LWRC Individual Carbine IC SPR - buy / dont buy
I have the opportunity to buy an LWRC Individual Carbine IC SPR with black spiral fluted barrel, gas-piston $2486.00 before tax and DROS.
l already have a Daniel DDMV47. I don't want to be a hoarder, but I would also like to take advantage of this deal if we are headed headed towards an AR ban. Do you guys think this rifle is worth the cost? I know a lot of you like to buy lowers and build on your own - I don't necessarily have the time or skills and I like a singular, integrated, warrantied product. I happen to have some emergency / new TV cash...but i dunno. I'm very tempted. I also have a Glock19 at hold at the same dealership, so I have to choose. |

Unless you are running suppressed or with high round counts, pistons are unnecessary, add weight and parts won't interchange with your DD in a pinch. I'd get the DI model instead.

I have DI LMT, and KAC. I also have the pinned and welded 14.7 LWRC IC-SPR 110% it’s absolutely worth it. I love the details on the rifle, furniture, rail system, ambi controls, fluted barrel, enhanced BCG, nice trigger, what’s not to love? If you’ve got the coin and a slot in the safe then yes welcome the LWRC with open arms. The piston system is extremely reliable and well done, the bolt runs clean and stays cool.

If you are only considering buying it because it’s available, I wouldn’t. I’d only buy it if it was a rifle that I really wanted to own.
The best hedge against an AR ban is a handful of lowers. ( And some 80% kits. ) Not only is this a cheaper initial expenditure, it’s also the most flexible. You could decide to build them up later, or not. You could later decide to sell them and not lose much - or any - money. Putting a lower together is very simple; after you do it the first time you’ll be amazed at how easy it was ( except, perhaps, for the front pivot. Spend $10 on a dedicated tool.) Then slap on a quality complete upper and you are GTG. Buy the G19, buy some quality lowers, save your money. — Michael |

I would pass, just not worth it IMO and I don’t consider the panic buying or COVID into my decision. It’s not affecting anything really here. Offer him $1999 out the door and if he says no give them the finger and walk. Dealer cost is like $2000. If you live in Oregon there is no sales tax in your equation. And it’s a $10 NICS check. Good luck. Last edited by Endless; 02-25-2021 at 8:33 PM.. |

You already have a great rifle with the DD M4V7. Maybe get some spare parts such as BCG, bolt assembly, LPK, barrel, etc...if you are concerned about any future bans.
The LWRC is different with the piston gas system but you will never realize the full benefits living in California since using a suppressor is not feasible. Plus, the the SPR is a chonky rifle and pretty front heavy. |

Think about it.
If said semi-auto center-fired rifle meets minimum CA overall length requirement, has a fixed magazine, there is no need to pin or weld muzzle device. Don't take my word for it. Research and familiarize yourself with the state's laws.

DEAL?

I am not a fan of a non standard piston set up.... You need to decide, are you better off buying a lower or stripped lower and completing it later... or kicking out $5K for this gun and optics?

If you want it and have the $ lying around go for it
I have an LMT piston rifle and it’s super reliable and built like a tank, and easy to clean. I’m sure LWRC is along those same lines as it’s a reputable company |

Well, less gas face. Usually. The SIG MPX is pretty well known for gassing people. It comes back down the barrel.
