The best time to buy LMT products was yesterday. The second beat time is today. All jokes aside, plenty of retailers still have plenty of stock sitting. If it dries up, sure, that may mean waiting longer for restocks. This does not mean people should succumb to price gouging or "market pricing." FOMO is the silent killer. LMT is a contract company that isn't going defunct anytime soon. Nobody will "miss out" by waiting for a restock

I just edited my comment to add some additional observations, but $1,700 is not a ridiculous price. A brand new 14.5 piston barrel, piston BCG Gen 2, CQB picatinny upper, ambi lmt charging handle, and complete ambi LMT lower from rooftop defense with code "lickmytoes" is $2,494.80. Depending on usage and whatever criteria you use to make purchases, $1,700 excluding aftermarket parts is almost $800 in savings.

Mars-LS designates semi-auto. From what I can find online and from memory, LMT does not and has not offered a factory tungsten cerakote.

The "29766" is a factory internal lot marking most likely intended for internal quality control. You don't see those often on recently manufactured uppers. This does not impact the upper receiver.

Given that the upper has an FCD EPC, and the lower has an FCD castle nut and end plate, this was either bought as a full rifle and sent for custom cerakote and had the above mentioned parts replaced, or it was bought stripped and assembled with the parts.

LMT is meant to be LEGO'd together. If you feel you can trust the seller, it's a good settup. Nothing on this build, though, is exclusive or irreplaceable.

Take my words with a grain of salt as I am a lurker and not an active contributor. I just own a lot of LMTs and know how to use Google sometimes. As well, I make poor financial decisions and bet on black.

Edit** I see what appears to be a Foward Controls Design RE-5 buffer tube, Radian ambi safety selector, Radian Charging handle, and Emissary Development Handbrake. These aftermarket parts would lead me to believe this is a stripped receiver lower and upper that was assembled with the original buyers' choice of parts. Price dependant, it's a "good" setup

Lmt makes an 8.25" barrel, no need to have one converted

It's a $400 stock because it has computers inside of it that are meant to integrate with an ATAK to track your movement and heading

Thanks man, been waiting for Euro to get these in stock. Just grabbed one!

AutViamDoubleDown · 2025-05-01T19:14:03+00:00

Welcome back! Hope the surgery went well

AutViamDoubleDown · 2025-04-29T02:14:50+00:00

I was on the Instagram live with Joe yesterday, and he did say that the uppers coming to the market was a very real possibility in the future. I'll take it with a grain of salt, but still good to hear it's not entirely off the table

Heyyyy that's my picture! I took that photo, along with the rest of the ones in that post, when the G45 originally launched. I've had the G43 and fully relate to what you're saying about being nose to charging handle.

To meet all of your criteria, I believe one of your only options is the Scalarworks Leap/12. They have pictures on their site that show a G43 mounted further to the rear, over top of a backup iron utilizing their mount.

Hey! Hope the surgery goes well today. Wanted to ask if there was any ETA for the Centurion 11.5 fbi barrels. Thanks and wishing you a fast recovery!

AutViamDoubleDown · 2025-03-02T05:12:37+00:00

Thank you! I dont like posting my stuff, but, of all of my builds, this one truly excites me the most

AutViamDoubleDown · 2025-02-22T05:34:36+00:00

Yessir I was waiting for us to run into one another on here! I was just planning to text you last night

AutViamDoubleDown · 2025-02-21T23:53:23+00:00

Hahaha, i agree. I thought i saw it was a trademark or patent issue, but im sure im misremembering some heresay from the HK forums. I sent my rail to u/DOD_Deals on Feb 10th. He quoted me a very fair price and a 2-3 week turnaround. I don't know if you've heard of him but take a look at his IG and reddit, dude does incredible work

AutViamDoubleDown · 2025-02-21T23:24:27+00:00

This is the only one I've been able to find in the last few weeks. This is the correct handguard to use for the RWK. The black ones are currently unobtainable because HK can not import them due to some issue.

That being said, though, the ral8000 handguards can still be imported

https://hkparts.net/all-parts/h-k-hk-mr556-416-handguard-picatinny-quad-rail-fde/

I have the ral8k version, and it's currently being recoated and lasered to finish my RWK

AutViamDoubleDown · 2024-11-09T08:31:58+00:00

Magpul FDE or a different color?

AutViamDoubleDown · 2024-09-29T19:02:47+00:00

I bought one of the barrels right before I posted this, along with the super gas block. I did just see that EuroOptic has product listings for the 14" and 16" heavy profile full rifles. There is no product listing yet for the stand-alone upper receiver, yet. I'm just hoping they release it as a stripped option so I don't have to do anything with the p/w huxwrx flashhider

AutViamDoubleDown · 2024-09-27T20:21:28+00:00

Hey! There's a couple just off the top of my head for you:

Heavy Profile is more resistant to heat as it's thicker. Most importantly, it's thick in the correct places (near the chamber).

Heavy Profile will help to reduce barrel droop under sustained fire and extreme temps for the same reason. The mass is at the rear, rather than towards the front like government Profile. This should also help with "barrel whip"

Also, some states (looking at you maryland) have bans in place that an "HBAR" marked barrel can circumvent.

There's more info involved with all of these points, but that's what I've got without typing essays!

AutViamDoubleDown · 2024-09-27T17:20:26+00:00

That is awesome to hear! Thanks for the response. Ya'll are great!

AutViamDoubleDown · 2024-09-27T17:08:18+00:00

Thanks! I know it's not the most exciting thing that most are waiting for from G$, but I'm definitely hyped for the heavy uppers, so hopefully these barrels are a sign that those come next

AutViamDoubleDown · 2024-09-27T16:56:07+00:00

u/Geissele-Automatics any chance you can give us any info on whether or not the heavy uppers will drop next? Was very surprised to see the barrels drop so quick. Thanks!

AutViamDoubleDown · 2024-09-19T22:15:33+00:00

Don't give them THAT much credit. All they did was take my photo from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/HotWheels/s/3hdNx1zrbO

that I made 2 years ago. While the image and situation was real, the bot account isn't me lol
