SHOT SHOW 2010 - Lewis Maching and Tools - 308 rifle system

[greentips]

LMT displayed the 308 rifle which they had won the UK trial.

The UK rifle spots a 16" SS barrel with a guaranteed accuracy of 1.5 MOA out to 800m, with 155gr Scenar match. The civilian version will initially come with a 16" chromlined barrel - and later with a 18" version. The bolt carrier will be chromelined. The rifle uses SR25 magazine system. Like the MRP, the barrel is interchangeable.

Civilian Version - identical, except for the barrel:

[Rotorwing_Savior]

That's the rifle I want, to go with my 5.56 MRP. It won't be my next I'm sure. The wait'll be too long.

Will the RCMP call it an AR variant?

 

[USP]

No forward assist? Also the design is different than the regular MRP. I gotta get one for the collection!! Any idea on price?

 

[greentips]

We were told the MSRP is about 2200 USD ( based on my memory), we will confirm it once we retrieve our notes from luggage.

 

[Max Owner]

Will this kind of stuff be shipped to us from the States?

Will they let it out?

thats a good price, much cheaper than that overpriced KAC crap!!

 

[Paulinski]

Overpriced - maybe but far from crap.

 

[beltfed]

overpriced KAC crap!!

...you have no idea what you are talking about....

 

[USP]

...you have no idea what you are talking about....

It seems I have hurt some fragile feelings. Ok explain why KAC is worth sometimes 2x or 3x more than say LMT comparable products? I use the word crap solely to show lack of value...not that I think any of their stuff is bad product..which it isnt.

Knights even makes HK stuff look cheap by comparison!!

 

[condition1]

Please guys don't fight... stop, take a deep breath, and marvel at that beautiful peace of engineering. Oh man....Ohhhh man

 

[Doc M]

MSRP of $2200 in the States means it'll probably end up being about $3 bajillion up here. Don't get your hopes up on the $2200 MSRP, fellas... not yet, anyways

P.S. I want one too.
