| Does anyone know if you can use a 14.5" barrel in the Rifle length Upper? Suppose I wanted an MRP with both a 14.5" and an 18" barrel. Would I have to have two uppers? |

No you do not need two uppers, the MRP is specifically designed to allow the swap out of barrels. To swap out barrels, just unfasten the two bolts on the side of the upper remove barrel (slide it straight out), insert new barrel (slide it straight in), and tighten and torque the two bolts to 140 IN/LB. Takes about 2-3 minutes. |

A 10.5" barrel will be well inside the hand guard, you'd be hard pressed to find anything that will fit inside the MRP, its diameter is rather small. Maybe a .22 suppressor, but you wouldn't want to use a .22 can on a .223 weapon. Below is a pic I took to show three different rail panels. On the left is a TandoDown panel, bottom is KAC, right is TangoDown's SCAR rail panel. Anyway, you can see for yourself, there isn't a lot of room inside the hand guard.  Another view.  Maybe Noveske's flaming pig brake/flash suppressor would fit, I haven't tried it, but it'd look kind of silly, I don't care for the MP5SD looks on an AR. ETA: I don't believe the Noveske piggy brake will fit. |
That, is, awesome. One of the sexiest rifles I've seen. |
