A Huldra would be my first choice if I were interested in a gas piston rifle. Nothing wrong with LMT, though. Likewise, LWRC makes an excellent gas piston rifle.
That price is very compelling as well...It is about half of gas piston uppers I have seen out there. One thing I like about the LMT and Mega Arms offerings is that the forearm is integral to the upper so that the pushrod channel could never vary from how it was designed. It might save on weight as well but I can't find that specification yet. I need to get through a couple more handgun training courses before I do anything with my AR so things might change by then. But it is good to know of another less expensive, vetted option out there...thanks!

Yes, one should not jam Q-tips in the inner workings of their firearms
