I'd recommend you lose or re-size your sig pic before one of the mods does it for you.

Hey thanks for the advice.

I've had a few mods tell me how awesome it is. No one has told me to get rid of it or change its size.

I'm not sure how to, and if you could cut it in half for me I'd be grateful.

Furthermore do you have any input on my original question?
 
I think LMT is an awesome company but those Cadex lowers might be the decision changer for me...Perhaps go LMT upper from Questar and Cadex lower from OST????????????????????????????????????????

Weird. I'm sure I've seen something about sig pic size limit, but given that I can't find it fill your boots.

Yeah, I already said go with LMT over the franken-gun.

LMT-a-licious.

I would recommend the NEA, but NEA hasn't shipped to my Dealer yet, so i have not had a chance to wring it out.

Just curious, and no offense intended, but are you recommending this gun based on extensive hands on use, or just based on what you have read about it here on CGN. Because to the best of my knowledge, none have actualy been sold here yet.

No offense but I don't think the NEA-15 compares to the LMT MRP...

Jus sayin'

Having seen the NEA in person at the shooting edge,this is definitely true. I will reserve final judgement until there have been a number of these sold and users have shot the s**t out of them, but they certainly do not have the fit and finish (nor the battle-proven track record) of an LMT.

As my post above mentions - price and Canadian factor. Also as my post says, i have not had a chance to wring one out yet. So as to whether or not it is better than an LMT will have to wait until i can run one.

Yes, i have run LMT before and am happy with it. Oh, and no offense taken ;)
 
LMT.

They're built very tight, so tight you may need a dowel to push out the pins for disassembly. The MRP-CQB is very versatile, you can change barrel lengths, calibers or convert to a piston kit...Questar has a 12" piston kit right now.

Accurate and built like a tank. Only down side is that the LMT piston rifles are heavier than competing designs like PWS.
