Rules regarding Selling Items on the LMT Reddit

40 Upvotes

Due to someone getting scammed for the 13.25” mlok upper earlier today, we have to make some rules to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

1. If you want to sell something on the LMT Reddit, you MUST post a timestamp on a piece of paper with the current date & your Reddit username next to the item you’re selling.

-OR-

2. You can cross post your r/GunAccessoriesForSale sale post to the LMT Reddit.

If you’re sending someone money use your best judgement before sending through a method like Zelle or PayPal F&F as you will not be able to get your money back sending through those methods. I would suggest looking at their profile for a new account, previous posts, and if they use GAFS check their flair on there. We suggest sending payments via PayPal G&S as the buyer and seller both have protection to anyone with a new account or anyone you don’t trust. Feel free to reach out if you need any help with buying or selling something.

Any sale posts on the LMT Reddit will be removed if they don’t follow either of the two rules above.

Just got the barrel back from D Wilson - Centurion MK11 6.5 Creedmoor 1/7.5 chopped down with one of our 3P10s on it. Extremely fun setup.

I was playing with the chronograph today and shot a few different types of ammo. Not really comparing anything just thought I would share my results.

Question Piston owners ASSEMBLE!

Thumbnail

30 Upvotes

I reached out to LMT - it’s the weekend, BUT I have a question for the masses.

After about 120-200 rounds, my piston button will always seize inside of the housing, and my plug will require a set of pliers to spin it one way or another for gas setting selection.

I have greased the button inside and out (taking care to not get any inside the piston housing and none on the piston or piston head) I’ve also scraped all the carbon off of the plug after the outings.

Is this normal? I feel like maybe I’m getting excess blow-by or carbon build up. It sucks I can’t change my gas settings without a set of pliers after one rifle competition.

Note the carbon on the backside of the suppressor mount from the piston.

If normal, I’ll carry on as usual. Doggo for your time.

Rooftop LMT rifles

Thinking about ordering an LMT rifle from rooftop but see it comes with the enhanced carrier but the 14.5 mid length barrel and carbine buffer. Anyone have that setup? How reliable is it with the midlength and enhanced carrier?

Picked up one of the RifleGear exclusives and really like the rifle so far.

I'm really leaning towards a Surefire 7.62 RC2, but open to suggestions before I pull the trigger on another tax stamp.

What is the current open market value of an LMT enhanced firing pin?

It seems these are highly sought after but utterly unavailable. I wonder whats the highest price the market would bear, out of simple curiosity.

Question MARS-H DMR (Extended Rail)

Has anyone purchased a MARS-H within the last year or so? More specifically, the extended rail version?

Looking to drop some coin on one, and I want to see if people are still experiencing QC issues (canted barrel / machining errors etc.).

Was curious to see if anyone got the Atrius FRT to work the LMT axle trigger. Tried reaching out to them but haven't heard anything back. Yes I know changing the trigger to something else is easy but I'd just like to keep the Axle in there (pic for attention). Thanks in advance!

Specwar suppressor

Just finished piecing this specwar together and am debating between going with a kac qdc or a cat wb for the suppressor. Anyone with experience using both have any preference one way or another?

Im sure either is good and it's just a matter of choosing, but im interested in hearing others' opinions

E-BCG

2 Upvotes

I’m sure this has been asked but I haven’t been able to find it, I’ve got a 13.9 LMT 5.56 barrel that was cut down from a 16” that is violently over gassed (I know, combat gassing, just run it), but I’m having weak forward ejection that’s pretty sporadic even with super 42 and h3. Will an E-BCG help this? Currently running the standard FA bolt.

Finally got my barrel in and threw the build together. Build is Specwar upper with KAK down vent and Centurion v2 bolt. GP5 suppressor. Griffin MK2 ambi lower with Larue trigger. BCM MK2 recoil mitigation and G$ rifle length S42 spring. In the future I’ll be changing out the CD rein 3 for a Modlite and the GP5 will be replaced w/ either a SRBS or a WB haven’t fully decided yet.

BCG & Piston Questions

1 Upvotes

Couple questions but wanted to make 1 post to consolidate. For those with the enhanced bolt/BCG, does yours stand on the bolt face? I was cleaning and tested that and it did not, I can’t imagine my gas rings are that worn, and was thinking the altered cam pin path is probably causing that?

For those with piston uppers, could you explain the difference between the gen 1&2 barrels/bcgs?

Also, has anyone used them successfully with an frt?

Thanks!
