    Angry Check out my "NEW" LMT!

    Hey black rifle fans, check out my "New" 13.5" LMT .308 barrel! This is what it looked like out of the box! Actually, that last part isn't accurate - this is what it looked like after an hour+ of cleaning the various rust, grease, dirt and grime off it with G96, q-tips and micro fibre cloths! And that doesn't even include the 3-4 scratches and gouges in the chrome lining...

    In hindsight I wish I'd taken some 'before' pictures, but I didn't realize at the time just what I'd embarked on... At one point I honestly thought I was cleaning mould off the feed ramps (this is apparently what colour factory packing grease turns when undoubtably left exposed to the elements for probably the better part of a year). The 'red circle of death'/rust (for you Xbox fans) around the gas block took 20-minutes with a nylon brush to remove the worst...

    And the best part is this is apparently a "warranty" issue (!) with my "new" barrel, and now I get to wait 4-12+ weeks for a replacement from LMT (no refund for me, even though I politely asked...). Lesson learned! Why pay less on the EE for mint/LNIB when you can pay retail from a CGN sponsor for used/'slightly handled'!!

    Not a good sign, but its a tool. If it works who cares, scratches and surface rust should be standard on guns that get run hard.

    If by "nice", do you mean "new"?

    It's not so much the exterior, but the 3-4 gouges in the chrome lining on the inside of the barrel. How it arrived in the box should've been foreshadowing...

    The stuff i've gotten from them has been nice / new

    That's really unfortunate... it should never have been sold as new if at all
