Hello from Estonia. Been a long wait for some good rifles for our forces. Good that we get these fine rifles. U keep up the work. Fans over here too. Merry x-mas.
MrPetzzz thank you! Your government spared no expense to get you the finest. Keep us up to date on the implementation and how your forces like the new rifle.
Can not wait for the LMT vs. KAC video, as IMHO, they are pretty similar for the price range and features. LMT: Proprietary mono-upper where you can't switch the rail, and IIRC, can't use standard AR barrel due to its QD barrel extension. KAC: Proprietary E3 bolt design where you can't use standard AR barrel due to non-standard barrel extension for its E3 bolt... but you can use other types of standard AR dimension barrel if you ditch its unique E3 bolt.
@@SpartanB88 KAC rep on AR15com stated they do collaborate but the rep have never openly stated who machined their parts nor where they sourced the parts from, besides the Krieger barrels on their SR15 LPR line.
@@SpartanB88 Just FYI, I asked this question again on KAC subforum on AR15com, and the director of sales, Jack Leuba, says LMT does not manufacture parts for KAC. www.ar15.com/forums/Industry/Has-LMT-ever-been-subcontracted-out-to-manufacture-KAC-parts-/381-290668/
It’s a shame New Zealand didn’t have this rifle yet when I was still in the New Zealand Infantry. All I had in Afghanistan was my crummy Steyr which I had issues with. The new generation grunts at 1RNZIR don’t know how lucky they are.
PoshPrince it was weird. It fails to load a round into the chamber every now and again whenever we go out on patrol. It doesn’t go completely into battery. Doesn’t do it every time. Just half the time. When it messes up, I’d have to charge it again two or three times before it loads. I even reduced the rounds in my magazine to 28 just to see if it gets better but it didn’t. Funny thing is, I had multiple AUGs in my career and none of them had this problem... which is even funnier because the one I had in Afghanistan was brand new. I was the first user. The problem didn’t start until I had around 400 or so rounds through it and I took it to the Armorer twice. The first time around, they found nothing wrong with it and just gave it back to me. It messed up again after a couple weeks and I took it back. This time around, they swapped a few parts and then it worked perfectly... up until the last week of my deployment. Same problems. I honestly had stripped and inspected and maintained my rifle countless times at this point and could find nothing wrong with it. Took it back to the armorers again and they admitted they’ve never found anything wrong with any of it’s parts, they just replaced some to see if it fixes the issues and funny enough, it did the trick... but if you ask me, no soldier on patrol should worry about things like this. Weapons should be 100%. Years later, when I was already out of the Army, I found out New Zealand replaced the AUGs because so many soldiers had similar issues with their weapons. Some of them similar to what I had. Turns out, I wasn’t the only one. The Army kind of blamed the desert conditions. Which I’m not fully convinced because what self-respecting infantryman has dust caked onto his rifle at the start of patrol?
@@P1015532oni thanks for this long feedback. I tought the AUG was a reliable weapon, i'm still a novice in the gun community but maybe the specific 5.56 the neo-zeland army used was a part of the problem ? In France here the FAMAS can reportedly have some problem when used with brass-cased ammunition. Or maybe the magazine ?
PoshPrince probably not the ammo. We used the same M885 green tips that the American troops have. The Americans are our ammo suppliers. And also, prior to Afghanistan, New Zealand troops have been deploying to East Timor for years but didn’t seem to have issues there. On hindsight, maybe the Army had a point about AUGs having issues in desert environments. It’s not all rifles having issues. In fact, the Majority probably didn’t. But maybe there are significant enough numbers to prompt the Army to switch to the LMTs.
