I’ll admit, I saw this break on TOS. Interesting info though…
LMT CQB GAS PISTON OPERATED
This is the next step in evolution for the AR/M4/M16 series of carbines and rifles. Building off of an already proven US Military tried and tested platform: LMT has taken their CQB MRP design from good to Gas Piston Driven Great! Here are some features that we have seen from our own and customer experience.
1.) Runs cooler than standard direct gas impingement systems.
2.) Runs cleaner than the direct gas impingement systems.
3.) Efficiency of operation enables operator to use a much greater variation of ammunition. You are no longer stuck if all you have available is poor manufactured ammunition.
4.) LMT has managed to maintain the accuracy of the system due to improved piston operating design.
5.) Bolt carrier is machined from ONE PIECE for ultimate in strength and reliability.
6.) LMT uses a proprietary lube that is smoother on the surface and requires less lubrication than others.
7.) Assembly and Dis-assembly are very easy with this system to make access in the field very quick.
8.) Barrel is free floated inside the ONE PIECE MACHINED FROM BILLET upper receiver for maximum accuracy and strength.
9.) All LMT bolts are mag particle inspected and proof tested. They are one of only a couple manufacturers that do this.
10.) All LMT Barrels are machine gun rated barrels for greater life.
11.) All LMT Barrels are also proof tested and mag particle inspected.
12.) This system is also Multi barrel length and Multi caliber by quickly loosening 2 very strong bolts and switching to desired barrel length for specific missions. This takes at most 2 minutes. To switch caliber and barrel length: Simply switch bolt, magazine and barrel. You can go from a 12 inch barreled 5.56mm CQB carbine to a 16 inch 6.8 SPC designated Marksmen Rifle in minutes.
13.) LMT upper receivers are numbered in white with a unique paint so that you can see and identify them positively in the dark with Night Vision on.
14.) All LMT upper receivers are dry film lubed.
These are just a few of the features of this system. Please contact us for more information.
LMT seems to have all the tools in place to take some of the sheen off the 416. I am very excited about this product. Being multi caliber and QD barrel is a big bonus that puts this system in FN SCAR territory in terms of features.
When my work load decreases I will have to call LMT & get a couple to flog.
Anybody here T&E’ing these presently?
I like the enhanced features on the carrier. No bulge on the end of the carrier has me curious about possible carrier tilt issues. New bolt, ATB same material as LMT’s enhanced bolt (lobster extractor?) or standard configuration backwords compatable AR bolt?
Being able to disassemble gas system from the front w/o affecting accessories is nice.
