questions about LMT AR-15

[000Buck]

After some "issues" with non "tier 1" ARs, I would like to get a milspec AR. After lots of research, I am looking at an LMT. Does everyone that has an LMT that isnt govt issued buy the lower and upper seperately? Or is there a way to get a complete rifle?

Also, is there any reason I would later wish I would have gotten a Colt in your opinions? I have seen quite a few threads saying Colt is the only way to go, and I can see why it is over some of the gun show ARs, but not over LMT, Sabre, etc.

Is there any difference in quality between what a civilian gets and the for the govt made LMTs? I dont want to end up with yet another AR and later find out it is not what I was looking for(as close to perfeciton as possible). I would like to start taking some carbine classes and want to start off with something most likely to work best.

Thanks

LMT won;t sell complete guns to civilians for some reasons. You could buy a complete lower of any reputable manufacturer and then buy a complete LMT upper (and those are easy to get a hold of).

Quality is good from LMT, one of the best.

I am also not aware of Lewis Machine and Tool selling complete civilian legal firearms either and I don't live very far from them.
Excellent high quality merchandise on what they do sell, civilian or military.

Top notch quality. But no, they do not sell complete rifles to civilians.
