recently received USA mags with german made ones. Definitly a longer spring. BUT still rattles just as much as before. Maybe the ammo I am loading with (Speer Lawman 200GR TMJ so flat nose) had it left over so time to shoot it off. The 230 GR BALL FMJ does not seem to do it as much. German made springs I received are brownish in color.

Yea that kind of sucks for a $3k firearm. I really wanted one of these. I'd bet it has something to do with the reciprocating barrel that is held in with one screw. That shit boggled my mind. Anyway, the price tag and this review have convinced me to go another route (unless someone wants to offload their SMG 45 for cheap lol). Might just 2-stamp an AKV, whenever I find one.

*SIGH*. Anyone who says that that set screw is what’s holding the barrel in doesn’t understand how it works. The set screw is not holding the barrel in. All it does is support the rear of the barrel so it doesn’t move vertically during the recoil phase. The substantial steel collar that surrounds the rear of the barrel, and locks the barrel to the bolt, is what holds the barrel in. According to LWRC, you should never have to touch that set screw as there is no need to remove the barrel for normal cleaning or maintenance. The issue with messing with the position of the set screw is that if you tighten it too much, it puts pressure on the underside of the barrel and may prevent it from recoiling correctly. If the screw is too loose, the barrel will have some vertical play, which is bad for accuracy. It’s set from the factory for just the correct amount of contact with the underside of the barrel.

It might not literally be holding the barrel on the gun but it's certainly holding back the design of the platform. |

He said he tested 5 different SMG45, they all have the same issues. If it is the set screw, I don't think it is tighten correctly even from the factory because there is no uniform way to do it. I am going to do some test under stabilizing conditions, but I really don't want to go to my indoor range (its open but) with the COVID...However, I did some stabilized test at 25 yards, I don't remember my grouping is that bad with a tripod. |

So it does hold the barrel, it is also holding a track for the barrel except is a very shallow one (that could also be a problem). |

There is a flange at the rear of the barrel with tabs at 180 degrees. The collar has cutouts for the tabs so you can remove the collar from the barrel, but they are 90 degrees off when you have it assembled in the gun. The only was to remove that collar is to rotate it 90 degrees, and you can’t do that while the barrel and bolt are in the gun. It’s also not holding that track. That track is on the barrel extension that is attached to the barrel. Even if that screw is removed, that part with the track won’t fall off. People might want to look at this disassembly video, especially starting at around the 5 min mark, but the whole thing is worthwhile. It also talks about the screw.

I haven't notice inaccuracy, but I also haven't test it thoroughly. The most likely cause is the barrel not resetting properly each cycle, maybe a stronger recoil spring will help? |

My gun runs fine, but the accuracy is crap. I have been slow to get with LWRC about this and watching the GT video today reminded me I needed to email them. Hopefully I get a response, but I’m sure they are inundated after that video dropped. This is not acceptable for a $3k gun.
Sad, I’m a Maryland guy and bought from them to stick it to my home state by supporting someone building what they hate on their soil. |

I just picked one of these up and was very tempted to turn around and dump it...but its just so damn nice. I would imagine that if there is an issue with the design that LWRC would have to correct it for current owners. Accuracy as bad as what some are seeing can be dangerous and I would expect that if it wasn't fixed people would get together and start a class action lawsuit.

Well...I feel a bit better now. I called LWRC directly and got through no problem. I explained to the rep my concernc about the SMG 45...she transferred me to a higher up. He told me that they are aware of the info flying around the internet about the accuracy issue. He said that they believe it is an isolated incident since only a small percentage of the pistols have been returned due to the issue, but assured me that if it is found to be a bigger problem that they will make it right no matter what for all current owners. He told me to take my SMG 45 out and test it...if I have any issues at all to call him and it would be handled. They will stand behind this 100%.
I will keep mine...test it...and if any issues will give LWRC the chance to make it right. I have several of their other rifles and would put my life on all of them. I am sure that if this is an issue...It will be corrected. Just my opinion...so take it for what its worth. |

