On a personal note I would like to see it in an 18 inch barrel for starters but will take it in pretty much any configuration which comes out. If the quality turns out to be the same as their 5.56 carbines, it will be a rifle well worth having. I am in the market for a larger caliber AR for hunting and longer range shooting. This would fit the bill nicely if it comes out in a reasonable time frame. LMT really needs to make this rifle.

The best thing is obviously the quick change barrel feature in my opinion. I know I’m in the process of building a LMT MRP already.

The Vltor monolithic receiver cost over $600 for 5.56. The LMT 308 will cost twice as much. So you looking at over $3000 for the complete rifle. I'm not sure if LMT monolithic are one piece CNC milled. I do know that Vltor weld two separate pieces(receiver and rail) together. Monolithic receivers are nice but I don't think the cost justify any perceived advantages it might have. It will cost you tho.
