LMT .308 MWS

[Cooter Dip]

Thank you

She’s going to be a deer killer. So I’ll probably give hornady precision hunter in 178 ELDX a try in it.

I know 175 fgmm will shoot well. At least according to previous owner of the 18” SS barrel. But want something more hunting oriented for a bullet

I think the Hornady 178’s should do well.

getting my 3 LMT's cerakoted this week, having a tough choice, my 12.5'' 556 I am going with Cobalt, a grey build. the tossup is between the 16'' 556 and the 16'' .308, most likely one FDE, the other ODG, so many nice FDE/ODG MWS H's..

Where are you getting your Cerakote done?

They do a good job at selling those things.
I’ve just seen so many with issues, accuracy problems, etc… my company has sent many back, and some of them get fixed before being returned to the customer.

No doubt. But if they would sell the rails..

Now I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Indeed my friend.

I really want them to sell the Sabre 10 quad rail. Or geissele to make this in SR25 pattern. Would be perfect

Nice shooting

How well does the piston system and Abel work together? Gassy? Harsh recoil?

Thank you.

So this rifle in OEM config while loud is actually very softly gassed and pleasant shooting, gassed just right imho. Really low recoil for a .308 gas gun. H buffer with T308T ammo has been the winning combo, right out of the gate. The H3 buffer it came with wasn’t needed at all, for that ammo atleast. It wouldn’t even lock back on empty mag with an H2 buffer.

I actually bought the Abel Theorem for this LMT piston rifle because my Magnus was causing crazy high backpressure, even with the gas plug in the S mode.

It’s way less backpressure, I hate to say night and day, but it really is a drastic improvement.

It’s exactly what I was after, thankfully. I can now run an H buffer when loud in N position, and when suppressed as well, with the plug in S mode. Before, with the Magnus I was having to run an H3 buffer.

And to my surprise, this combo is actually much quieter than I had expected. Not quite Magnus quiet, but not too far off either.

Brass while using Theorem is on the left, Magnus brass on the right, everything else the same, minus the H vs H3 buffer.

I just did a transfer one of these for a guy and other than the cerakote I wasn't impressed. Bolt runs rough. Feedramps overhang. Selector super tight. Trigger loose. Charging handle didn't line up with the upper, big gap. Overall cheap PSA feel. Reminded me why we pay what we do for LMT.

EDIT: A1 version I dealt with not the K1. Both 16s.
