Shout out to the LWRCI technical service department

[Inifinty]

I have used the LWRCI technical service department a couple of times on an ~11-12 year old rifle.

Once to swap the barrel, and most recently to un-futz the rings inside the adjustable gas block I messed up.

Both times they took great care to get my needs straightened out quickly and at a fair price, or no cost at all.

Thank you LWRCI!

Is the barrel extension in their DI guns the same as standard ARs? I thought I heard something about that.

I dunno.

Call them up. Very easy to work with and get your questions answered.

Good to hear. My LWRCi is my favorite AR.

What kind of barrel swap? I asked about having a barrel swapped to a different caliber they make and was told no.

replaced the original 20" for a 16.1" of the same caliber for a fee

It’s the index pin.

It’s the index pin.

whatcha mean there boss?

on a side note; if anyone is interested in reducing the gas in their piston version you can drill extra cent holes or enlarge the existing ones in the piston cup

adding holes would be to vent gas early, so behind the existing ones

i bought extra piston cups to experiment with different sizes of holes.

the larger existing worked too but was more temperamental to weak ammo.

both my 12.5” and 16” came with H buffers and continued using those with the modified piston cup and the gas setting on suppressed.

in the pic:
left side: unmodified
middle: enlarged original holes
right: original holes with extra

those were a little small. made some other cups with larger extra holes.

The index pin is domed, not cylindrical. The extension shouldn’t be any different.

Do standard AR-15 extensions drop into LWRCi uppers?

Never tried and don’t have equipment on hand to try. Living vicariously here, but I believe the pin on the standard upper has to profiled to fit the LWRC upper.