Merry Christmas Bartocci's! I got the MLR upper a few months ago, it's lighter vs the original MRP SLK upper for sure. I like having the MLOK on the angles, and not just at 3.6. & 9. I got the Arisaka Defense Scout light mount for MLOK. That fits closer to the fore end than any other mount I'm aware of. Only way to get it closer would be to tape it on there. One thing I've found though....the MLOK screws had to be filled down just a bit, they were almost touching my gas block, where I mount my bipod. And now I'll have to remove my MLOK accessories to change barrels. Not a criticism, but that's the trade off for such a small diameter fore end.
Merry Christmas to you and Heather +family. LMT CQB NZ is the best AR I have owned, out of many. I should have listened to your LMT advice, about 4 Colts M4s ago (LE6920x2, LE6940, LE6960 CCU). In the new year, 2019, Small Arms Solutions YT channel will get the subscriber numbers and recognition it deserves! Keep up the good work, Heather and Chris.
An LMT Christmas is the best Christmas. Thanks for the awesome video. More LMT vids in the future please. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas SmallArmsSolutions... I really enjoy your channel... An I always look forward to yours videos... Every time I'm thinking of adding a Firearm to the collection... I look to see if You have a video on it... Because I know I'm going to get good honest information an specs on Firearms... Plus I also hold near an dear to My heart... Colt Firearms an the retro era AR platform series of rifles... I'm going to be picking up a LMT Enhanced bolt for my Colt LE6920 carbine... I realized how great they truly are after seeing your video on The Enhanced Bolt Carriers... Thanks Chris for your great content. That You put out....
LMT needs to update their website now that they have updated their lower. They have many excellent configuration options but the way they present them all together and their less than intuitive naming conventions. I find their website is confusing. LMT is a great manufacturer that does not advertise to consumers well unless they already know what they are looking for.
Couldn’t agree more, their marketing is awful. Which is a real shame because they have the best AR-15 in the industry. The naming of their products is downright confusing, and they should declutter their website.
Elite Trader You must be an easy buck then, you’ll buy everything every salesman sells you as long as they have a good pitch. I buy only “quality made” products, regardless of how they’re sold to me.
Merry Christmas 🎄 looks like you got yourself an awesome present👌 I’ve been debating between the SR15 and MARS lower for my SBR and I think I’ll go with the MARS!
I love the lmt external pistons guns. Not because di doesn't work because my lwrci did never had a problem. it's because I hate having to clean clean di. The marine corps always wanted white glove clean which makes no sense for a fighting rifle. My hope is lmt make the mws with the ability to use pistons
I’ve heard this twice now. What would a heavy barrel have to do with needing a heavy buffer. I’ve always adjusted buffer weight to gas system. I don’t get what the barrel profile has to do with it. Please advise.
Wow! My mind is blown, I'm already convinced that this has got to be the best AR platform yet!! M1913, M-Lok, all the most proven materials, features, etc.., Can't wait to see it up against the SR15!!! Bursting with the in-depth info!
What a nice rifle man,I would buy it close eyes for sure,sadly I live in Spain and we have banned the 223 rem :( Maybe in the future we quit that idiot gunlaw and we can enjoy as you do.
MSRP at $2499.00?? Dang!!..I love LMT guns..fired one previously here at Raahauge's here in California and it felt solid..but some people can build a better gun with a $2500 budget in their pocket!!..my opinion only!
I was hoping I could pick your brain on a totally different gun ? im looking at buying a Benelli m1 but in the pictures the loading gate is all the way up to the point where it can barely be seen, the gun is dissembled though. Is this normal or is it broken ? I know this is unusual asking but I do respect your opinion and knowledge.
Recently got one of the LMT MLK's, I want to love it and do in a lot of ways but it has a terrible upper to lower fit, issues with some gen2 pmags fitting too tight so you have to pull them out hard and some not allowing the bolt to release (had it with 4-5 different gen2 pmags), hand guard heats up super quick (like 40 rounds over 15 minutes, 2 rounds per mag at a time), chatter marks from machining on carrier and hand guard. I think they need to open up the magwell a bit, sloppier is okay on that. A little larger hand guard for heat or slimmer barrel options. Oh and ship it with a non tilt follower magazine, c'mon in 2018 no green followers. Still a LMT fan.