If they had a few returned for the issue I wonder what they found or fixed on them. I’m guessing they did something. Based on how it works, I’m not sure it’s a weak recoil spring issue. It won’t fire if it’s not in battery, so the barrel pretty much has to reset to work. It would seem more likely that there is something out of tolerance in that the barrel isn’t not going back to the exact same position every time. If some guns have the problem and others don’t, that suggests an out of spec part issue. Also, in my experience, they do like to be run well lubed. BTW, did anyone else notice that in the GT video he said it was threaded 1/2x28? Unless they changed something later, mine is .578x28, the common non-HK .45 cal threading. |

Interesting that they said only a small percentage have this issue or maybe that only a small percentage have been returned for it. In the GT review he states that he tested SMG's from low serial numbers to high serial numbers and they ALL had this inaccuracy. Wonder what the number needs to be before its considered a larger issue? They are amazing to speak with though, TOP NOTCH customer service.

What amazes me is that you can actually get a live person without having to be on hold for an hour that is willing to speak with you and answer questions. At this point I hope it is an isolated issue, but if GT is right and its a major problem, I have no doubt that LWRC will make it right. |

I’m just gonna day right now that one should test accuracy both resting and NOT resting on the mag. (I have a suspicion this is a possible culprit)
Also if one tests 5 guns then I want to see footage of ALL 5 guns and ALL the types of ammo. That being said when I get some time I’ll be thoroughly testing mine. PS: My 2nd theory is that there is debris on the collar blocking full seating of the barrel in an unpredictable pattern. Testing to follow. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m just gonna day right now that one should test accuracy both resting and NOT resting on the mag. (I have a suspicion this is a possible culprit) I would agree with this, would like to see it done both on and off the mag to try to isolate the issue. Would be best to run it in a lead sled and see the mechanical accuracy of the system and remove any possible shooter induced error. However, prone shooting while resting on the tall mag is a realistic scenario and how the rifle would actually be shot if shooting prone. So it is very important that it can perform in this scenario. It was a fair comparison to the JP rifle as well as the Sig MPX since he was shooting both of those with the mag as a rest as well. Very interested in what some of the owners in here report back for group sizes. I would also say that it should be minimum 5 shot group and ideally 10 shot group. This isn't a precision gun, but he also stated that it could do a nice 3 shot group but then send one crazy flier the next shot. So a larger sample size would help show the actual capabilities. |

I tested mine, at 25yard with 230gr ammo, it get 4-5 moa group with 1 constant flyer. With 180gr ammo, group is little better, about 3 moa. But there always that one round flyer makes the group larger... I did some google says HKUMP have 6moa group at 100 yard. If that's true, I am pretty disappointing with the accuracy of smg45.

Well the UMP is fixed barrel and the SMG is not, probably doesn't help with long range grouping... But that's not the intended purpose of the cartridge or gun is it? What ammo?

I can shoot that group with pistol, with SMG I think I expect a little better group.... If you have flyers, you need to contact LWRCi. Mine in the 15XX do not have flyers, but I am a bad shot  .

Quote HistoryQuoted: Doesn't matter, I am taking mine to the range and do some testing. I haven't notice inaccuracy, but I also haven't test it thoroughly. The most likely cause is the barrel not resetting properly each cycle, maybe a stronger recoil spring will help? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: That’s not at all how it works. There is a flange at the rear of the barrel with tabs at 180 degrees. The collar has cutouts for the tabs so you can remove the collar from the barrel, but they are 90 degrees off when you have it assembled in the gun. The only was to remove that collar is to rotate it 90 degrees, and you can’t do that while the barrel and bolt are in the gun. It’s also not holding that track. That track is on the barrel extension that is attached to the barrel. Even if that screw is removed, that part with the track won’t fall off. People might want to look at this disassembly video, especially starting at around the 5 min mark, but the whole thing is worthwhile. It also talks about the screw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZznVWtEmKEDoesn't matter, I am taking mine to the range and do some testing.

The Huey Outdoors guy does mention that if the screw holding the barrel is too loose, it will affect accuracy. He tightened it all the way and then loosened it about 1/4 of a turn. |
