    LMT gas piston converting to DI?

    I have a GP upper and am wondering what it would take to convert it to a DI 14.5" 6.8 spc? I guess just buy a DI 6.8 BCG and a 6.8 barrel. I was just want to verify it with all you gurus out there.

    You'd need the standard DI barrel (with its gas tube) along with the standard bolt carrier. I'm not sure if you'll also need the standard bolt as well.

      Is it worth it? Would it be cheaper to just get another DI upper? No idea - that's why I ask.

        I wouldn't mess with an LMT factory assembled upper. They are very well made and there isn't a real reason to mess with that.

        You're looking to assemble a 14.5" 6.8? Is your current LMT upper a 14.5 6.8?

          LMT

          I forgot to say that my upper is a MRP.
