Chainring, what can are you running? Considering one for my SPR. </div></div>

What rail is that a newer LWRC rail or aftermarket? Thanks.

Re: lwrc worth the money ?

I asked him the same question.

They are knights armament panels, and he had to do a little tweaking to make them work.

Have you heard when lwrc is going to release theirs, I saw them on youtube video from SHOT show.

Which grip is that?

Re: lwrc worth the money ?

I have the 14.7 inch apr and I love that gun. It is way nicer than the M&P 15T I sold to fund the purchase. It's the nicest AR I've had my hands on so far. It shoots great and I love the piston system. I only wish it had an adjustable gas block on it and that's about it. Mine was 2325.00 at cypress armory the day of the sandy hook shooting. Have seen them selling for 4k to 6k on gun broker since then.

I've got a LaRue PredatAR 5.56 on order so if I ever get it we'll see how it compares.

Just picked up an LWRC M6A2 two days ago and shot it yesterday for the first time. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a good group for this gun? My load is straight out of the Sierra manual for most accurate load. The group was shot off a bipod from the bench at 100 yds with at 4X. Temp 40 degrees F and maybe a little windy but the range is pretty well protected.

Load data:
69gr SMK
LC Mil brass
CCI 450
25.3 gr Varget

For what it's worth, someone posted awhile back in regards to their LWRC R.E.P.R. and when they called the LWRC shop, they were told that 1.25 moa is considered to be accurate. Call them and ask what they consider to be 'acceptable' accuracy for your rifle.

M6a3

Not goint to quibble over group sizes, that's up to the operator. The benefit I sought out with the M6A3 is the 4 way adjustable gas system, especially if you have a suppressor. Every scenario is covered with the M6A3. Normal, Adverse, Closed, Suppressed.

 

[Sgt. 0811]

you guys are assholes why couldn't you have said it is a piece of crap maybe a paperweight at best

i bought one today

Lmao! Good line. I know how you feel, I just bought one too.

Just because the manual says that the load above is the "accurate load" doesn't mean it's accurate in your rifle. You need to do your own load development and find the right node for that gun. Each gun is different and frankly, not a single one of my sweetheart loads for my rifles is the "accurate load" detailed in a reloading manual.

 

[odonnks]

+ 1 with what ZLBubba said.

I have a M2A6 SPR that after doing the barrel break-in routine did the 5 shot groups below. Who knows if the break-in routine really works but it doesn't take long so I see it as a safe bet.
Are you shooting off a bag or some other support?
If not there are more variables to consider.
I always see what the gun can do without me trying to support it. That way I know what I detract from the gun by supporting it on my own.
Also, I only had one of a few different loads that shot this well.
I do like the LWRC rifles.

I know, yo are right of course. I just picked that load to start out with to see what she can do. I only had it two days when I shot this. I plan to do a OCW workup soon. I'll post the results.

 

[Rigamortous]

I think LWRC has some very nice machine work and are very accurate rifles, well worth the money

 

[ZLBubba]

Once you find your sweetheart load, I bet you'll see better results. In all honesty though, My LWRC experience is that the 5.56 models shoot better than the REPR. I've found quite a few loads that shoot MOA and a few that shoot even better. That's way better than any M4 I ever took downrange, so that's good enough for me.

 

[nexusfire]

personally I have done the piston thing and I went back to all DI guns. They work just fine and don't use proprietary parts. I look at most AR's as shit hit the fan guns.

I agree with your comment on shtf. That's the original reason why I bought a Bushmaster which was my first AR. Now that I have the LWRC though, I think I'll put the Bushmaster up for sale. I think the proprietary part issue can be solved if you order an extra parts kit from LWRC. I think the parts are reasonably priced. For the most part, I think LWRC is very well made and I don't really see a weak spot in the design. There is no worrying about staking of the keyway on the bolt and the piston system is amazingly simple. And by directing all the hot gases out the front of the gun it keeps the bolt area clean and cool helping it last even longer. Cleaning the gun is ten times faster and easier than a DI gun. The reason I upgraded to LWRC is accuracy primarily. I wasn't satisfied with shooting 2-3 MOA. I thought about other well made DI guns but once I held the LWRC and saw the craftsmanship I was sold.

 

[p8nt]

I like mine. It's reliable, accurate and quite frankly is as tough as nails.

 

[pahker]

specifically the m6a2 spr the prices i have seen are 2400 on up are these really worth that much dough?

Paid $2250.00 for my M6A2 in 2004...had a few problems with gas block cracking, but LWRC customer service was/is outstanding. It's running great!

Semper Fi

 

[secondstoryguy]

LWRC's quality and design leaves a lot to be desired and their customer service blows chunks. But anything you can get AR related these days for a reasonable price is worth it.

 

[HillbillyfromAL]

^^^Thanks for the wonderful contribution


I bought my M6A2 the day after the SHTF. I had been saving up hoping they would put out a Piston .300BLK but decided I'll wait with one in hand.

I cleaned it, dry lubed it, slapped my ACOG on it and put 300 rds though it in two range trips with no other lube just wiping the dirt and carbon off of it. No failures of any kind whatsoever. I'm very happy with it.

As for all those DI hardcores I'll just say that other a broken bolt and gas key, I've had 4 ruptured tubes and in Basic/AIT I had a single shot M16 till the last couple weeks due to a plugged tube. I'll never buy anything DI with my money, and I do know they run fine if properly maintained. All the problems were with loaner rifles. But I've got better things to do than waste time cleaning the carbon goo of a bolt carrier. Just my 2¢

 

[jevan126]

I shot a REPR, first off I thought the rifle was a little to heavy. But the main reason I did not like it was it kept having malfunctions. Started with a few ejecting problems, then it had some feeding issues. Also one thing I really did not like was it was not as accurate as I would have hoped for. This also was an EARLIER REPR model so mabey those issues were worked out. Not knocking LWRC by no means, just saying that the rifle I shot was not worth what my friend paid for it.
