I JUST purchased a LWRC IC-SPR........not much of a rifle-guy, but it Is S W E E E E TTTT!! I like shooting from my left and this is so Cool!! Not an issue in operating the mechanisms of this rifle in both right-handers and left- !!! Very happy with THIS review and I hope you are happy with yours!!
@@stringtheory8090 I absolutely love it! Thanks for your time in making the video. I have the same rifle you have in this video. It's a ca compliant 16" spr piston driven and yeah I hate california and their rules. I've had zero jams or failures in about 300 rounds I've put through it so far. It's perfect and very accurate for me.
I have this version. Flick the flash hider or tap on it with a pen. It will ring like a crazy tuning fork and touch it, vibrates. When you shoot it, it rings and is incredibly annoying as well. Incredible rifle tho.
Hey Shannon, I'd hate to ask you if this, but since I know you are one of the few that actually read your comments (which I greatly appreciate), do you think you can do a break down of this gun for a normal cleaning after a days at the range. Like what needs to be taken apart, what should be cleaned, oiled, greases up, etc? That would be awesome if you had some free time to do that. I'd greatly appreciate it. I like how thorough you are and how you clearly explain everything! Thanks! Lmk. I appreciate it!
Hello there! We have been considering this topic pretty heavily and we should have a video coming in the next few days on this subject. The video will be on the basic operations of an AR15 (basic function, operation, chambering a round, takedown and cleaning). Piston AR15's are a little bit more complicated being that there are many different proprietary piston systems, but in general we can cover what needs to be cleaned with those setups. Thanks for watching and check back in a few days for that video!
Thanks again for the follow-up! I just want to ensure that when I take my rifle out to the range and bring it back home that I am able to take it down correctly and clean it down the proper way. I purchased the Comp IC 5.56mm 16.1" L Helical Flute Barrel (SPR Model) Ambi of course. I just want to make sure I do the proper breakdown of the rifle in a proper cleaning of which parts that I should clean and lubricate after shooting several hundred rounds through it. I really appreciate you responding back and everything that you do with your videos. I'm sure not too many people thank you enough and I just want to make sure that you know there are people out there that are grateful for this. I know it's not easy to sit there and put a video together and I know it takes a lot of work and I just want to let you know that I am grateful for that! Thanks again!
Hello there. The 1:7 twist rate prefers 62-80 grain optimal bullet weight, while it is less available and sometimes more expensive, it is much more effective versus 55 grain which is the majority of target ammunition. The reasons for this is 55 grain is more likely to over-penetrate and anything higher is going to dump more energy into a target. LWRC’s preferred market is going to be the serious operator, LEO or Military customers, so it makes sense to have a combat practical rifle down to the barrel twist. You don’t see the military going with for instance a DPMS rifle with 1:9 twist, since that is explicitly for 55 grain which is most commonly found on the civilian market. Outside of the military, here in the civilian world the 1:8 twist brings the most versatility in shooting 55-74 grain bullets, which is why the .223 wylde/1:8 twist combination is popular among competitive shooters. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Hi, how high and how low does the elevation adjustment knob on the rear sight aperture register? How many yard increment ranges does it go high and low?
Hello there. I checked with Shannon and he said that the rear sight is just a 4-way aperture with horizontal adjustment located on the left side. It uses a flat head screw and it's oversized enough that you could use a quarter to turn it if needed (such as a combat scenario). The horizontal adjustment is very refined and it takes a lot of effort to get very far off course, it's designed for very minute adjustments. From the manual, it says that each click will move the point of impact .62 MOA. 25-300 yards is the large aperture, 300-500 is the smaller aperture. If you are looking for zero distance you can adjust the front sight with the included front sight tool that he pointed out in the box. Thanks for the question!
What do you mean by pistón driven model? what are qd cups too? Sorry for the dumb questions, just want to learn about it...I bought one today but because of the background waiting check it took a while and they were closing so therefore I have to go back on Monday and pick it up but came on to UA-cam to see a review on it and learn more about it. Please fill me in and teach me more about it thank you so much. And what's the difference between the piss and driven and the gas driven?
The 2 main methods to achieve a semi automatic action (at least in the AR15 platform) are direct gas impingement and piston driven system. In a traditional AR15, you have direct gas impingement, where a hole is drilled in the top of the barrel, a hollow gas block sits on top and directs the gas through a gas tube back into the upper receiver, the tube ends inside the gas key of the bolt carrier, the gas is compressed in the gas key and when enough pressure accumulates between the gas key and gas tube, the bolt carrier is sent flying back into the buffer tube compressing the recoil spring, and ideally it has enough force to go far enough back to eject the spent case and strip a new cartridge from the magazine and on the way forward deposits the new cartridge into the chamber and rotates to close the seal of the chamber. At this point it is ready to fire and that is one complete semi automatic cycle. Here is how this differs with the piston system, but first we’ll define two different types of pistons: in one of the original rifles to use a piston driven recoil system, an AK47/AKM platform rifle, you have a long stroke piston, in this case where in direct impingement you have a gas tube pinned to the gas block, the gas block acts to compress the gas at this point rather than a gas key inside the bolt carrier, when enough pressure is gathered in the gas block, the piston is sent flying back into the receiver (AK) or upper receiver (AR) to complete the cycling of the action. The difference is no gas actually enters the receiver, the gas compression occurs at the gas block, not the gas key inside the upper receiver. In AKs the piston is actually affixed to the bolt carrier itself, which is a long stroke piston action, but to work in an AR15, we have short stroke piston, in which the piston rod and the bolt carrier are not attached. Gas sends the piston rod into the upper receiver, it strikes the anvil key (note not gas key, this is flat to have better force absorption) on the bolt carrier and then the bolt carrier is sent flying into the buffer tube. In this way you don’t have any gas inside the upper receiver. The overwhelming benefit to the piston system is that it runs super cleanly compared to the gas impingement, which leaves carbon in the upper after every shot, which can lead to malfunctions and stoppages if not cleaned. The average DI AR will last 1,000 rounds without cleaning, but a piston doesn’t have to be cleaned to maintain cycling (but does need the barrel to be cleaned to maintain accuracy) Piston systems are overall more self sufficient and durable which is the main reason you would get one, the main drawback being additional weight for the steel piston operation rod. Hope this helps, enjoy your LWRC!
