Talk:LR-300

Untitled
This article's title doesn't follow the normal wikipedia format, so I'd like to move it to "Z-M Weapons LR 300". If you have any objections, post here. - Tronno ( t | c ) 23:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Operation rod
"The gas key is extended beyond its normal length to form an operation rod, such as an M14 or AK47"

This is wrong, gas key on LR 300 works exactly like gas key on other AR15s, it's just longer. It's not anything close to M14 oprod or AK oprod (not to mention that M14 and AK47 oprods are quite different from each other either..). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.24.69.115 (talk) 09:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * While not the same as the M14 or AK, one can argue the op rod status as the LR300's extended gas key now controls the recoil spring. --D.E. Watters (talk) 12:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. Oprod is oprod because it controls bolt carrier, not because of recoil spring. Recoil system is "different animal". However I do not mean it's "not" oprod (they call it like that even in rifle's manual), it's just different one from mentioned rifles. Although I admit, that it looks similar to AK oprod on the first look > http://www.flickr.com/photos/39101852@N06/3616802784/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.24.69.115 (talk) 17:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The extended gas key is physically attached to the bolt carrier. --D.E. Watters (talk) 18:37, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Um.. yes it is, but that's short key on other ARs as well. I really don't get what's your point now. There are oprods conected (AK) but also not conected (SKS) to carrier. And again, I don't questioning oprod status itself, I just believe that used formulation is misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.24.69.115 (talk) 10:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Picture link and reference contain malware.
The picture link and reference cotains material leading to malware, and a page that disguises itself as windows defence. It appears to be temporary, as I don't know a site like image shack to be prone to hosting viruses. The link does't exist anymore in my history, so it was obviousley temporary. The User who added it, (User:Weapons Specialist 666) seems a bit shady, (User:ClueBot) already issued a warning to him. But I'm not taking any actions.

This entire article...
Aside from lacking citations and sources, it feels almost like a sales brochure, especially with the models listed at the end and their pricetags. 95.109.102.242 (talk) 13:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Article Improvement?
Obviously this page doesn't get much of any attention whatsoever. I'll try and find some sources over the course of the next few following days, and maybe reword this page to be a little more concise and... "formal". This is one of my favorite firearms visually, so hopefully I do the article justice. Hey, maybe more people will visit, too. If anybody else comes along, feel free to help out.

EDIT: I picked through the sources, and they seem pretty good. I think maybe a couple more could be ideal. I doubt any serious changes can happen for awhile while I study these and get a good idea of what I can change. I'll keep this post updated for the time being.

 * So, I have just made the foundations of the next improvement of the article, but it'll need a few days work on my part. Might not be completed for awhile, so I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance, Info-Deathmatch (talk) 00:31, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
