| I am looking to start a tactical build and I have heard a ton of good things about LMT. I am looking to buy the lower now but I can't seem to find stripped LMT lowers is there a reason for this? One more question why LMT over rra,stag,cmmg? Thanks |
|
LMT doesn't sell stripped lowers. They do sell complete lowers. Lauer Custom Weaponry's lowers are supposedly made by LMT and can be had stripped. Why LMT? Honestly I'm not as picky about lowers as I am uppers. For uppers, I do think LMT makes one of the best offerings. Lowers are all pretty much the same unless you find something out of spec or care a lot about the finish. I've had bad luck with RRA but most of their customers are happy. |

A lower is a lower is a lower, as long it is quality made who cares whose names on it. The LMT upper is where the real quality of LMT products shine, IMO. Save yourself a few bucks, buy a DPMS, Bushmaster, Stag, Doublestar or RRA lower and place an LMT upper on it..... mike |
I agree with Mr Wilson. My go to gun I have is a LMT upper with a Global Tactical Lower. It has been my most reliable AR. |
|
Why LMT? The don't cut some of the corners other manufacturers do. Here is why I chose LMT: LMT Review No regrets and would definately buy LMT again. |
I like your math MV'! I'll have to use that "formula" when I give my Wife the next sales pitch on why I need another AR!

 Go LMT all the way, here's my upper, lower, BUIS, CH with LMT M16 BCG Some other brands includes commercial type larger outer diameter buffer tubes and later on if you decide to upgrade to a better stock, for example the LMT SOPMOD which have a smaller diameter opening, you'll have to replace your commercial size buffer tube with a Mil-spec size smaller diameter tube so it would fit. |
I have an LMT upper on a GTS lower right now but I am thinking about getting an LMT lower to replace it and use the GTS lower on something else. Not that the GTS lower is not any good, as I have several GTS builds and think they are all great, I just would like to have one rifle that is not a mutt build for once  After you figure all you get with the LMT lower it is really a pretty good deal.

Any forged lower as long as it is machined to the correct dimensions will do. However LMT means you are more likely to get it done correct the first time, and not have mag fitment issues, et cetera. Not saying you will with others but there is a reason they are a DOD supplier and other companies are not. The two stage with sopmod is a great deal, you'll get a correctly put together complete lower, and also save some cash at the same time. |

LAUER CUSTOM WEAPONRY Lowers are now made by Superior however there are still some of the LMT made lowers about. I know for a fact that Cold War Shooters has the LCW LMT lowers. Talk to Hector or Michelle the'll take good care of you or see www.coldwarshooters.net |
The LMT Gen II carbine stock is also the best made Gen II stock out there IMO. The one I had locked up just as tight as my SOPMOD and CTR... |
Have a LMT LCW lower in a B.B.T. right now! Their web site has both LMT and Superior marked as LCW. |
I looked at it the same way. Its Not a bad deal at all. And LMT would probably warranty it. |
