r/LWRC

Quite possibly the coolest thing I ever bought. I am rolling. 🤣

Purchased my 1st LWRC IC-9 8.5 from EuroOptic.

My wife and I have several other firearms and after some consideration, It was time for a new pew pew toy.

Ordered the LWRC IC-9 8.5 in FDE finish with some accessories. Didn't want to go too over the top like I did with my Geissele Super Duty MOD1 with accessories but did order a few things.

HOLOSUN 510V & HM3X combo in black

OLIGHT ODIN S

MAGPUL M-LOK HAND STOP

Set of iron sights

LANTAC DRAGON 9MM MUZZLE BRAKE

The only thing I'm concern about is the muzzle brake. Being in NJ I highly doubt it would be required but I figured better to have it anyway incase they do need it. Also ordered an additional mag. Hasn't shipped yet but all of my accessories will arrive by tomorrow.

Excited to get and throw on the accessories.

Just picked up a new LWRC and didn’t realize the finish was off from the hand guard and the receiver. The lighting in my LGS must’ve been off for me to not notice. Has this happened to anyone else? Kind of a bummer for a $1600 rifle to have this large of a variance in finish.

Picking up a flow cam next week. Hopefully that law goes through so I don’t have to wait.
LWRC m6ic 300 black out.

For context, I’m in California so we have to have neutered AR15’s.

I have a Geissele Super Duty, S&W M&P Sport 3 and a Franken-build already.

I wanted something “mid tier” so it was between the LWRC M6iC Discovery or a Colt EPR2.

Ultimately loved the fit and finish of the LWRC so got it on sale.

I could care less about the ambi controls but may add those later.

I did notice that the BCG on the discovery is black phosphate coated and not the nickel coated.

Are the LWRC skirmish sights worth the price?
