[ARCHIVED THREAD] - MRP badness #2 (Page 4 of 51)
Damn, it is going to be an expensive month... Any thoughts on which length barrel to get with a 6.8? I'm thinking 16" so no SBR issues... Spooky |
Yes, a 16" for sure, at least that's what I'm thinking. |
Yes, since the "rumor" is out in the open, LMT is introducing a 6.8" MRP at Shot. The package I am bringing in is a CQB combo package consisting of 1 16" 5.56 setup as well as a 6.8" 16" barrel, bolt and magazine. |
|
I've been out of the AR scene for a while now.... but what kind of stocks are on these rifles? They look similar to a typical CAR stock, but also quite a bit unique. Can anyone post up a link for me? Thanks! *** NEVERMIND! I'm a tool..... did a search and found it's the LMT SOPMOD! |
|
I'm going to let you guys beta test the SS barrels and tell me which one is most accurate - my 18" SS 5.56 is not doing as well as I would hope (I'm probably the one at fault!). I'll probably start with a 16" chromelined. Does anyone have much experience with 16" barreled 6.8s? Are they louder than a 16" 5.56? Spooky |
From WES at MSTN in another thread:
Can't wait for my 6.8 barrel and bolt! Spooky |
#3 may be the only thing upcoming that would cause me to consider selling my MRP. |
My dealer just recieved a call back from LMT regarding the 6.8SPC barrels for the MRP.The rep from LMT stated that the barrels will be available ONLY as a MRP CQB kit, which includes a MRP upper, 223 barrel, 223 bolt, 6.8 barrel,6.8 bolt and one 6.8 mag.She also stated that she didn't know if or when the 6.8 barrel will be available alone.Has anyone heard anything from LMT ?

M.S.T.N. ORDERED A LARGE NUMBER OF MRP 6.8 SPC BARRELS, BOLT CARRIER GROUPS, BOLTS, ETC., JUST PRIOR TO THE SHOT SHOW. YOUR STATEMENT TO THE CONTRARY SIMPLY DID NOT SOUND LIKE THE OPPORTUNISTIC APPROACH THAT LMT WOULD ADOPT. YET, YOUR POST CAUSED ME CONCERN, SO I CONTACTED LMT. I AM GLAD TO STATE THAT YOUR DEALER IS INCORRECT. THE 6.8 SPC BARRELS, BOLT CARRIER GROUPS, AND BOLTS WILL BE SOLD SEPARATELY. ALL OF THIS HAVING BEEN SAID, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT A 16 - 20 WEEK E.T.A., ACCORDING TO LMT. WES GRANT M.S.T.N. |
So I have 4 or 5 months to save the money? Sounds like that will work out just perfect!!! WES I already asked to be added to the list! Don't forget me! Also, SMGLee said LMT was going to put out a .204 Ruger barrel for the MRP - did anyone else hear this? Spooky |
Here is the wrench that I am probably going to get: LINK I think that the LMT instructions say 140 Inch/Lbs, but I may be wrong. |
LMT rep called back and corrected herself.All is well.  Thanks WES |
I ordered a 6,8 barrel and B.C. group only direct at the Shot Show with 16-20 week out time as well. They did tell me ONLY 16" barrels at this time with no info on the 14.5".  Wes Grant stated it best, "If you need more than a 14.5" 6.8, call in a JDAM!!!" Absolutely hilarious but true! 
|
Hey Vic, Did you get another 223 barrel? |
That is the exact wrench I have and it works perfectly and quickly for barrel changes. They are kind of expensive, however after using it a couple dozen times I had it checked and it was exactly on 140 inlbs. I had talked to the manufacturer regarding calibration and they said considering the level of use it would see it was a non-issue and figured re-calibration would probably never be needed and only advised checking it periodically.  |
I may have seen you post something on here about the torque wrech before, I know it was on this site that I first saw it. Alos, Nice setup! I hope to be ordering an MRP CQB pretty soon! |
With the Seekonk wrench it is too easy, just pick up the wrench, no torque to set (most torque wrenches I have had require you to reset them to the minimum for storage), no T-30 torx to find (just leave it on the wrench), spin the front bolt out, turn rear bolt out 3-4 complete turns, remove & replace barrel, replace and tighten front bolt and then tighten rear.

Well I just got my MRP CQB mated to my new LMT Lower!Wow, I am really impressed with LMT's products once again.I will get some pics once I get VFG and Eotech mounted.And make it to the range for a thourough "break-in". I also scored a Seeknok 300 lb. in. toruque wrench (new) off of ebay for $12.

Sweet 'bout time you bought an S&B - what do you think of it?  |
What do I think of it.... I like my ACOG better  The Short Dot is rather heavy/bulky and has a blue tint, I knew this while looking through one months ago, but I got a great deal on it so I had to buy it  The red dot doesn't seem to be visible until I turn it up to 6 and above, is that normal? I just assume from 0 to 5 are all NV settings  What I didn' t know though, was the ACOG 4x32 has a wider FOV. |
Would that be a 14.5" or 16" bbl? It's hard to get a perspective on these things. |
