But I'm glad LMT has finally gotten the recognition and following they deserve. It wasn’t even 3 years ago I sold off 3 barrels to fund another gun project. One of them was a almost new 10.5” barrel that sat in the EE for almost three weeks at $300 because others had used ones for $250 on there. I sold a NZ barrel then that cost me $200 on a LMT overrun sale. Brand new in the plastic sleeve, never mounted. I sold it for $400 and felt real good doubling my money, until I watched others sell theirs for $750+ this past year. Damn. |

I assume there are other people using the LMT front flip up sight here.
I notice that I can move the front sight structure (the part with the ears, not the mounting base or the little adjustable post) side to side with my hand. There doesn’t seem to be any spring tension or the such that recenters it after you move it around. Anyone else have that experience? |

In the deployed position, side to side movement is very minimal. At the very least a mm of play.

Only used a friend’s ATACR 1-8 and it’s heads and shoulders above my NX8 1-8, so I’m guessing a similar mag to my 4-32 NX8 would be the same(?), not certain but that would be my guess. Hope to someday put my big boy pants on and step up to the ATACR line. |

On the KAC covers: I am assuming it's the tan ones that match and not their FDE? Also, what modification is needed for them to fit MLOK? Thanks again! Magpul FDE is quite a bit lighter than the LMT tan. The KAC color I use is the Taupe variant. KAC also offers their own FDE and Tan, but their Taupe color is the closest to the LMT stocks. Regarding the URX panels, it's pretty simple. You need to angle out the underside so that it fits the LMT MLOK handguard profile. I just used a Dremel and some sandpaper for this. I even used the included URX hardware on the backside of the LMT handguard, as they actually fit the internal channel really well. Couple of downsides... 1) You can't remove the barrel as it won't clear the hardware on the inside. 2) You have the fish the KAC square bolts in from the front or a neighboring MLOK slot. Once you get the hang of doing one, the rest are pretty simple. The KAC vert grip was modified by forum member @white-rhyno. I asked him if he's thought about offering MLOK cut URX panels, but they're not in his current plans (wink wink). I know I'd buy some if he offered to cut those to fit. A blend of KAC Taupe, Magpul FDE and Ergo Tan...  Attached FileModified profile of URX panels vs. stock URX panels...

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bad_company2: How often should the piston be cleaned and is this a real issue with the selected muzzle brake? No, its not that big of an issue. I don't clean my pistons, I simply replace the rings when they fail, if they fail and if they have piston rings lol. I never clean the rings on my MPX's and those see thousands of dirty ass suppressed rounds. When the rings give out, I change they, just like I would on an AR15. I just think its a stupid design because in order to maintain that piston, you have to remove some muzzle devices. I wouldn't be able to pin and weld a griffin plan a device onto a 14.5 inch LMT Piston device. LMT doesn't really give a crap because this isnt an issue for their primary end user, ie foreign militaries. |
