Number of employees 100-150 Website Lewis Machine & Tool Company (LMT) is an American armaments company. It was founded by Karl Lewis in 1980.
LMT started its business by providing US law enforcement and government agencies with military type weapons and accessories. Subsequently they expanded to supply military and commercial retailers. All of LMT's engineering and manufacturing is done at their facility in Milan, Illinois. LMT manufactures complete weapon systems such as the / and the. The of both the United Kingdom and, and the use LMT products. Contents.
Products LM308MWS and CQB MRP Defender LMT created the Monolithic Rail Platform (MRP). The MRP is a one piece upper receiver for the /M4/ platform and is made from a single aluminum forging. The LMT MRP has a quad rail system that utilizes the.
It is available in two different lengths, one standard rifle length and the other for Close Quarters Battle (CQB). The MRP upper receiver has a quick change barrel system that allows the operator to change the caliber or the barrel length of the weapon in a very short period of time (≈ 1 minute). The MRP also features a, relatively low temperature to handguard and optics, long barrel life, easy-to-access/clean design, a straight gas tube resists bending and retains better alignment with gas key as compared to other designs, and a relatively low number of parts (13). Also, its top rail position matches M4 and E3-type weapons ensuring optics and sight compatibility and accepts standard and enhanced M16-type (Stoner design) components. In late 2009, LMT introduced the.308 Modular Weapon System LM308MWS. The LM308MWS uses the round. The LM308MWS is based on the proven design with some new features including the MRP upper receiver.
An effective range of 800m and have been reported. LMT is currently supplying 16', 18' and 20' 1:11¼' twist (rifling grooves complete one full revolution inside the bore every 11.25 inches) blackened stainless match barrels, as well as 16' and 20' chrome-lined chrome-moly 1:10' twist barrels for the civilian market.

In 2009, Lewis Machine & Tool Co was contracted to supply the (MOD) with 440 LM308MWS 7.62×51mm rifles under the official service designation as the L129A1. As of December 2014, over 3,000 units have been supplied to UK forces. The LM308MWS was then submitted for the British MOD's Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) for immediate deployment of a semiautomatic caliber sharpshooter rifle in Afghanistan. Other rifles submitted included the, and XR-10. LMT's rifle was chosen, earning it the L129A1 designation and entered service April 2010 in Afghanistan. Greg Felton of Law Enforcement International of the UK explained: “The ammunition criteria stated by the MOD was that the rifle was to be able to use both RG 155-grain sniper ammunition, plus M80 ball and tracer, including de-linked machine gun belts.
In the end during their trials with the various competitors, they found that the 155-grain fired so much better than the standard ball that it was made the official issue ammunition for the weapon. As to what it is “matched to,” we (Karl & I) designed the rifle to use both standard ball and 168-grain Match. With a 1:11.25 inch twist it works well with these weights, however, the heavier 175-grain projectiles need a faster twist for best results at longer ranges.” The primary optic chosen by the British for the L129A1 is a Trijicon ACOG TA648-RMR-UKS (NSN: 1005-99-305-9104).

The ACOG’s body is made of 7075 T6 aircraft aluminum, the same as the rifle’s receiver. A fiber-optic powers the reticle during daylight hours and a tritium light source in low or no light conditions. The aiming chevron’s brightness is adjustable by the user.
The unit’s reticle has a built-in bullet drop compensator for 7.62×51mm NATO from 100 to 1,200 meters. To transition from long range to close-quarter battle, there is a Picatinny rail on the ACOG’s top that accepts a 1.2-ounce Trijicon 1× LED Rugged Miniature Reflex sight with a red dot powered by a CR2032 battery. Additional accessories include the optional L17A2 Schmidt & Bender 3-12 × 50 Sniper Scope, the OTIS 7.62mm Sniper Cleaning System, a small Dewey rod to clean the chamber, a front sight adjustment tool and a rail-mounted, quick-detachable sling mount so the sling may be mounted anywhere on the rail. The LM308MWS standard US commercial model differs slightly from the UK issued L129A1 in the following aspects:.
1) the barrel is a 16' fully chrome-lined, cryogenically treated, 1:10 right-hand twist chrome-moly machine gun grade steel, instead of the 16', 1:11¼' twist matte-black stainless steel barrel on the L129A1. It is crowned with LMT's special crown design, designed for maximum accuracy with ordinary ball ammunition. 2) the muzzle device is a standard M16A2 type flash suppressor instead of the SureFire suppressor mount.
3) the sights are the LMT detachable fixed sights instead of the Knight's Armament Company's low-profile folding micro back-up iron 200-600 rear sight and folding front sight. 4) the supplied furniture—LMT SOPMOD stock, Ergo suregrip, rail covers from Tango Down—is black instead of the tan/coyote brown supplied to the UK MoD. 5) the receiver is marked 'LM308MWS', instead of 'L129A1.' There is also a UK commercial variants of the L129A1 and the CQB MRP Defender. Designated the LMT308SP and CQB 5.56SP the modelS are a straight pull action rifle, and not a semi-auto due to UK laws. The New Zealand Army adopted the rifle in October 2011.
It differs from its UK counterpart in the use of a Leupold adjustable 4.5-14× scope, canted iron sights and a foldable foregrip.
