Lots of people wondering what happened to the LWRC M6AK
We sold off the last of the M6AK rifles a few months ago but people are still calling and asking about them. I remember being in the LWRC facility a few years ago and it was just at the beginning of the product run. I was told second hand that the M6AK rifle was made of left over parts from the other M6 rifles and it was a one off product thing. I have seen a lot of the Smith & Wesson 5.45×39 uppers go out the door with very few complaints, but I never thought it was a great idea to make a gun in 5.45×39 that was a direct impingement gun. Just too damn dirty if you ask me.
The LWRC guns were all sold out and gone about a year and half after production and that was it. As far as AR15 complete upper receivers, The Adams 5.45×39 seems to be the next hot seller. You will have to replace the spring in your lower so expect to designate a lower for this caliber. It’s not a good idea to be lazy and not replace the hammer spring on your firearm. The great thing about AR15 uppers is how interchangeable they are but once you get into caliber variations, you probable want to just get another gun.
