Curious to know what your other piston AR is.

Does the bolt carrier on the LMT Gas Piston have anti tilt pads? Thanks.

I also ordered one of the Piston uppers. Hopefully it will be here by December.

Just saw one on Rainier's website a couple of days ago, and it's out of stock. Bummer.

First time posting on the forum.
I found this on GunBroker.com, I like the Idea of a piston but I think I'll wait until all the bugs get worked out.

Welcome to the forum. What bugs?

New to ARs. This forum seems to have great information without BS and attitude.

I am putting together my first AR and want to use a gas piston upper. I was thinking about ordering a POF upper, but have read good things about LMT. I can't find much info on their gas piston upper.

Any information or opinions would be appreciated.

What bugs, and why link to a thread that wants over MSRP for the weapon?

You should be able to find the LMT MRP CQB 16 Rifle (Piston) for just shy $2k.

LMT puts out a quality product, and with the election right around the corner, its going to be hard for most dealers to keep weapons in stock. I have a POF that I have heavily abused, and I've had great results from it.

Any opinions about PWS? I was ready to order a POF upper, and then I saw a PWS this weekend. There are a couple of things I like about it. I haven't gotten to touch and feel a POF, so not 100% certain yet.

I have a POF and it works well. I have a PWS designed licensed manufacturer's PWS upper (to test and review) which looks good but I haven't done anything to it other than field strip it. The LMT looks like a good system as well.

TigerStripe, how is the PWS review coming along?
Does any one know if LMT's MRP requires the use of only LMT barrels, or can other manufacturers barrels be used?

**Stickman** · 10 January 2009, 10:24

reiswigt,

I did a lot of work with the PWS prototype, and it was outstanding. I've not done much with the PWS production model, but probably should. The PWS system is used by Rainier Arms and Addax (and I think a couple others) to build complete uppers, which says something about them.

The LMT requires the use of their own barrels.
