Nice. I've used V1 also-all went great. I got my Sharpshooter at Brownells a few years ago-paid much more $$ than V1. Baller rifle. It will give you time to stock up on FGGM 168/175gr cause it will love that. Also Global Ordnance is selling Australian Outback 168gr it loves. Come to think of it-cheap 1980s Korean ball ammo shoots well in it. It's the least picky about ammo gun I've ever shot.
Hello everyone,
I'm hard up for an mws lower parts kit and it seems to be the holy grail. Has anyone been able to find these relatively easily?

So....they also have MLOK MWS uppers and 16" .308 chrome barrels in stock as well, so with the discount code you can get a complete rifle for $2178. That's an awesome dang good deal.

No BCG or BUIS-if you want LMT that's another half a stack easy. Brownells charges sales tax too-so basically wiping out the 8% discount.
You can get a MARS-H lower from Titan Defense for about a grand.
Not as a good a price as the one Brownells is offering right now, but good to have other sources.
Pretty sure the MARS-H is considered an upgrade to the MWS as it has native ambidextrous bolt and magazine release. FWIW, Titan Defense didn't charge me sales tax on my purchase, so it actually brings the MARS-H pretty close in price to Brownell's complete MWS considering Brownell's collects CA 10% tax

it's the only lower that I know of that has a bolt catch on the right side. I consider it an upgrade for sure-even though I don't care about ambi anything as I learned on an M16A1 and A2. Nice to have though.
It depends on which MWS you are talking about.
Every current LMT MWS model, except for the "Defender" comes with the MARS-H lower.
Consult LMT's website for more details and specs.
The current generation of KAC SR-25 and SR-15 rifles also have true ambi bolt and magazine releases as well. The KAC ambi controls look slightly different than the LMT ones, so I don't think they were developed by LMT and adopted by KAC or vice versa
Bolt catch. KAC does not have a bolt catch on the right side.
Yes that is a bolt release. It is however not a bolt catch. LMT MARS has catch and release bolt on right side-fully ambi.
My whole point was for about $100 more you can get the ambi lower. I'm right handed but like using my trigger finger to release the bolt after inserting a fresh mag. I was weighing going the brownells route at 10% off and free shipping but elected to go ambi. I picked up a 308 sniper for $2300 last fall and liked that lower.
Hello all,
It's with great sorrow and pain that I ask this question. I recently decided to have my canteen green lmt trigger guard switched out, as it's a rare bird I decided to take it to the gun shop I've frequented for around ten years. Super great people and have never been done wrong (will not mention shop name.) well I got a call yesterday that my canteen green lower was broken, Pics below. Needless to say I'm sick to my stomach, but they have a free brand new mws lower on the way and I keep my canteen green lower as well.
My question is, if I'm able to tig weld this tab back on does anyone here know of a reputable company that would be able to anozide the welded spot after its welded?
Any and all information is greatly appreciated ?

Holy shit. Amateur hour fuckup. There is absolutely no excuse for that.
And no, it’s not repairable.

Yeah its something I would do myself and chose not to, I'm regretting it pretty hard. Was told it was a new gunsmith and after this, I'm not sure how long hell last after this.

That magpul enhanced trigger guard looks like a solid option, I have that tap and I never even thought about this method. Plus I really enjoy the lmt ergo sure grip that comes with the lower.
I all honesty I would much rather have a machinist do the 80% ears trick, but I'd imagine it would cost an arm and a leg.
Thanks again

The call from the gunshop was like a call from your prom date telling you she's pregnant.. Just about threw up lol
But yes the owner of the shop has been back and forth with me about the lower and he's going to get it anodized to get it to match the upper as close as possible.

No problem, I hope it works out to your liking. That's the option I would try first.
There's no reason you couldn't have the machine work done at some point in the future if you'd either unhappy with the magpul fix or just want something more permanent. .
I'm hoping someone has done the math and the work already, as I don't have the parts in hand to measure on my own: will a pinned and welded Surefire SOCOM 3-prong bring a 13.5 barrel out to 16" overall and will the suppressor clear the handguard? If not, what would I need to cut a longer barrel down to in order to make legal length and also not have mounting difficulties?
HIWG,
Yes unfortunately it was the south American lmt mws, that I purchased from a fellow member on this forum. Great guy to deal with, a great gun that I had for a whole week before the great tragedy.
But man, if they didn't offer a brand new lower for free and no one didn't offer any advice of fixing the problem on this forum I'd be pretty raw. It's life man, it's all what you make of it. ?
