LMT Defender AR-15's ?

[Aaronhome27]

The other day I decided it was time for an AR build. As usual I hit the INgun classifieds first and ran across a new unfired LMT lower and it was actually fairly local to me . Hmmm, I had never seen an LMT anywhere before and really didnt know much about them. Used some google-fu and found pretty amazing feedback on LMT so I snatched it up. Went home and fumbled on what upper would best suit it. Well heck, why not just use the upper made for it so off to gunbroker. Picked up an LMT standard complete upper with CL and cryo barrel. Now it is the waiting game till it gets here. Never held one of the LMT rifles but this lower has some pretty darn good quality and the Single stage trigger has to be one of the best I have ever laid my grubby on. What is the general consensus on LMT in general?

LMT is a Tier 1 manufacturer and has been in the game longer than most. I couldn't be happier with mine, you've got yourself a great rifle in the works.

LMT is among the best. Many companies have good receivers, but what gives LMT the edge are the parts. Good choice.

Ditto above....LMT is top of the line...Good luck with the build

That is some great reassurance and Phylodog that is one sweet build there! As you can tell I am a bit new to the black rifle disease but it has set in and I am hooked. This will be only my third AR. Started with DPMS and wasn't to impressed then moved on to RRA. The RRA was actually pretty nice but still didnt have what it took to fix the itch. I have been a big pistol guy for a long time and dabble around with rifles from time to time. It takes me quite a few to find a keeper when it comes to firearms. Now this darn black rifle thing is way beyond what I have dealt with. Shoot there are just WAAAAYYY to many ways to set one up and dont get me started on parts. I know right now that one rifle will in no way fix this itch. Once I get my 16" fix I think there is no way around it, an SBR has got to come next! Pics like Phylodog's are not helping!!

While kids have sugar plumbs dancing in their heads I cant clear my mind of these Something about the MRP series is just sweet if you can get past the sticker shock

LMT is GTG

You are going to be hard pressed to find a better built AR without going along the lines of KAC etc. Mine is flawless.

Best,

I'd take a LMT over a KAC.

I'd take a LMT over a KAC.

Agreed! I've got an MRP CQB Defender (about to SBR the lower), I've shot a lot of AR's, but this one is by far my favorite. I'm fairly confident I could abuse the $#!t of it and it wouldn't miss a beat! I've been pretty rough on it so far and never an issue!

This.

+1

When I think KAC I think of $20k toilet seats on a space shuttle. The only reason KAC is expensive and in demand is because the government buys most of it up.
