Just about ready to buy either a LWRC M6A2 or a LaRue OBR 5.56 (16"), both around the same price.
I know the LWRC is piston while the OBR is DI; quite a few other differences. I'm having a hard time choosing.

Any f/b about/between these 2?
Would love to hear from the owners of these 2 specific models.

Personally, I'd get a LMT MRP over both of those. The LWRC and the OBR are two totally different animals. One is a precision AR, while the other is a tactical AR. What do you plan on using it for. The reason I like the MRP is because you can just swap out barrels for different purposes.

Without knowing what you are looking to do with them, or what the primary role is that you wish it to serve, you are going to get a lot of guess work in replies. I think Paulo brings up solid points.

Taking in all the various f/b for here and other boards along with my particular needs, I ended up buying the LWRC M6A2. Thanks all.

I put the first couple of hundred rounds through my new LWRC M6A2 the other day and loving it. The action, recoil and overall feel was excellent. Really pleased with this choice!
