New to the forums dont care much for Colt and I’m leaning towards LMT M4,opinions, links and comments welcome.
Thank you
If you’re anything like I am, you’ll likely find that once you ask a question like that, you’re already hooked. A little exploration on the Web will bury you in information that could take years to dig out from. The likelyhood of going ‘wrong’ with LMT is about as hard as finding one.
You can’t go wrong with an LMT. Look in the “Knowledge Base threads” sticky at the top and read the "Comparision Chart of AR brands (read the whole thread) and that will help you make a more informed decision.
I’m very satisfied with my LMT 16" carbine…very satisfied…
They also have a lifetime warranty, and I think there are a couple of ways to get an LMT for just under $1K…
LMT are GTG.
VERY satisfied with MRP CQB gas Piston gun.
VERY satisfied with MRP CQB DI gun w 18 and 16 inch BBLs
VERT Satisfied with my M-4 Upper…
Basically, LMT is the real deal milspec, machine gun grade barrels, 1:7 twist – MRPs have quickly interchangable barels even I can’t screw up. Gas piston WORKS.
$1056 shipped. Ordered complete upper and complete lower from the same dealer at the same time this past Feb. (add on’s cost extra:D)
Smooth, slick, reliable, accurate in comparison to the 16 different BM’s I’ve had including my wife’s current BM M4. The BM has performed fine but the LMT has a much smoother action and much better trigger.
There’s Colt and LMT.
everything else.
You won’t go wrong buying either one. And since you have rejected Colt, that leaves LMT as your best choice. And not a bad choice at all.
Thanks you guys for your responses so far ,while I have your attention are anti walking pins,take down and pivot pin from KNS a good investment or overkill.
KNS anti-walk / anti-spin FCG pins = yes, no or maybe depending who you ask. on a factory built lower, i would not install them, unless i had some problem with pins walking or i installed an aftermarket captive trigger
aftermarket pivot / takedown pins = no. not a good investment. they might do more damage than good. skip 'em.
you’re on the right track with LMT, don’t start getting all goofy on us now.
IMO, anti-walk pins aren’t needed on quality semi-auto AR’s like the LMT. Although I’m sure someone, somewhere, has had a need for them because of use or abuse.
So far as the take down pins, eh, why? If you had a nervous “tick” and were constantly manipulating them, then yeah, maybe. But normal wear and tear…? Just my dos centavos.
For the most part, they are a solution for a problem that most folks will never experience. If your pins are coming out, there are other issues.
I pulled the trigger on the LMT upper and lower from Bravo Co. now comes the waiting,Ive always been an AK advocate and own a Bulgarian slr-95reliability being paramount, but I factored in future parts/ammo availability ,accesories,ergonomics etc. and the AR seems to have the edge afterall this will be my go to SHTF /Zombie rifle.
Good for you. Now get rid of that commie stuff… 
I’ve owned at least five LMT’s from 10.5’s-16" M4’s.
Everyone of them was perfect.
I would never hesitate to buy an LMT.
I personally own 5 (2X 10.5", 2X 14.5", 1X 16") LMT’s now and have NEVER had a problem with them. As for quality, I think they’re every bit as good as Colt, if not better, but although I own a few Colts, I’m not super impressed with them. But I also own Noveskes and Larue Stealth AR’s that are phenomenal…probably better than LMT. But I don’t think you could wrong with an LMT.
I have 2 LMT 2-Stage/SOPMOD lowers, both are beautiful. I have 2 16" uppers coming from G&R, I can’t wait.
Like someone said, Colt & LMT are on par and both companies make a badass AR.
You will love it, if you can find one!
Where did you find these? Unless I’m missing something, I cannot find lowers at http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/.
Thanks,
Shawn
My LMT lower looks and feels beautiful.
Buy now.
Shawn I was able to get through the phone after dialing repeatedly for about 30 minutes.
Cheers
While I’ve never had an LMT rifle, I have used their BCGs. Last night I had a gun apart and discovered that its LMT bolt will allow being assembled with the cam pin inserted on the wrong side. That would seem to be a manufacturing or QC failure, and certainly not what I’d expected from what’s supposed to be a top tier producer.
