New LWRC

Did anybody get a chance to look at the new M6 Individual carbine at shot.
Anyone have any insight on it

Visit the LWRC forum. Quite a bit of chatter over there about it.

That booth was always way too crowded. I guess business is good!

I did check it out at SHOT for a friend... I'm not really familiar with LWRC's models, so all I could glean from it was that it was basically a Tricon with a new rail system that was integral to the upper. I saw the two side by side and what their guy said made sense about changes to the upper. Sorry I don't have more info.

I'll say that never having handled an LWRC before I was impressed with the build quality.

The upper is neat.

Still cant stand the spiral fluting on a barrel though.

Yeah, Not sure why they didn't go with straight flutes. Maybe they wanted to be different. I think I could deal with it

Variety is the spice of life. This having been my first hands on with LWRC I thought the spiral flutes were really kick ass.

Re: New LWRC

The spiral fluting increases the surface area of the barrel to promote faster cooling...suppposedly. I own an LWRC without the fluting and it works just fine without that weird ass spiral fluting on it. I think if I was to buy a weapon with fluting I would go with the "golf ball divot" indentations on the barrel. IMO they look better.

Flutes are cosmetic

Re: New LWRC

Are the LWRCs in 5.56 pretty accurate? I've read a bunch on the REPRs, but I was thinking of picking up an 18" SPR in 5.56.
