LMT Piston Weapon System

I wonder if they'll be in the 6.8 business too. (Piston that is) Stick, by Toyota you mean rugged and reliable... So many people have so many different ideas about car makers

Yes, I don't want rumors started about LMT being made in Japan....

So many temptations, so little money and so little time...

Plus you get a quick change barrel and a monolithic rail system.

I'm going to be getting a piston MRP upper for sure, but if you think about it the complete rifle is a very good buy.

I have a DI VIS upper and it is pretty damn cool. Sold me on the concept of a monolith. I've only handled the LMT DI MRP, but I liked it a lot. Excited for this new system.

It also comes with front and rear BUIS.

The complete rifles do but the uppers won't from my understanding.

Some pics I took at the SHOT show of the LMT piston system and upper

I'm waiting for a review by someone who does actual reviews and not plugs for manufacturers... Like the guys here...

new to ARs, interested in a piston system at some point.

looking at a Noveske Recce basic 16" or LMT standard 16". been reading tons on both, can't decide. they both sound great.

would anyone recommend juming into the MRP piston as a first AR?

why is it that LMT does not make a middy in their standard rifles or for the piston MRP?

in a 16" barrel should i be thinking middy or carbine? is the carbine better for a 14.5" barrel and middy for 16"? been reading on the carbine/middy debate as well. i figure if LMT is only making carbines...maybe middy is not necessary...?

this rifle would be for range, 3 gun, defense/SHTF.

thx.

I'm a piston freak. The problem with piston AR's is that each company has it's own system that has piston parts that don't match other piston guns. LMT will probably be at the top of the piston market when they come out.

Having a middy is not a necessity in DI (regular) AR's and piston systems are completely different from piston AR's. There are plenty of good DI AR's out there.

John,

Have you or anyone else heard any more news from LMT about shipping dates? Just curious...
