If the rifle jams at all, and the ammo or a finicky magazine didn't cause it, then it's presumptively junk until proven otherwise. I have owned four D.I.gas AR 10 size rifles, including one actual Armalite AR10, one Bushmaster, one Rock River and one DPMS.Īll jammed more then I would like with the Bushmaster being the worst and the Armalite being the 2nd worst. I guess my point is you dont have to spend $2500 for a reliable AR10 and reliable needs to be quantified in so many thousand rounds to mean anything. Toolcraft makes a dual ejector BCG for the DPMS pattern, at some point Im going to use one of those, reviews are good. I have read their match trigger sometimes light strikes though. If I really had the $$ to burn I might fork it over for one. With DD you get a CHF chrome lined barrel that ought to hold up to erosion longer, plus a dual ejector bolt.
A heavy spring and buffer tamed it for another 1000 rounds so far, and Im gonna go for the real fix via an adjustable block I have ready to go - but Id say its perfectly reliable now - it just went over gassed after use. One Aero I have went 2000 rounds without a hiccup (my favorite that I use most) then started failing to eject occasionally. Where I shoot everyone with an AR10 seems to show up with a couple mags and a few boxes of ammo, in a lifetime those rifles might not see 1000 rounds, but owners will tell you how great they are. The other thing to add is solidly reliable after a few thousand rounds.
It does, however, give you 7.62/.308 firepower, is very accurate, never had a hiccup once, and the LMTs accept SR-25-type magazines, like the Magpul 7.62s, which are readily available and relatively inexpensive (as compared to other. Nothing else was attached on the foreend (no hand-grip, no bipod, no forward-mounted light). Nor did I find it to be particularly 'light'-weight, at least as compared to a similarly configured 5.56 AR, after humping it through a 3-day Tac Rifle class.įor that class, the LM8 ran the factory 16" 7.62/.308 C/L barrel with a RDS in a LT mount, and a pair of irons for back-up. Then replace the forward bolt and tighten both to the factory torque specs. Remove the barrel install the new one of your choosing. Unscrew the forward bolt and remove it then loosen the second (rear) bolt. So in theory anyway, it can be configured to be a tad lighter than the MWS if you don't need to hang a lot of gear on the gun.īoth rifles are MRP-platforms, so you also get easy barrel-swapping capability with other. It's like the equally reliable 7.62 MWS (which the Brits adopted), but the LM8 allows you the option of attaching rail sections to the forend, or not, at the 3-, 6-, and 9-o'clock points.
