LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

[chainring]

Ok, the guys at LWRC posted these pictures...and that is about all we know!

No timeframes yet.

One thing that MIGHT be up in the air at this point is what color comes first.

So, vote for the color you would choose if you were to buy one!

Cool looking barrel, and I voted for black.

I won't be getting one, but I voted for Black and FDE (since 2 choices were allowed).

Good looking guns. FDE and Black are my vote.

I'm a sucker for OD

Either black or FDE. This 16" upper will go great with my 20" REPR

Dude...Patriot Brown....

 

[chainring]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

Yeah, I'll admit that I voted for Patriot Brown or OD.
Black and FDE are so...tired!

Go with Patriot Brown and get Magpul FDE furniture.

You mean like this?

556 SPR upper on a Larue lower

 

[Chiller]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

that furniture looks lighter?

 

[chainring]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

Yeah, the pictures are of an SPR in Patriot Brown with FDE hardware. I like the contrast. Gives you a pretty good idea what a spiral REPR would look like in Patriot Brown, too! LWRC's FDE pretty well matches Magpul FDE.

I like how that one you pictured looks, and like you said you can really see the spiral on the barrel.

Is the furniture really that light in comparison?

 

[chainring]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

Yeah, Patriot Brown is darker than FDE. LWRC also does FDE, but I much prefer the darker brown of the PB.

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

The LaRue and the LWRC are close as you said......

 

[Stormshadow]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

Either the Patriot Brown or the FDE. My 20" REPR is the FDE...need to start saving for one of these uppers!

I sent the Larue lower off to Amelon Firearms for Patriot Brown Cerakote. It's a perfect match, even better than I had hoped. Now if I can swing a PB REPR...

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

I have a .22 with helical flutes. Looks pretty bad ass in my opinion!

You're dang right it does.

 

[kingweb50]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

is the patriot brown a coating like ceracoat or is it anadized

 

[chainring]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

The old MRE color was an anodizing, but the PB is cerakote. They are pretty close in color, though. The SPR at the bottom is Patriot Brown, and the A3 at the top is MRE.

Patriot brown looks pretty sick.

Fluting is awsome.

I'm hoping they start putting the folding charging handles on them by the time these make it out - or at least have them available for retrofit.

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

I dont care about the color I just want to shoot the hell out of it. I had to vote for O.D. green though, every thing else i own is green.

 

[chainring]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

I really like the OD green and voted for it second only to Patriot Brown. Anything but black, as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks! Now I want it's big brother!

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

I know a couple guys at LWRC if you want me to call and ask what the plan is?

 

[chainring]

Re: LWRC Spiral Fluted 16 inch barrel REPR! Colors?

Heck yeah, PM me if you find out any info - I'd hate to pin 'em down on the forum. I know how schedules can change. I'm just saving up and hoping to be ready when they become available!
