FAQ: Why choose LMT? Lewis Machine & Tool Company (LMT) was founded in 1980 to provide the US military, law enforcement and government agencies with high quality weapons and components. Their quality has become recognized domestically and internationally and earned the distinction of being a General Services Administration (GSA) Supplier. They have been awarded numerous special forces, law enforcement, and military contracts for their rifle's competitive stress test wins and have achieved the highest level of factory quality with ISO 9001:2000 certification. What is Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) and High Pressure Testing (HPT)?The barrels are HPT (High Pressure Testing) tested which is a process wherein a proof load rated at 70,000 psi (far exceeding the pressure of a normal round) is fired trough the barrel. The barrel is then tested with a non-destructive process called MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspection). MPI is a process that utilizes magnetic powder to detect any flaws in the barrel extension and barrel from the proof load. Many manufacturers only MPI a couple rifles a batch. EVERY LMT barrel is MP tested and engraved as such. What is Included? - LMT Barreled and headspaced forged M4 upper

Can you put .223 Remington ammo in a 5.56 upper? Yes, you can put .223 into a 5.56 chambered upper, but NOT the other way around due to pressure related issues with slight variations in the chamber (5.56 are slightly longer). Do NOT purchase a rifle chambered in .223 if you EVER plan on shooting any military NATO 5.56 ammo, which is the most common, least expensive and most widely used AR15 cartridge available in all the world. The problem is NATO cartridges have bullets that will become jammed into the rifling of a SAAMI .223 chambering (the throat is too short). This is VERY DANGEROUS, for a lot of reasons. For best accuracy, 5.56 is recommended but .223 will shoot fine and safely.
