Well, this afternoon 04RWon obliged me to accompany him to ACG so that I could zero my new LWRC.
I had planned on brining my camera along and taking pictures with the intent to be able to share some a provide a range report but I forgot my camera
Although I don't suppose it matters much because our day was cut short.. Approximately 120 rounds were fired through the rifle, and after the 4th magazine was empty I cleared the rifle and when I sat it down I spotted a small black piece of metal fall onto the bench from the handguard area. After some time letting the can cool down we took it and the rail off to discover that the spring cup had a catastrophic failure... It was cracked on one side and a big piece was sheared off of the other.. along with the spring itself being bent out of whack. All rounds except for 1 were fired suppressed (should have seen the dirty looks we got from the whole line for that 1 shot) because it was uber obnoxious with the short barrel and muzzle brake. Most rounds were shot in relatively slow succession as we were taking 5 shot groups to zero in the irons and then the Eotech. The only exception being the last magazine which was fired relatively fast with the entire magazine emptied in about 25 seconds. All factory ammunition was used and all except for one magazine was PMC 62gr. The gun, other than this ran fine with no malfunctions of any kind. I haven't fully disassembled the rifle and really scrutinized every single part but after and fairly thorough one over I cannot find any other damage or signs of damage/wear. I got back home about 1 minute before LWRC closed up shop so I have to call them sometime tomorrow, In the mean time... what say you? 
PS
04RWon, Your awesome, it was great meeting you and thanks again for letting me tag along with you today... and thanks the the random stranger who was working at ACG spraying for bugs or something who happened to have a set of allen keys in his pocket so I could get my light and rail off and 04RWon could get his stock on
