The barrel is held in place with a proprietary locking system that utilizes two locking bolts accessible from the right side of the receiver. The only tool needed is a standard T-30 Torx bit to tighten the bolts. This receiver requires the patented LMT monolithic barrel assembly which has a low profile gas block with straight gas tube.

Purchased this 12” LMT Shovelnose upper a few weeks back and have to say, it is the smoothest piston AR platform I’ve ever owned. Most piston AR’s are more snappy than DI, but not this one. Very accurate as well. The Rooftop Defense team were also excellent. Super fast communications and shipping.Great buying experience all around and I’ll be back.
