not at all in fact, the chromed are ridiculously accurate for not being match barrels.
Nope
Less experienced guy says - “nice to hear”.
Or, perhaps, if your shooting skills with a large frame AR are such you notice any genuinely *significant* difference between the chrome lines and SS lined barrel, then .... kudos!
I installed a 20" SS in my MWS that came with a 16" chrome and I do notice a bit of a difference, but nothing to write home about.

I'm the same but the ss is not really broken in yet. right now it's about .25 but I hope to get that to .5 soon. I just need to get out and shoot it some more but time is escaping me with kids fall ball and footballOr, perhaps, if your shooting skills with a large frame AR are such you notice any genuinely *significant* difference between the chrome lines and SS lined barrel, then .... kudos!

I decided to piece one of these together and the only real question left is the barrel. My first thought was the 18" .308 barrel. I always thought it seemed a good compromise in length. After reading through this entire thread, I started to consider the 16" chrome lined. So many good reports on it, the 18" may not be worth the extra cash. It will be just a general range rifle, fired from the prone position mostly.
Anyone have any feedback on the 18 inch barrel?
BTW, so far I have the lower, the LPK, SSA-E trigger, UBR stock. BCG is enroute. I'm getting there.

In my opinion, you won't notice much difference at all between 16" chrome lined and 18" chrome lined. My MWS came with the 16" chrome lined .308 and I decided to purchase a 20" SS 308 barrel and I do notice some difference, particular at longer distances. In my opinin, keep the 16" chrome and go with their 20" SS.
Thanks for your input. The 18" is a SS 11.25 twist vs the 16" 1-10 chrome lined. But it's an almost $100 difference in price., the 20" SS is the same price.
So you would take the 20" SS over either of the other two if I understand correctly?

Yes, I would. Again, I wanted to get the longest barrel LMT makes to give myself the most options with terminal ballistic performance, etc. I do know there are custom barrel makers out there who can make custom barrels for the LMT MWS system. So, if you are looking for even more options....
the 20" is a ss 5r barrel with 1:11.25 twist. I'm getting .75 with fgmm 168gr out of a new barrel that's not broken in yet. No doubt that will come down to half moa with right load, break in, and user efficiency.
no brainer

For those of you who have purchased additional barrels, specifically 6.5cm, where do you buy from? Sounds like LMT during sales and custom shops? Thanks in advance.
Got my 24" at Brownells. I've bought a couple of .308s from LMT during Black Friday deals which is coming up. LMT has really good Black Friday and Christmas deals.
I got mine from Primary Arms. I applied a discount code and got a hell of a deal.
does that code still work? ?
Those with a MWS 20″ stainless steel 1:11.25″ RH 5R cut 7.62×51 barrel, what is your preferred "factory" ammo?
What kind of groups are you getting?
[/QUOTE]
fgmm 168 and 175gr seem to really do well with the 175 being the best

My South American Contract Overrun MWS and a Mk6 I just picked up for it
No, I was told by an LMT rep that they don't kiss and tell
My guess is Brazil or Columbia
not exactly what you asked but from the mws 20” chrome 7.62 it’s lights out with PRIME 175 gr .308. I was impressed!
shot only suppressed not one issue but damn smooth and precise. (5 shot group at 100yd)

@RUTGERS95 thank you, it was a blast! I love these rifles!
Very nice rifles you have! Is that the South African or custom cerakote?

it's a South American, I got lucky. I called right away but regret not buying two!
Hoping someone here can help me out. I’m looking for a dimension for the usable length on the underside of an lmt mws mlok forend/handguard. I have one waiting for me at an ffl but won’t be around to actually pick it up for some time so am trying to get everything I want/need for it now, and I would like to buy an arca rail for the forend. Thanks
Venezuela and 42 were made and contract cancelled
Thank you for the info, that’s very helpful and just what I needed.

v1tactical.com V1 tactical is the a new LMT dealer-dude has great pricing on everything. He doesn't have a lot of stock but can order directly from LMT.
Also LMT always has great Black Friday sales-I've seen nothing yet but they're more of a traditional on Friday they'll have the sale kind of company.
LMT has had Christmas sales in the past there they will have something on sale everyday for really good pricing. Last year I got a 20" 7.62 SS barrel for $399, 16" Chrome lined for $299.
Not sure exactly what you mean-I haven't browsed everything but what I have I've seen it for less $$$ on V1 vs. LMT. I have an account on both and have bought from both.
just what I wrote, I emailed them on a few different things and LMT was cheaper so not a believer in their pricing. Nothing more nothing less. For instance, the upper was cheaper by $50 at lmt than v1. Now I don't know about smaller ticket items as I looked at barrels, uppers and complete rifles. None were cheaper than LMT website and I emailed for pricing.
no harm no foul
That’s because he just enacted his Black Friday sale. I agree, his prices are usually the same as LMT
I've been looking at an m-lock mws upper for at least a month. It's that price normally
LMT has 22 inch stainless 6.5 Creedmoor barrels for $450 today. Couldn’t resist. Some other nice deals too.
LMT requires MAP pricing-but dealers have ways of selling for whatever they want with LMT's blessing. Brownells sells for above that-because they are huge and having a $2k rifle on the shelf is pennies. Smaller dealers want to move stuff to keep cash flowing.
+1-couldn't resist and we'll probably never see it again. Looks like they discontinued their 24" 6.5 cm barrel as well.
A little bonus-free ship and I wasn't charged sales tax.
Every time I log into LMT I see $749 for that upper. I get one of you is or are affiliated with them given how many times you pump them but the reality is what it is which is V1 is not cheaper.
I can pull the emails as well cause like I said, I did email for pricing.
like I said, once you log on the pricing changes
