AmmoLand reviews Lima Six belt-fed AR-15 upper after 2,000 rounds

Reported by Page 5 – AmmoLand Shooting Sports News. Daily Gun News has not independently confirmed this.

AmmoLand Shooting Sports News published a review on September 30, 2026 of the Lima Six, a belt-fed upper receiver built for the AR-15 platform. According to the review, the upper is chambered in 5.56.

The reviewer reports firing 2,000 rounds through the upper during testing. AmmoLand's account says the Lima Six is a working product rather than a concept, and that it kept running through that round count.

The reviewer's overall view is favorable. AmmoLand describes the Lima Six as possibly the most exciting 5.56 upper to reach the market in several years. That assessment is the outlet's own opinion, based on its testing.

The full review is available from AmmoLand.
