[SIZE=“6”]I am interested in buying a Lmt upper, but i am not sure that the one I am looking at is really a LMT. The guy who is selling it says that it was assembled and test fired by LMT, he also says that it is 1/9 twist with a wilson barrel. This is very strange because I dont recall LMt having 1/9 twist rate in their barrels. You guys will probably know more about this than i do.
That doesn’t sound right my lmt is stamped MP 5.56 NATO 1/7 CB on the barrel also lmt roll marks there upper on the left side in white lettering [ LMT ]
LMT makes stuff for several other companies. While the upper you speak of may be made in part or entirely of LMT parts, if it was the LMT commonly referred to on this board it would be 1x7 and marked as LMT. I have seen uppers like the ones you speak of listed on Gunbroker and I contacted the seller and he gave me some story about it being made by LMT for another retailer. I’d say in this case of unknown pedigree, I would caution buyer beware. And if you really want an LMT buy one that you are sure is!
10 to 1 its a M and A Parts upper as they say its test fired by LMT and made from their parts
Its probably a good upper, but not worthy of full LMT prices
+1…
There are quite a few posers out there. I found a guy trying to sell some upper receivers that he claimed were YHM, but they don’t have M4 feed ramps. Double checked with YHM and they don’t even make an upper receiver that doesn’t have M4 feed ramps.
Who can you trust?

This is the pic of the upper I was talking about. I asked him to send pics of the barrel markings and he would not send them. See if one of you guys recognize this. he claims it is factory lmt with 5.56 chamber 1/9 twist and a wilson barrel.
My m-4 upper Lmt 14.5’’ barrel
infront of the FSB it is marked MP 5.56 NATO 1/7 CB
On the left side of the upper receiver it is marked in white in large letters LMT
That upper isnt marked LMT in large white letters.
My opinion that isnt an LMT .
Is it supposed to be new?? Lmt attaches a QC card to there uppers and lowers when it leaves the factory.
BCM has said they will be getting in a lot more LMT uppers soon. I’d wait.
Remember there are many out there who are taking advantage of the current market to find buyers looking for immediate gratification and selling product that is not as advertised, overpriced or both. If you have doubts about the seller, walk away. There are too many reputable dealers who are selling the real thing at reasonable prices to go with anyone remotely shady. You may not get it right away, but when you do you will have no doubt as to the quality and origin of the product.
Fucking M1S/Nesard/Sherluk crap.
I would think that LMT uses a unique forging mark to distinguish their receivers from others. Can anyone confirm this?
Take a look you can see the LMT mark on the receiver and the yellow QC tag attached to the barrel thats exactly how mine came and looks

I recommend that you do wait [try to get on a email list]
I think they call it a birds head or something ??
But it looks like a birds head
All the LMTs I have seen were made by Cardinal Forge (marked with a stylized cardinal’s head). Cardinal Forge makes uppers for a number of manufacturers, not just LMT.
Oh hea the mighty cardinal thats right couldn’t think what it was called.
Looks like a birds head to me.
Well, a cardinal IS a bird. 
Well if he will not send you picks of the barrel markings then that should tell you something.
