Images – L129A2s On The Ranges

With the fellas (they’ll hate me for calling them that).

Even though the existence of this has been fully public for years, there are few pictures of them that come up on google images, despite the fact they are proliferating fairly widely through both the army and the marines. Hence, when a top bloke sent me an IG DM from his recent trip, I asked if I could post these up.

For those unfamiliar, the rifle is based on the LMT MARS-H. It’s originally an 18″ barrel 6.5CM version of the LMT and uses a classic DI type gas system, but with a monolithic upper receiver featuring M-LOK handguard. The A2 has full ambi controls on the lower receiver.

There are a couple of slight variations in service, because other photos show them with longer barrels, Huxwrx muzzle devices and associated flow-through silencers, along with Leupold scopes. These examples however have the 16″ barrel presumably still in 7.62×51, 4 prong @surefire_llc flash hider (/eliminator) from the A1 rifles and older optics.

Also shown here are: Trijicon 6x ACOG + RMR stack (sometimes painted tan), Harris bipod on adapter and the mystery meat issue QD bungee sling. The stocks aren’t actually coming loose, these LMT DMR stocks can be clicked in and out much like a typical M4 stock, in addition to having the granular adjustment for the butt pad via screw thread.

L129s are imported in to the UK by a pretty opaque company called LEI – Law Enforcement International (very standard lack of public info for UK businesses in this field). If you Google LEI silencers however you can find old listings a few of their products and one Small Arms Review article detailing how apparently they made updated DeLisle style rifles through the late 80s up to 2001.

Thanks again to the mate who took these.
