I guess that all depends on how bad you want one. If you're wanting a piston rifle, take a look at the POF rifles. Their piston system is much more simplified and better than the LWRC.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
Depends. I definitely think they are. 2400 is a bit steep though.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I have three and would not hesitate to buy another if I wanted it. All are great shooters and I have never had a problem with any of them.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
Hey chainring what model acog you running? How does it compare to the 1-4x24 you had on there previously.
To th OP, I have a m6a5, and I have no complaints. Yes there are other cheaper ar's that are just as good, but if you add the cost of a cerakote job, spiral fluted barrel, good trigger, and back up iron sights which come standard on lwrc rifles, IMO that makes them worth the extra money.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
i had an m6a2, i didnt care for it. it was my first piston ar. it sucks with the way the piston assembly is accessed. i didnt get the warm fuzzies with having to remove two screw and pop off the top of my rail system/handguard to get at it. that, and the damn screws walked themselves out/loose all the time. I went to pof. I would honestly choose them hands down over an lwrc anytime. just my opinion. i have had pof's in 5.56 and 308. loved em all. for some reason, i sold them all. Why? I am not sure. went back to direct impingement. not really sure how i went full circle. but i have a terrible buy, shoot, sell habit. i have also had an adams arms a.r. i would take that over the m6a2 i had as well from lwrc.
im starting to ramble.
the short of it is, there piston access sucks a giant moose cock.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
Got an M6A2 and use it for my work rifle.....great gun, never once had an issue with it. Also have a LMT MRP piston, love that one too. The LMT did not like soft reloads tho. They prefer full strength loads.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I love the LWRC platform. Runs like a top, suppressed or unsuppressed, and is plenty accurate for a carbine. I run an M6 SPR Mod 0 (fluted barrel) with a Geissele trigger. Awesome gun, don't foresee getting another AR any time soon.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I have a 16" REPR, I have replaced a bunch of parts from the factory to my liking. I have only took the gun out 2x so far and the first time I had problems every 3rd ish round fired. I was firing reloads from a Hide vendor and the 2nd time I went out I fired strictly Winchester factory ammo. Only had 4 maybe 5 problems out of the 60rds fired this time. But overall so far I am really pleased with it and wouldn't mind getting one in 6.8 in the future.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
Killzone45, I appreciate the fact that you pointed out that you have modified the REPR from it's factory configuration before stating that it was malfunctioning. I look forward to hearing your results once you have the factory buffer and spring in it - hopefully you'll have that early next week. Keep us informed.
Bribri, the Acog is a TA33G-H (green horseshoe dot) and I like it. I've always liked the TA33 acog. I moved the TR24 up to the REPR when I got it, and added this one to the SPR. The green horseshoe dot is much brighter and more precise than the original red chevron that I had. Very pleased with it, and had good results out to 400 recently.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I have an M6A2 in both 5.56 and 6.8 and really like them. They are extremely reliable. Neither has any feeding issues. I have gotten into the POF thing (a 5.56 and a 308) and like them too. Yes, the piston system is much more simple but I have not had near the same round count at this time. They are more accurate than the LWRCs from my experience. Quite a bit of difference actually. Both POFs are tack drivers. The barrels are excellent and the guns cost less. I don't think that I have a definative answer at this time for reliability...just the accuracy.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I am glad this was posted...I was looking into an 18" REPR. After reading many reviews, it appears the majority of folks say it is a nice rifle, but for 3500, you can do much better. One gentleman (Patrick Sweeney of G&A fame) could only get a 1 moa grouping out of it with Hornady match ammo; he said the rest of the ammo he used gave him around 2.5 moa. I know that it could obviously be the shooter too, but I haven't read anything that shouts "you need the REPR, now!"
I guess I was expecting more from such a pricey rifle. They look great. I don't know if my expectations are so high after shooting so much bolt gun, but for something labeled "Rapid Engagement PRECISION Rifle," I would think it could do better...
Anyone else with a different experience?
BTW - I fondle the M6A2 every other night at my part-time job...they are absolutely perfect! I love the trim rail on the fore end, and the balance is outstanding!

