LMT® reference to the weapon contracted by United Kingdom Ministry of Defence designated the L129A1. This reference weapon brings you as close as you can get to the true rifle system provided to the UK.
LMT® patented monolithic Modular Weapon System, MWS®. The only true monolithic rail platform, milled from a single solid piece of aerospace aluminum forging. It utilizes two locking bolts accessible from the side of the receiver to lock in the barrel extension. This patented technology engages the barrel extension for a full 360 degrees around the extension and makes the barrel removable within seconds with a return to zero of the same barrel. One receiver can utilize numerous barrels of varying length, material, and caliber.
The CQBMWS upper receiver has 19.25" of uninterrupted picatinny rail on the 12 o’clock position. 9" of picatinny rail on 3 and 9 o’clock positions with 7" of rail at the 6 o’clock position.
MWS® barrels utilize a low profile gas block and straight gas tube. They possess proprietary coating and are cryogenically treated for long term durability.
The LM308MWS lower receiver features LMT’s EDM machined two-stage trigger, ambidextrous magazine release and safety selector, endplate with QD swivel point, LMT® ergonomic textured grip, and SOPMOD stock. As with all LMT® lower receivers, the extension tube is coated with dry film lubricant.
This weapon system comes with one magazine, owner’s manual, flip-up front and rear sights, 2 heavy duty push button swivels, and 3 rail panels.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 7.62X51mm NATO cartridge was adopted by the U.S. in the M14 rifle in 1957. NATO adopted it in the same year, but in other platforms. The 7.62X51mm is essentially a shortened 30-06 case, allowing a more compact action and more compact ammunition at very minor cost in performance. A side benefit--which might not have been anticipated--is improved accuracy because of the greater efficiency of the shorter case. Although 7.62X51mm has been largely supplanted by the 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge in service rifles, it is still widely used by militaries around the world and remains a primary cartridge for light and medium machineguns. Due to its exceptional accuracy it is also a very common cartridge for military sniping at ranges to a bit beyond 1000 yards. The civilian version, the 308 Winchester, was introduced in 1952 while the 7.62X51MM was still in the experimental stages. — Craig Boddington
