LAND WARFARE RESEARCH CORPORATION LWRCI Warranty Experience

10 Upvotes

I ordered a REPR MK II last spring.

I took it out the range and found it would almost never cycle unsuppressed. Additionally, it was also blowing primers and ejecting damaged brass. It quickly stopped cycling suppressed as well. The charging handle / BCG was binding up in the receiver and the firing pin itself fractured. It appears that my rifle was not machined correctly.

May: I emailed LWRCI and they sent me a prepaid label. I called them and was told to expect two weeks, depending on what was wrong with the rifle.

Since sending it in, LWRCI has not responded to a single email. And I have found that you really have to be lucky for them to pick up the phone, usually it just goes to voicemail which requests that you send an email.

July 1: I called and was told the rifle was just getting its "finishing touches" and was about ready to get shipped back

Mid July: After a couple more weeks of silence, I managed to get through the phone was and was told it would most likely go out at the end of last week. Still no update since then

I always try to set reasonable expectations, so I do understand LWRCI is not a large company with a large service team. It's not like Ruger, where you can expect a turn around time of like one week. I also know that firearms needing repairs might have to wait for materials/parts to come in from suppliers. But it would be nice if I could get a damn email response.

I have to admit my disappointment with the $4000 rifle and difficulty of communication with LWRCI. I specifically bought this because I believed it would a high quality, reliable, and truly accurate (precise) platform for long range shooting after finally getting a very expensive membership at the local 1000 yard range. I was super excited.

REPR issue

Post image
12 Upvotes

So I have an OG REPR Mk1 I bought at auction about a year ago. Haven't had many chances to shoot it as most of the shooting ranges around me are 50 yard indoor ranges. I have however shot it enough to be concerned about an issue with the barrel.

When the gun heats up, I've noticed a huge POI shift, like 3-4 inches at 100 yards. I believe the issue is caused by the handguard making contact with the piston block.

I have had a difficult time getting ahold of someone since the gun can only be serviced by them from what I've read. Anyone have experience with customer service as a second owner? Wait time, cost for service, those kind of things?

Ic 9 long term review?

5 Upvotes

There is still very little information online and on YouTube about this gun. Who has one that can provide me with a long-term review on accuracy and feeding reliability with mixed ammo?! Mainly looking at the 8.5” variant.

Best K suppressors that works well on the DI and SPR?

5 Upvotes

Can anyone suggest one K suppressor that would work well on both my 16in DI and 16in SPR? Does the SPR do well with cans?

Considering an IC DI as my first higher end AR

15 Upvotes

Hey, I'm new here, but an experienced shooter. Have several home build / budget buy ARs and wanting to pick up a good factory gun to start some serious training and classes and such with. I can get an IC DI 16 inch 5.56 with an mlok handguard for 1300 brand new due to range employee discounts and was wondering if this is a good buy or if anyone has any better recommendations. For a bit of reasoning, im a lefty and absolutely love the mirrored controls.

Secondary question, any uppers that would go well on a completed lower but not interfere with the ambi controls?

SMG-45 with frt/frankenstien trip

Running frt with trip suppressed and trigger slap is insane and painful. Anyone else expierence this. Rate of fire was also insane. Wondering if it is due to suppressor. Didn’t try it without suppressor attached.

My REPR after I got it back from Lwrc. It spent two months at Lwrc for a bad gas block. Got a new barrel and new gas block. First and only time I took it to the range it did 3/10 at 1000 yards even with the bad gas block. Have not shot it since getting it back. Plan to this week.

flat trigger shoe?

4 Upvotes

For the most part I like my DI triggers, but is there easy way to upgrade to flat? Are they just milspec? Any recommendations?

The REPR needed to reunite with his little brother before the VA AWB.

She's a bit heavy, but she's still beautiful.

I posted my digital mockup in an earlier post, but here is an actual pic of the LWRC IC SPR in its current form. I've had it for over 10 years and shot thousands of rounds through it, and it has never had a malfunction that wasn't my fault. Eventually I will replace the Aimpoint Pro with a T2 and Juliet 4 magnifier.

Build list:

- 14.5" LWRC IC SPR - OD Greed
- LWRC stock, grip, & rail scales
- LWRC backup iron sights
- Geissele SD-E trigger
- Surefire mini-scout w/ Arisaka FDE body
- Aimpoint Pro
- Griffin Armament Dual-Lok TACTICAL COMPENSATOR
- Griffin Armament Dual-Lok hub adapter
- CAT WB 718 Hub Suppressor
- Radian Raptor Charging Handle - NIB
- Radian Talon safety selector - NIB
- ODIN Works XMR 2 Extended Mag Release FDE

IC-DI 9mm conversion

3 Upvotes

I recently did a PCSL 2-gun competition and it was awesome! But .223 is costly enough for me to just want to run 9mm for competition.

I tried doing some research on 9mm conversions in general but found most info was old, items were out of stock (Aero is now defunkt?) and info was all over the place.

Anyone have leads on how to convert a milspec AR (I have the IC-DI) to a 9mm PCC? I assumed a full upper swap was all that was necessary, but without Aero available I am at a loss.
