maybe frangible ammo, but I wouldn't use that either. I prefer 00 buck or 357

I would not use frangible ammo for home defense, it's designed for shooting steel plates and discentigrate. Frangible ammo will go thru dry wall/house like butter till it hits something solid ... XM193 is good home def round

1. I had an LMT CQB piston, and found that it fired most rounds just fine - I used everything from XM193 55gr, to Match grade black hills 77 gr, and they all shot without problems. Obviously the match grade ammo had much smaller groups at 100 yards. But the mil-spec ammo was plenty accurate. You'll have to try various rounds to see what your gun likes best.

2. Try to avoid steel cased ammo - some shooters have no problems with it, others have big problems with it. The LMT is a high quality rifle, so I'd use a decent round with it.

3. 5.56 has slightly higher pressures, but the LMT is designed to handle 5.56. (should be stamped on it).

4. Match grade ammo seems to be running around $1+ per round, mils spec is going for around 0.50 - 0.80 per. A year ago it was going for close to half of what it is now.

6. Depends on what you're going to use the gun for. Tiny groups at long distances? Tactical training classes? fun at the indoor range? Add ons should be mission specific.

8. Throw a little lube on it, and it's ready to go. Piston guns don't need a lot of lube, and are very easy to clean. That being said I'd still keep the bolt and bolt carrier "wet", especially if you're going to be putting a lot of rounds downrange.

I wouldn't worry much about carrier tilt. My LMT didn't have any problems with it. Neither have any other of my piston ARs. I've seen a few instances of it in early guns with first gen systems, and with lower end guns. Not an issue with modern quality piston guns.

I'd recommend you get some training running your AR. There's a lot to learn, and it's a lot of fun!

If you didn't have issues with carrier tilt on GP AR's, then they are G2G, but I just like to take precautions myself. Of course, I only owned 2 different GP AR's and I sold them not because of carrier tilt: one is to upgrade to the other GP system and the other, to trim my herd due to lack of ammo as well as making contributions to pro-2A groups.

To the OP, LMT makes great quality products so you won't have to worry about it. If any issues arises, you can always contact them. If anything, I am not against LMT, as a matter of fact, I am fanboy of its products and my FAL receiver (serial prefix starting with DS) was actually made by LMT for DSA.

Accuwedge doesn't fit on lmts with defender2000 lowers, not on mine at least....
