Im new to the LMT game is the quad war just cut down full length quad upper?
I noticed that D. Wilson is offering an adjustable gas block conversion. I was wondering if anyone has done this conversion on a MWS barrel and how they like it? Im thinking about sending my MWS barrel in for the conversion. |

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. “Quadwar” is a made up funny word for a full length chop to more neatly accommodate a 12.5 barrel than a CQB upper.

Any news from Shot Show 2023 regarding LMT?
So far I have not found anything new on the interwebs. |

yes! lol. they are way too proud about them. im still regretting my choice of first suppressor i still haven't gotten yet the sandman k, instead of the surefire, but theirs just look so heavy.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hox: This is actually a stellar idea. Is that a standard AR lower with endomag internals in the magazine? I'd love to be able to do what you did with the upper, but run a lower that takes CZ scorpion mags. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hox: Originally Posted By jtdam24: I agree with this.

It runs very well and is surprisingly very quiet.

Going to try the plx-c for a bit. Been trying to nail down a good optic/cheek riser height combo
1.93? 1.7? .25 riser .50 riser? Ugh Currently setup with a 1.7 height and a .5 cheek riser

I've pretty much decided against the NX8, which is what I really wanted originally, but the reviews on that are all over the place. I had a TR24 but didn't care for it during low light situations with a WML. My priority would be 0-100 yards and usage with a WML. I'm not looking for something that optimizes performance from the pench/prone. |

I’m debating going back to using my 16” ss barrel. These utilize a 1:7.5 twist rate. Does anyone know what advantage this twist rate is going to give me over my other barrels at distance? My 14.5 hodge and triarc converted barrels both have similar accuracy and velocity so it doesn’t feel like it makes sense to run the ss barrel since it is much heavier. However maybe the 1:7.5 twist will stabilize 77gr better at distance and group better around 5-600 yards? Anyone knowledgeable on this subject?
EDIT: Just got off the phone with Joe from LMT. Learned A LOT. The 1:7.5 twist was geared towards bridging the gap between. Heavier and lighter weighted bullets. Also the stainless barrels are nitrited, which means you can beat the crap out of them. He said guys were putting 12k rounds a year on them and still getting 1-1.25 moa groups out of them. The ones with the 7.5 twist are also made from Rock blanks where as the newer 1:7 stainless barrels are not. I asked about the risks of getting the barrel reprofiled, and he said it shouldn’t affect accuracy at all since the cryogenic treatment process is done from the beginning before the barrel is cut. In addition, the “halo” cut that can be done to mlr/mlc chassis due to tolerance stacking are now standard features in newly made uppers. |

Ended up cleaning and doing some housekeeping on my gun safes yesterday. Sometimes I even forget what I have. I should of taken a group picture but failed to do so with the time constraints I was under.
Anyhow I realized I have 13 MRP uppers in various configurations including my newest which is another SPECWAR. Now I have one in black and one with FDE components (rail covers, buis, optic, suppressor, etc.). This is definitely a sickness! I'm thinking of going with a NF NX8 in either black or FDE for one of the SPECWAR's but I'm going back and forth on the color of the optic. The black SPECWAR currently wears a MRO with a green dot and the FDE SPECWAR is sporting a Trijicon TA31ECOS RMR in FDE. One is wearing a Rugged Surge and the other a Surefire SOCOM 762 Mini. Love the MRP ecosystem. |

More goodies on the way for this one. Going to try the Railscales RSB/P. I love the normal RSB but you can't find them anywhere. It'll be better when the Surefire SFMB gets here so I can throw the SOCOM on it as well.

Still have a couple finishing touches left to do and I'd like to end up with a FDE NF NX8 or other LPVO on it. But it's good for now. As much as I love fde I think I like my black specwar a little better.

Brethren with LMT H. I know you are all biased by the superiority of the LMT. I know the monolithic rail advantage is forward mounting optics and holding a laser zero, and quick barrel changes. I’m a thermal guy myself (soon). Is the LMT that much more worth it than doing say an aero M5 build? We’re talking going from 1k to 3-4K with different barrels for the LMT 13.5 LW 7.62 and a 20 steel 7.62. I like the idea of the versatility. What say yee?

If the logistics requirements don't bother you then the utility is worth it. With most thermal weapon sights, they sit on the top rail of the receiver. If you're going to be using a clip on setup then perhaps the MRP platform can help you as its exceptionally rigid. LMT makes a nice gun but its not magic. There are a few instances where they excel but they're not really quantifiably better than their competitors. |

It was catastrophic failure to the bolt carrier and firing pin as well as hand guard screws coming loose. I think you get what you pay for and you’d be hard pressed to find something that does all the things as well as an lmt mws does at a fraction of the cost. You’ll have a big trade off somewhere |