Hey Chris, does the top of your gas block touch the inside of the rail? I purchased a MLC upper a couple of weeks ago. Then I ordered a carbine gas barrel that I just received today. I then installed the barrel and both sides of the top of the gas block are touching the inside of the rail, big time, not just feathering. Is this normal?
Is there extra weight on the LMT enhanced full auto bolt carrier? If not I’m thinking the enhanced Full Auto Bolt carrier wouldn’t make a difference in a semi AR.
Thanks to you im trying to decide between the SR15 and the LMT. Do you know if the 5.56 LMT Piston System and barrel will fit under the longer LMT MLR rail that is featured on the .224 system? I'd like to run piston but would like a longer rail. Thanks again!
Difference between a semi and auto bcg is the semi is cut down (neutered persay) to not allow to trip an auto-sear in a select fire lower reciever. Other than that they are more or less identical and function in both recievers.
I need help people. I need to locate a lmt folding front sight, the hk type not what I call the buckhorn type. The one that forms a circle almost. I can’t find any in stock anywhere. And no I’m not going to pay full price at lmt. I’m poor.
Chris my lmt lower is super tight on my mrp upper, i literally have to squeeze the upper and lower together to get the takedown pins out. Any thoughts on why that is?
Not only is the gas block pinned, it has to be heated to expansion and pressed on. I saw them do this at the factory and it isn’t going anywhere, mine hasn’t in 6000 rounds anyway.
@@DocMitchell69 I get that and they make a fine rifle, but I like to shop for discounts and when you don't even know the SKU on their product it makes it impossible to do an internet search and comparison. I've bought some fantastic rifles over the years at incredible bargains via search engines, but you can't do this with LMT. I bought an HK MR556A1 for only $2100 which included a Pelican case. That's just one of many examples.
@@elitetrader5468 $2100 is a steal! I've always seen them for almost 3000 anywhere else. But yeah I totally get it. I've been pining over LMTs MARs rifles but like you said, can't get them anywhere.
@@SmallArmsSolutions i've been really hesitant to modify it at all (being a colt n all) but lately switching out the trigger has been very appealing n the more i hear you talk about that enhanced bcg well i can always keep the colt parts in the museum room in a pretty glass box
@@pauljohnson9445 I've never paid over $1000 for any firearm! Just like I've never paid over $50,000 for any automobile. You don't have to over spend to get items that work & work well. . .
@@z50com $1000 AR rifle generally isn't going to compare with a 2K or more rifle. Proprietary matters for sure, and BCM makes good stuff. Who are the big 6? Daniel Defense, BCM, LMT, Colt, Noveske, and Knight's, according to people with way more time on each than me. I'd add HK, PWS, and maybe some others. Of those 8, I've experience with my 3. They're all good. But none were less than 1600, and the HK was 3K.
You're better off with a Mini 14. I think spending that kind of money on an AR in 2019 is stupid because I don't think the Gun Grabbers are going to let us keep them much longer.
@@NoHomo1776 Reality check buying things that you're not going to be allowed to keep is illogical. The next time the Libs are in power the Assualt Weapons Ban will pass. Once that happens mandatory registration of all firearms classified as assualt weapons by the AWB is right around the corner and after registration comes confiscation. The Mini 14 is exempted by features and by name to the AWB but AR's are not. You're better off with a Mini 14 than this LMT.
@@gsxr1189 First of all, don't be a pussy, if you're American, nobody "allows" you to own firearms, it's your 2nd Amendment right to own firearms. Secondly, you're basing your entire decision to throw your money away purchasing a piece of shit gun like the Ruger on a big assumption. Lastly, even if another ban were to occur, what makes you think the government would stop with anything they deem an "assault weapon?!" By your logic, you must also assume that an over reaching government like that could also seek to classify a mini-14 an assault weapon. All they would need to do is edit their definition of an "assault weapon," to include any features of the mini-14.