Hello there. It is available for commercial sales, they are just in such high demand it’s hard to find one to buy. We do normally carry several of their models in store but have not had any in months.
is the gas block adjustable for suppressor setting ?. i dont find any video that explain it.. is it same with pws or mcx that can adjust the gas setting ? if it non adjustable, will it overgass when suppressed ?.
Hello there. The IC-SPR does not have adjustable gas according to the LWRC website, they recommend the IC-E model if you want to suppress one of their piston rifles. Thanks.
In function, definitely, as far as servicing and replacing a piston system, definitely not. I would steer you towards the video we did titled the "Ultimate AR15 Operations Manual" and we talk in depth about direct impingement and piston driven systems. The LWRC piston system is one of the best out there right up there with the Superlative Arms adjustable piston system for AR15s and they offer 4 different lengths for any sort of custom build you want to do with it. If I had to pick between the two I'd definitely want the SPR versus the DI, but if money is no issues beyond that LWRC's flagship is the model Six8 which is a 6.8 Special piston driven model and that is world renowned for quality and reliability, I'd take that one over any other of the LWRC models. Thanks very much!
Hello there. To me there is not much difference in accuracy vs the DI rifle. You would notice more the change from barrels vs the gas system. The only thing really changed is the barrel harmonics, it's like going from free float rail back to carbine (2 points of contact) and that may introduce harmonics that change the point of impact in a way you can't compensate for. If you want to minimize the impact that barrel harmonics can cause, you would need a larger width barrel, something like .825 or .936 diameter barrels, or even a .750 with HBAR contour would perform better with the piston system installed. To my knowledge LWRC rifles are all .750 in 5.56, if you were trying to replicate something like this you would have to go custom with a Superlative adjustable gas piston system to whichever gas journal diameter you prefer (or are able to tolerate with added weight). To summarize, if it were me choosing an off the wall LWRC DI vs Piston, piston for sure, but you can do better with making the rifle yourself if you are worried about barrel harmonics. Thanks for watching!
@@HSFirearms I was looking at a Springfield Armory Edge and they have a pencil barrel so you have to deal with some compromises on that as well. I am new to AR rifles and one of the local shops carries LWRC, but I had never heard them before. I had also read that GP rifles also have more recoil. Would you spend that much for GP just for something to use around the house?
@@311hitwall I personally wouldn't buy a Springfield AR, they are just rebranded BCM parts with a higher price tag for a name brand. I'm not familiar with GP rifles, I know of JP Precision, which are some of the highest end parts available, though I'm not certain the price to value is any better, you'd be pushing $2500 to get an all JP rifle. In the home use and LWRC/JP are not at all the same bracket for sure, if you aren't looking to shoot 10,000 rounds I don't think at all you are served with something that high end. Any basic PSA 16" is going to last a minimum of 5,000 rounds, after that you can invest in ergonomics and optics to better serve that need. If you are talking about SHTF and maximum durability is where you see the LWRC shine, the same goes for JP but it's more suited to competitive shooters seeking maximum speed without hangups or disruptions, where milliseconds count in a tournament style setting. It comes down to purpose, sure you can spend more, but do you need to? You can buy 2-3 PSA rifles for one LWRC, 4-5 PSA rifles for a complete JP, is it worth it? It may very well be to you, there are reasons you would buy one over the other for sure but price and availability is the only obstacle. Thanks.
@@HSFirearms When I used GP I meant gas piston rifle. That's why I was asking about the recoil supposedly being worse than a direct impingement rifle. What do you think about Smith and Wesson M&P15? I was looking at this model but not sure it is worth the price either - www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/mp-15t-tactical-m-lok
To me its about the same as the Springfield, rebranded parts marked up to a higher price. As I said Palmetto State Armory is going to give the best price to value for your purpose. Brand name really doesn’t mean anything when I comes to big names like S&W, springfield, DPMS, etc. Almost every AR15 is comprised of Mil-spec parts, which means you can theoretically take mil spec parts from another rifle and they interchange. In the civilian market you have lots of parts which are not mil-spec, pistons being a good example, they are all proprietary from manufacturer to manufacturer. A basic 16” PSA M4 Carbine in 5.56 or .223 Wylde (a little more accuracy, better quality, runs .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO interchangeably) is still going to retain accuracy out to 300 yards. If you want to go into more detail about in home use exclusively (no plan to use outside) the 9mm AR15 and the .410 upper receivers make excellent choices but loose most potential past 100 yards. The .45 ACP, .40S&W and .357 SIG Pistol Caliber AR15s do this as well, but the 9mm is going to be the most versatile. I wouldn’t buy the brand name just on name alone.
Must be in high demand if they are leaving the best part out of the box! Enjoy the rifle, LWRC makes a very good product and they should last a lifetime!
