for those not aware, LMT is having a 12 days of Christmas sale. Some pretty good deals there.
LMT's 12 Days of Christmas I am posting so everything gets sold out and I can't buy anything. |

So I have a first world problem I need help deciding on. I have 2 Specwars completed, 1 in black and 1 in FDE (rail covers, pistol grip,buis, can, rifle is not coated/black). I decided to grab some new optics and went with
FDE Nightforce nx8 1-8 FDE Aimpoint ACRO P2 Badger Ordnance C1 I ordered the C1 in tan but recieved it in black. Originally I figured I could throw it on either Specwar if/when needed (black and fde versions). When I received the black C1 I was irritated not because of the mistake just due to the fact that I wanted to get it on and mounted etc., and also I'm terrible with having the patience to send it back and wait for the correct mount to come in again. I mocked it up and honestly it doesn't look bad but I'm fairly OCD. What's your thoughts, live with the black C1 which isn't terrible at all or send it back and get the tan? TLDR- black or tan is mo betta? |

I like that more than I thought it would... But I'd still send it back for FDE.

    Maybe one of the more oddball MRP builds you’ll see, basically a GPR starting with OD KP-15 lower to bring the weight down to “average” range. MRP-L is 2 ounces lighter than the Quad, and the KP15 is about 8 ounces lighter than an LMT MARS-L lower, so the base rifle is 10 ounces off an LMT Quad rifle. This rifle weighs 8pounds - 11oz as pictured, no magazine. Noticeably lighter. ACOG TA02 w/RMR, using the KRAM 5.5 to get it back and over the offset rear, which also has a significant benefit for rolling the RMR optic to the left eye. Without the KRAM, I had to hunt for the dot a bit, but with it I roll left and it’s there. A KRAM 7.0 might work even better. Surefire M340DFT. Haven’t had much time to play with the light yet, but it’s bigger and heavier than the old M300s. Dueck offset irons. I had been moving away from irons over the last few years. However, having watched a shitload of combat footage from Ukraine, I now feel this is a mistake. IMO irons belong on a rifle, and ideally they should be immediately available without removing the optic. This means either a RDS and 12:00 irons, or ACOG and offset irons. I was skeptical, but they work. The one problem I haven’t been able to solve yet is that I like a forward sling, and the new Magpul mounts don’t play well with LMT uppers. It’s really annoying they went this direction because I had mounts that worked for me before. |

Visited some friends up at Badger today and upgraded my mounting setup along with a few other pieces. If you look close, you may see a soon-to-be released part.

I'm planning on a very similar build with a 18 inch Proof Barrel. Quick question: Can you remove the barrel with those ARCA rails installed? |

Considering two uppers:
LMT MLOK 13.5” rifle upper. Would have barrels cut down to 13.9” to have a flush suppressor. Or LMT MLOK SPECWAR upper. With barrels cut down to flush for the same look. Rifle length barrels are much easier to get them specwar barrels. At least right now. Specwar is really only saving my 2”. What would you do? And why? |

And why? What do you want to do with the gun? If your focus is entry and short range engagements or home defense I would wait for the Specwar setup to come to fruition. If you want a general purpose, do it all gun, go with the 13.9. Suppression also plays into this. If you want to suppress the gun and not run a K can, I would go with the spec war. |

And why? A normal 16" mid-length barrel for either can easily be shortened and threaded to the appropriate length to be flush with the respective upper.  |
