Ponchatrain Gun Show Rant
One thing many are not taking into account. These dealers are having a difficult time getting any firearms, mags, etc. to sell. This may be a hobby to you, but this business of selling firearms and related merchandise is all many of them have. Yes, the prices are high because the supply is low...- LAPatriot

LMT MRP CQB (that's a lot of letters!) piston rifle pics:
Good link, thanks. I'm not familar with cans, but it does sound like a real torture test. I've heard that cans do cause excessive build up of crud and the gas piston helps in this respect. I also heard that the guys in Iraq keep their M4s well lubed to combat the sand and grit. Just by virtue of... -

I guess I'm a little of both......I'm an old guy and I'm always interested in some better toilet paper.:D -
LMT MRP CQB (that's a lot of letters!) piston rifle pics:
No offence taken. The piston guns are supposed to be cleaner running and much easier to clean. As you say, I hope so anyway because I dislike cleaning my ARs as well. -
LMT MRP CQB (that's a lot of letters!) piston rifle pics:
Yeah, the AK is not a very accurate weapon and it's effectiveness is very limited outside of full auto fire. On the other hand the Galil is a fairly reasonable substitute given its better accuracy, but its weight is definitely a negative. If I was stationery and did not have to pack it very far... -

Well, you are "preaching to the choir", but I did check out the link. This is good news since the HK416 and the LMT are so very similar. It is too bad they did not use an AK as a base line for reliability. Of course that would not have been fair to the manufacturers of the other weapons. -
LMT MRP CQB (that's a lot of letters!) piston rifle pics:
You make some very valid points and I could never get rid of all my AKs. Their simpilicity is what I really like about them. You are correct in that they do not offer much in the way of options or optical applications. Again that adds to their simplicity and to their reliability. I also agree... -
LMT MRP CQB (that's a lot of letters!) piston rifle pics:
I understand what you are saying and I agree with you to a certain extent. I realize many of the problems with the M-16/AR-15 were due to 1) fielding the weapon before it had been fully tested 2) changing to ball powder instead of stick type originally specified by the factory 3) the idiotic... -
LMT MRP CQB (that's a lot of letters!) piston rifle pics:
Thanks for the link. This article makes me feel better. I have ordered one from Kiesler's. It should be in my hands the middle of next week. If it does well I'll be able to get rid of some of my AKs. While all of them are completely reliable, most have just barely acceptable accuracy. They are... -
Required Training?
Thanks for confirming this. Unfortunately I'll have to find out when and where a course is being offered in the Alexandria area. -
Required Training?
I was under the opinion that since I'm retired military I did not have to take the initial training course. I have now heard that this is only the case if I have retired within the last 60 months. Is this true? Thanks, -

Nice rifle!! I'm in the market for one of these LMT piston rifles, but I can't find anything on their durability after several thousand rounds have fired. Do you have any sources for more info? -
LMT Piston AR15
I'd like to say hello to everyone since this is my first time here. I just stumbled onto Bayou Shooter tonight. Has anyone had any experience with the LMT AR15 piston rifle? I am leaning towards the purchase of one. Because it is fairly new, I'm having difficulty finding any info on how it holds...
