preten2bI like them enough that I have bought 2, an 18" med barrel and 20" heavy barrel. At the time they also made 16" LW and each step was more expensive as well as different furniture and trigger option. They are a few years old and feature set is a bit different with REPR II now.
I find them well built and I chose them because I was very interested in short stroke piston which has excellent accuracy (not as easy to do as with DI gas guns), non-reciprocating handle, Geissele triggers, 4 position gas which includes shut-off. Easy to clean but not much need after punching bore.

They (piston guns) are heavy for similar barrel length, and expensive, so you may want to have a preference for the feature set.

CPD SIGI’ve used and abused LWRC’s a few times.
They are solid systems! Extremely durable, they remain accurate and eat everything. Im not going to say “impossible to jam”, but they are pretty close to it.

Vipers28REPR is a great rifle! Lots of fun to shoot, solid to say the least.
