Are you a Gucci or simple carbine owner?

It’s surprising a great little carbine for the money. The backstory is we started buying them at work. I bought one to teach with. I set it up as we issue it. The build is one of the better lower end style carbines. The recoil impulse is one of the better in that category. It is properly gassed, properly staked, and extremely reliable.

I just slapped a EoTech on it, padded BFG sling, and light. Just add ammo.

Oh and the groups at 50 are impressive for any service grade AR.

Color me impressed. And that takes a lot for someone that is usually Gucci.

Would that qualify as "Gucci"?

Modern LMT is in the Gucci tier. If you’re talking the old M4 plastic hand guard models, I don’t think so as they were reasonably priced. I wish I could get a 14.5” M4 style LMT upper to pair with my old Defender 2000 lower.

Pretty simple here.
16" Midlength
Fixed front sight, MBUS rear
Padded Vickers sling
Vortex Strikefire II
Still need to get a light for it

The 12131 karma rifle is still in plain configuration, haven't decided how I want to equip it yet. It'll probably stay pretty simple/basic as well.

Newer one. Full rail mount, 16" (interchangeable) Barrel. That thing is laser accurate!

I did get really lucky on that (and most) of my purchases. My neighbor (honestly 40 yards from door to door) worked for 2 different Police Supply places, and I was fortunate enough to pick up some really great deals on guns, ammo and equipment. This LMT was one of about 50 that were "department turn-ins". Whatever department wanted to upgrade their weapons, and traded these in. So that means "used". Well, getting the pick of the litter, the one that I got must have been a secretaries gun because there was probably less than 100 round thru it.

I have a LaRue set up for coyotes and P-dogs. Slimmer barrel, SWFA scope (thing is YUGE), OD green larue furniture, larue trigger, magpul bipod. Will soon have a can of some sort.

For the longest time my only AR was an LMT defender 2000, all bare-bones with just a fixed rear sight and a magpul CTR stock. And sling.

HD pistol is an 8" 300Blk with a raptor charging handle and RDS. Needs a light.

I still need a 20" and a 14.5" 5.56. and an AR-10 thing and a 9mm PCC thing.

I really like ARs.
