    I like it. Got to handle the A2, felt like a handy solid rifle. Would buy.
    The gun has played a critical role in history. An invention which has been praised and denounced... Served hero and villain alike... And carries with it moral responsibility. To understand the gun is to better understand history.

    Looks like a Keltec. With more metal!

    Is that the safety way back behind the magwell? Weird spot!

    Finally free floated, wow they move slowly.
    Most of the actual reliability problems dissapeared in the first HK revamp of the system.
    The rest of it was just some plastic bits breaking.

    The LMT MWS was type-classified as the L129A1 Sharpshooter Rifle by the British Army for use as a Designated Marksman Rifle, not as a general-issue service rifle. It is issued on the basis of one per Section of 8-10 infantrymen, not one per soldier.

    I guess that means we aren't getting anything from H&K for the civilian market in the near-to-medium future...with all their military contracts, we're on the farthest rear, back burner...