@@gsxr1189 So?...It's only death. Pffft, You act like you have something to live for. They'll run out of confiscaters when they get to around B on confiscation list. There's more AR's on the streets of America than in the Arsenals. 3.5 million people have cycled through the the GWOT in the last 15 years. That's a lot of battle hardened people on the streets. We would've been two years and up to our waists in RW2 if Trump wouldn't been elected.
@@DutchK75The assualt weapons ban will pass it's not a question of if it's a question of when. They will be in power again eventually to pass their BS laws it's only a matter of time. I suggest you begin to figure what you're going to do once that happens. Once the AWB passes they aren't going to let you keep grandfathered banned weapons for long. Unlikely that a version of the AWB Bill writen while Lib's were in power grandfathered weapons at all.
Super pumped that LMT keeps winning smaller yet very important military contracts.
Why be pumped? Just means we can’t get our hands on them until this contracts are fulfilled

Why would a piston gun have gas ports and a weep hole on the BGC?

Luis Ortiz no, still be reliable as hell
@@SmallArmsSolutions that seems like it should be standard. Hell of a reliable weapon 😮
I've been using that Enhanced carrier with a 16" mid length barrel and a 14.5" carbine gas upper with no issues at all.
could you do more on the barrel removal?
Hey Chris, does the top of your gas block touch the inside of the rail? I purchased a MLC upper a couple of weeks ago. Then I ordered a carbine gas barrel that I just received today. I then installed the barrel and both sides of the top of the gas block are touching the inside of the rail, big time, not just feathering. Is this normal?

Would the standard carbine buffer reasoning also apply to the MRP upper as well or would I need a heavy buffer for that one?
Kevin Kreutzer same
@@SmallArmsSolutions Thanks a bunch!
I use an H buffer in mine but it might not be ‘needed’.
Does this also have the caliber conversion capabilities
You have several caliber barrels available, different lengths and even two operating systems
Happen to know what all is different between the semi-auto and full-auto bolt carrier groups?
ElGringo Supremo just the reduction in length of the sear trip on the carrier
Thank you
Is there extra weight on the LMT enhanced full auto bolt carrier? If not I’m thinking the enhanced Full Auto Bolt carrier wouldn’t make a difference in a semi AR.
Thanks to you im trying to decide between the SR15 and the LMT. Do you know if the 5.56 LMT Piston System and barrel will fit under the longer LMT MLR rail that is featured on the .224 system? I'd like to run piston but would like a longer rail. Thanks again!
kodey V absolutely will be fine.
Are their gas blocks drilled and pinned?
Yes they all are
Hey quick question brother, does the enhanced BCG run well with standard range ammo? ive heard it might have problems with under powered ammo
DJM works good across the board with NATO Ammo. I don’t use Wolf so no idea how that works
I see there is two versions of the Enhanced BCG made one Full Auto and one Semi Auto would the Full Auto one work normal if placed in a semi auto
jason2232 yes sir it will

Chris my lmt lower is super tight on my mrp upper, i literally have to squeeze the upper and lower together to get the takedown pins out. Any thoughts on why that is?
Austyn Ortiz both parts on the upper of the tolerance specs. No problem, just tap the pins out with a punch and mallet
File down the speed bumps on the upper to get a desired fit
Is the gas block pinned?
Breakfast in the Field absolutely
Awesome, thank you, sir! Amazing vid, as always, hope ya’ll had a great Christmas!
Not only is the gas block pinned, it has to be heated to expansion and pressed on. I saw them do this at the factory and it isn’t going anywhere, mine hasn’t in 6000 rounds anyway.
Best on the market forget KAC
LMT marketing is horrendous. Can't really find their rifles anywhere very easy. They suck at marketing.
They don't really have to, they sell by reputation.
