Thread: LMT MARS-L How are they working out for the NZDF?.

I have a long list of gripes but then I am a lefty and I had used a lot of different rifles before the IW Steyr. I found that a few of NZDF who had learned to shoot with one liked them but most people who shot outside in civi street didn't. Interestingly my first issue one was Austrian made and it was definitely made better than an Australian one.
Tried shooting a Steyr while wearing body armor? No LOP adjustment.
The trigger was definitely horrible.
donuts scope = horrible
jammed something chronic with sand (dirt wasn't such a problem)
plastic charging handle breaking off it's steel sprue
lots of small parts to loose in a feild strip
horrible safety
but cap retention thingee = horrible
mag change and chamber behind your face so more difficult to visualy check

in a vehicle or urban combat where lenght is crucial they definitely have some good points