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I have a LWRC M6A2 as well as a POF. Hands down my LWRC is much better. Better fit and finish, more accurate, etc. My POF had several malfunction issues, but after 2 years I finally got it working, but since then have lost all faith in the POF platform. For LWRC, you pay for the reliability, reputation, and longterm company stability.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I have a POF 415 and have never had an issue with it. Accurate and eats anything I feed it. Don't care for the LWRC but only because of the piston system they used. Very early LWRC's had some problems but newer ones made under new management seem to be reliable.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I went full circle as well with a M6a2. Was a great gun and reliable gun, but the piston components were heavy up front. I would recommend one if you're stuck on having a piston. Feed everything i threw at it.
And it was a dream to shoot suppressed without blowback
No way I'd pay 2400 though, you could have just about any AR you'd want at that price point.... and an LWRC wouldn't be it for me. JMHO though.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I think one of the main issues with LWRC is to know exactly what you want before you buy. If I wanted a precision 308 gasser, I wouldn't look at a REPR. A GAP-10 is a more accurate gun, a bit less expensive, and you get every feature you want since it's a custom build. The only feature on the REPR that's worth a damn is the side charging handle.
Now, if you're looking for an AR-15, that's a whole new ball game. I got my hands on a .gov LWRC in Afghanistan and was jonesing for one until I found the right deal. They're well made and accurate; I got mine for $2200 out the door. You'll find a good deal if you look hard enough, or just keep an eye out on the for sale section. They come up for sale once in a while.
The one thing I like about LWRC over POF is that it seemed lighter and handier, especially with the fluted barrel and modifiable rail system. Much closer to my idea of a battle carbine than the POF, though POF does make a great rifle so long as it works out of the box. There are nightmarish stories on this board about CS issues. I doubt you'll go wrong either way.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
A buddy of mine has one, and brand new it would jam on every other round. Long story short he returned it to LWRC, and they said that the bolt was out of spec, so they replaced it. So far so good now. I feel that they are alot of money for proprietary parts.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I run two M6A3s, which are now discontinued. Damn reliable and accurate. I paid about $2,300 for each, but this was soon after the 2008 election craze.
I'd say they're worth it for about $1,800 to $2,100. $2,400 is a little steep.
You get a lot of neat features though, to include the spiral fluting, the nitrided barrel, the Nickel Boron coated BCG, and Nickel Coated FCG.

All that is proprietary is the gas block, piston system, and carrier.....which is true of pretty much every piston system that I've seen.
With the exception of a new spring or cup once in a blue moon, you aren't likely to need to access or service any of those parts, much less have spares. We've got two SPRs and an SL going right now, along with the REPR. The only problems I had were when I ran a can and forgot to switch the REPR gas block to suppressed, or vice versa! All of them, including the 14.5 M6A3, the 12.5 M6A3 and the 16 inch M6A2 that I've had in the past, were Swiss watches. Planning to pick up a 14.5 SPR upper as soon as I can build the fund...

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I bought a LWRC Repr Mjolnir. A special run gun with a 14.5 in spiral fluted barrel with Surefire flash hider perm attatched. With Federal Gold Medal Match 168 gr I was able to get 3/4 in 5 shot groups with sand bagged front and back. I may be new to the forum but I was very pleased with the accuracy. I first tried some HMC 168 gr stuff that kept stove piping on me but once I went to Federal I have had no problems. My rifle also has the new gas system with only 2 settings like the M6IC has. I have heard of guys getting .5 to 3/4 in groups with the 20 in barrel. It all depends on the ammo. I also fired some South African stuff with good results but definately not match ammo.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I got two RRA for less money than that. One is an operator and the other is a Varmint A4.
I don't think a LWRC will out perform either by that much.
But if it's worth it to YOU then you should get one.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?
I can't wait till I get to handle my 12.5 inch REPR. Ordered it months ago and it is sitting at the gunshop awaiting me to return from overseas and do paperwork on her. Great thing is my shop hosts the local carbine matches so I can shoot her in the matches while I wait on my stamp. Only reason I went with the REPR shorty is I love the 308 and wanted a fun fast carbine that I could run suppressed without getting a face full of carbon and soot. If I had to pick one side or the other I think they are overpriced but at the time and still now they fit what I wanted.

I just sold my Colt SP1, which means I don't have any named brand AR-15's. I did keep 2 AR's which meticulously built. One has a WOA match 16" barrel and the other has a 20" LW Var/Match barrel. Both sport Mega uppers with NM BC's and matched bolts. Triggers are set to 3 1/2 lbs and barrels are FF. Superb accuracy and 100 percent reliability with DI gas systems. No complaints here and save lots of $.
They way I see it is if you buy a branded AR carbine/rifle just the way you want it and never change, that's cool. But if you decide to make changes down the road it gets really expensive - overall.
What the hell do I know... I an more than satisfied with my Armalite AR-10A4 FF rifle that shoots bug holes. Then again, I won't wear a Harley T-shirt with a dealers name on it.

Maybe off topic slightly, but the title of the post got to me.
I Just saw a used REPR with a trijicon 5-25 going for $7500.00 at the LGS. Did have a nice stoney point bipod included...
This is just madness!
