I stopped at my local firearm store today and the owners son said I have something to show you.
Then out comes a brand new LM&T M4 5.56 Carbine. He had ordered a slew of them and also some uppers and lowers but because of large military contracts this one rifle got shipped today. It was built June 12th of this year.
Well I had this Kimber TAC II I just never seemed to shoot so I went home and returned quickly and traded it off toward the LM&T Carbine.
Took it home cleaned and oiled installed my ACOG TA11F and now can’t wait to get it fired.
Congratulations on your new LMT. You will not regret your purchase. I get really happy when any of you guys get a new toy, especially of such high quality.
I’m excited for you. My 14.5" LMT upper came in today, and I have a Vortex waiting to be perm. installed. LMTs rock, my old upper was quite accurate and perfectly reliable with good mags.
I took it down and it looks really nice all maching is quality fit and finish and color all quality the SOPMOD stock is super tight not any play. Bolt&Carrier quality LM&T staking of carrier key bolts are deep and correct. Fire control Assy is great. I have been a big fan of LM&T for years. Just could not find them around here at a fair price before.:rolleyes:
Since you asked in another thread, the only real “issue” I’ve seen with some LMT carbines is that since they use a smaller gas port, they run best with higher pressure military grade ammo.
What was his asking price? There have been quite a few people posting damn good prices, and at retail gun shops no less, on these things in the last few months.
Well we are all lucky the shop I bought mine from ordered a bunch of LM&T rifles back in October of 2007, along with some uppers and lowers this one M4 rifle is all that arived yesterday at his store.:rolleyes:
Well that sucks. I lucked out because I bought mine from a rather shady shop here which normally deals in OLY and DPMS. The owner got the LMT on a trade (un-fired) and it had been sitting in the back for 6 months. He literally didn’t know what he had and sold it for $1100 (his normal price for an OLY 16" carbine is $1050 :rolleyes: and this is also the guy selling Wolf Black box for $9.99 a box and LC XM193 for $24.99 a box! ).
I really feel lucky my local shop even allowed my trade in of the Kimber Tac II there was nothing but some holster wear and it always shoot great with never any problems.
But it was one of the Kimbers with an external extractor and they got bad mouthed so much for extraction problems Kimber went back to the old style of the internal extractors.
Myself I would not have taken it in on a trade because of this item. But it did not seem to bother them and they are Master Kimber Dealers so they know all the details.
