guilliam Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I like! With it's 16" CL it out shoots my M1A. I'm still thinking about getting a 18 inch CL barrel. For now I'm a happy camper. I contacted LMT about the 'born date' (they were prompt and courteous) born July 2013. So that means it's a 2nd generation 'slick side' (I guess). One thing for sure, it's not easy web-searching information on these rifles. We LMT fans are a small group. Anyone put an A2 stock on one? Thanks.

unforgiven Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 You got yourself a damn nice rifle brother. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilliam Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thank you! It's a real lot of fun. That is a ChimCom optic in the first photo, time will tell if it holds up under 308 recoil. Anyone have a sling preference? Adjustable two point? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Nice Rifle . The 18" Barrel isn't going to do much more for you , the 16" will work just fine. Some like a single point some like a two point , I have both , but more two point . Depends on what conditions you are using the rifle for. An A2 stock will require a new Receiver Extension, Buffer & Spring , but I'm not really sure if they use the Armalite system or DPMS or their own , others may know here.

unforgiven Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 One of the guy's here makes slings Beachin Tac.up on the heading,I am also a big fan of the Vtac padded slings. ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Nice gun for sure. Like unforgiven said, beachin slings are really nice. Totally adjustable, comfortable, and loaded with 550 cord should the need ever arise. I have 2, and love them. Several of us run them. I'll take a comfy 2pt over any other sling configuration. I run A1 stocks on most of my ARs. Like them a lot. Nice and smooth. I've got a spare A2 stock and tube sitting here if you decide to swap. I may be off, but I think the mws comes from the factory with a longer than normal buffer tube and a standard AR15 carbine heavy buffer. Swapping it to a A2 stock would just require the rifle tube and a 308 buffer/spring. Edited July 24, 2015 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Anyone put an A2 stock on one? Thanks. Brother, you have a reliable gas system on that weapon and one of the best stocks out there. I would seriously weigh the benefits of having an A2 vs what you have before changing. One of my duty SASS has an A2 I keep begging for the armorers to consider swapping it to a collapsible stock. Body armor, winter clothing, etc make the collapsible a much better choice...in this man's opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilliam Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Stain, I have never been a fan of adjustable stocks....but I'm warming up to this one. I think LMT put a lot of thought into this weapon and I'm liking it more every day. A 18 inch barrel may still be in the future....but the dam 16 inch does shoot! Thanks all.

unforgiven Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I am also a fan of collapseable stocks,Coat no coat,different sized people.Flexible way to run the rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always get an 18 inch when you wear that one out. <laughs> The 16 inch will certainly grow on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilliam Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I finally rec'd the 20 inch CL barrel this afternoon.Will do some informal shooting Saturday AM, no paper punching (I'm still waiting on a better scope).The extra four inches and weight is, for me a non issue.Changing barrels was a snap.Going to be a fun weekend!gill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilliam Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Obtained a 20 inch CL, and will do some range work this week-end.Overall balance is very good. For now I'm saving for a decent scope and having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