@@DocMitchell69 I get that and they make a fine rifle, but I like to shop for discounts and when you don't even know the SKU on their product it makes it impossible to do an internet search and comparison. I've bought some fantastic rifles over the years at incredible bargains via search engines, but you can't do this with LMT. I bought an HK MR556A1 for only $2100 which included a Pelican case. That's just one of many examples.
@@elitetrader5468 $2100 is a steal! I've always seen them for almost 3000 anywhere else. But yeah I totally get it. I've been pining over LMTs MARs rifles but like you said, can't get them anywhere.
Check out Big Tex Ordinance. Sometimes they either have them in stock, or they have parts that you can buy to build it yourself.
Do you know any good websites to find this on?

Another Burn Down.
will the lmt bcg work in my le6920
me2ontube yes sir, it will improve the performance.
@@SmallArmsSolutions i've been really hesitant to modify it at all (being a colt n all) but lately switching out the trigger has been very appealing n the more i hear you talk about that enhanced bcg well i can always keep the colt parts in the museum room in a pretty glass box
First. Merry Christmas!!!
Not impressed with LMT. Seem way overpriced to me. Then on top of it all, they throw a short ass rail on it.
Caleb Clark if you want a longer rail, get the full length MRP. The shown rifle has the shorter MRP CQB.
Nice rifle but way over priced! If it was in the $1200-$1300 range I could see it but not at $2000+
Wishful thinking. Quality always costs. U can't have a minivan that handles like a Porsche.

@@pauljohnson9445 I've never paid over $1000 for any firearm! Just like I've never paid over $50,000 for any automobile. You don't have to over spend to get items that work & work well. . .
@@z50com $1000 AR rifle generally isn't going to compare with a 2K or more rifle. Proprietary matters for sure, and BCM makes good stuff. Who are the big 6? Daniel Defense, BCM, LMT, Colt, Noveske, and Knight's, according to people with way more time on each than me. I'd add HK, PWS, and maybe some others. Of those 8, I've experience with my 3. They're all good. But none were less than 1600, and the HK was 3K.
You're better off with a Mini 14. I think spending that kind of money on an AR in 2019 is stupid because I don't think the Gun Grabbers are going to let us keep them much longer.

That is the most illogical idea I've read in quite a while.
@@NoHomo1776 Reality check buying things that you're not going to be allowed to keep is illogical. The next time the Libs are in power the Assualt Weapons Ban will pass. Once that happens mandatory registration of all firearms classified as assualt weapons by the AWB is right around the corner and after registration comes confiscation. The Mini 14 is exempted by features and by name to the AWB but AR's are not. You're better off with a Mini 14 than this LMT.
@@gsxr1189 First of all, don't be a pussy, if you're American, nobody "allows" you to own firearms, it's your 2nd Amendment right to own firearms. Secondly, you're basing your entire decision to throw your money away purchasing a piece of shit gun like the Ruger on a big assumption. Lastly, even if another ban were to occur, what makes you think the government would stop with anything they deem an "assault weapon?!" By your logic, you must also assume that an over reaching government like that could also seek to classify a mini-14 an assault weapon. All they would need to do is edit their definition of an "assault weapon," to include any features of the mini-14.
@@gsxr1189 So?...It's only death. Pffft, You act like you have something to live for. They'll run out of confiscaters when they get to around B on confiscation list. There's more AR's on the streets of America than in the Arsenals. 3.5 million people have cycled through the the GWOT in the last 15 years. That's a lot of battle hardened people on the streets. We would've been two years and up to our waists in RW2 if Trump wouldn't been elected.
@@DutchK75The assualt weapons ban will pass it's not a question of if it's a question of when. They will be in power again eventually to pass their BS laws it's only a matter of time. I suggest you begin to figure what you're going to do once that happens. Once the AWB passes they aren't going to let you keep grandfathered banned weapons for long. Unlikely that a version of the AWB Bill writen while Lib's were in power grandfathered weapons at all.
