Lmt or Noveske

[Mattallen0506]

Gearing up to buy my first AR. I think I have it narrowed down to the LMT CQB 16 or the Noveske Recce FSR. Just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions as to which would be a better choice. Or if I am way off and there should be something else thrown into the mix. Thanks all.

the new lmt's suck there qc has gone way downhill i vote noveske all the way

[Graves]

No issues with my recently purchased LMT's here.

[ChadAmberg]

Wow, you're going all out for your first AR. Two great choices, have you handled both?

[drew890]

Noveske and never look back.

[Wiggity]

LMT does NOT suck. I'm sure you'd be happy with either

[longbow]

Top teir stuff there, can't go wrong with either.

[hatidua]

Add BCM to the mix...

[Cylinder Head]

Add KAC to the mix. Mine has never thrown up and is VERY light.

Either of those are fantastic guns however. FWIW my next rifle will probably be a Noveske (As LaRue will never make enough PredatOBR's).

I have handled, not shot, both and they both felt good. I think I am leaning towards LMT. Will be a little cheaper than the Noveske and almost as good.

[Mattallen0506]

I wil certainly check the other suggestions as well. Thanks for all the input!

[ChadAmberg]

Of course, consider spending about a grand less, maybe going with a Daniel Defense or something that level, and splurging the difference into some really sweet optics.

Both are great. The barrels Noveske uses are always hammers for me.

[brutal]

My Noveske N4 light carbine 14.5" is a tack driver for a short barrel AR. 1/7 will stabilize anything I run down the pipe. However, I got a smokin deal used (<300rds) on AR15.com and didn't buy spankin new.

go shoot some tula or wolf and report back.....ive seen two new lmts in the last 4 months choke personally and tons of neg reviews on arf.com

[jackthewall81]

LMT, Noveske, and Knights Armament are all top notch. I say witch ever one feels right in your hands and the price.

[colorider]

I have an LMT and it will NOT shoot tula or wolf. The casings stick in the chamber after being fired. I have tried different buffers and springs with the same result. This is not a problem for me because I do not like shooting that ammo anyway. Shoots flawlessly with any brass cased ammo I feed it.

[Musashi]

My vote goes to the Daniel Defense. Not inexpensive but not in the stratosphere like the other two brands can be.

That is what I went with. Definitely a bitchin' rifle.

[cofi]

can not go wrong with dd!!!!!! all of mine eat whatever i put through them super super reliable rifles

[Goodburbon]

I've also seen Noveske not eat steel cased ammo.

Mine hates steel cased ammunition. But I still love her, to show her my love,I installed a Grissele 3gun trigger on her. She likes that baby!

My DDM4v1 has never had an issue either.

[Cameron]

LMT, BCM, DD or Noveske are all good choices. It should come down to price, availability and configuration.

[keiser]

Don't leave out Wilson Combat. Top quality all the way.

I don't like the WC AR's, won't feel steel cased, seen castle nuts not staked, same with gas keys.

I'm thinking they should stick to 1911's

[asmo]

BCM should be your first choice... but if it has to be LMT or Noveske then go over to tacticalyellowvisor and look at the big giant spreadsheet.

[Americanstandard]

I would take a Noveske over BCM because they manufacture more of their own parts and have top notch QC. That said you could get a Daniel Defense as previously mentioned and still have cash left for ammo and still have a top notch rifle with a customer service department which is a phone call away.

[Mattallen0506]

Went with the LMT. Very happy with it. Thanks so much for all the input.

Addiction is about right. I keep telling myself I'm not, but... You all know better. [AR15]
