    Which dies for 6.8?

    I have a Noveske 16" Recon in 6.8. As much as some will laugh I'm using a set of Lee dies and I have no problem getting Sub MOA out to 300 yards with it. Beyond that I've never tried much for groups just work on banging steel. A 12" plate poses no problem at 500-600 yards. I've mainly been...

    Any suggestions for lefty offset iron sights

    I'm running a set of the Knights Flip up 600 meter sights on my LMT MWS. I'm at work now but I can try and add a photo of them tonight. They flip the opposit dirrection of what they are supposed to and you have to remember when you zero them windage is opposite of what the knob says. Other...

    LMT .308 MWS

    After having my LMT LM8 since May and then sending my scope out to get it coated I got everything assembled and sighted in today. A few observations I noticed. 1. I don't really care much for the stock trigger. It's not terrible, but I'm so much more used to the SSA and SSA-E's that when...

    LMT .308 MWS

    My LM8 built in May 2014 has the plate. I didn't think it did at first but I pulled both bolts completely out and was able to remove the plate from the upper. I would think with no plate the screws would gall up the aluminum.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I've never seen a DPMS or SR-25 pattern gun with the firing pin spring. As far as I know only the Armalite AR-10 and the variants have it (noveske, Larue).

    LMT .308 MWS

    I looked all over for an ECC for sale when I got my MWS Slick side back in May. Still have not shot it, wishing I would have waited...

    Best under $1000

    As an armorer for not only my agency, but I also work on several of the other surrounding agency's and individual officers patrol rifles. The two brands I've had to repair the most have been Bushmaster, and Rock River Arms. They will all break eventually, but those two stand out for the most...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Just using my cheap reloading calipers I'm getting 0.475. I can't get any better resolution out of them. If I think of it I will bring home a micrometer and see if I can get a closer reading for you.

    AR bolt face, wear after how many rnds?

    I agree, from the LMT's I have seen they must run 50 rounds or more through the rifles to test them/break them in. When my 308 MWS arrived at the gun shop and I broke it down I was amazed at the amount of "wear" and carbon inside the rifle. I would guess they ran at least 50 rounds through the...

    Show your new for 2014 AR!

    Just Finished this one up Yesterday after my Stamp arrived! 10.5" 6.8 SPC built from a mix of used and Blem parts. Just about everything on this rifle was bought used, or repurposed from annother build at one point in time. Eventually I want to shave the FSB and add a 9" rail but that will...

    Recommendations for a duty AR-10

    Given your budget I would say the LMT MWS is going to offer you the most bang for your buck. I was in a similar situation awhile back and ended up with the LMT LM8 slick side. I was really interested in an SR-25 but it was out of my price range. I also considered rifles from JP and GA...

    LMT .308 MWS

    I am planing on running with the 16" CL barrel for the time being. I've already swapped out the SPOMOD stock for a Magpul ACS to work better when using a rear bag. The only other things I may change like you say are a better Trigger. I have a Geiselle SSA-E in my 6.8 SPC I was using as my...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Just picked my LMT LM8 MWS up from the gun shop today. I've been wanting to get a large frame AR and was debating between building one, buying a Less expensive model and upgrading parts on it, or spending the coin and getting what I wanted. Unfortunantly the KAC ECC I really wanted was out of my...
