Really nice shooting by the way the barrel can only take you so far the rest is on you and you outdid yourself! It's a Mike Rock barrel. Definitely not a rock river barrel. http://www.rockcreekbarrels.com/ |

Today was one of those range trips that reminds me why the hell I love the 2nd. I have never come close to owning a firearm as accurate as this new MRP Recce w. Rock SS 16"..... its ASTONISHING and I personally would bet my pink slip that this is the most accurate 16" or even 18" 5.56 barrel made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not hard to completely sell out to the MRP platform from a number of different routes however if AR precision is your niche.....the Rock SS 16" and Rock SPR 18" in conjunct w. a stretch chassis is EASILY the most accurate ARs I shot, read about or even could have dreamed about. This new SS 16" has shot every type of ammo I tried better group wise than one particular barrel shot any one of the particular rounds. That is simply unparalleled in terms of being able to feed the damn thing anything and get basically moa or sub moa results. Sorry guys, I am done bragging but I just never have seen anything come close to what this new rig does. http://i54.tinypic.com/fzaq0h.jpg Start out w. my two constant loads.......Hornady 5.56 75gr. TAP T2 and Hornady 55gr. Vmax http://i52.tinypic.com/dpbzf7.jpg These next three should illustrate just how well this barrel shoots in terms of whatever the hell you have on hand....... Monarch/Academy Sports 55gr. FMJBT........Never once got a group under 2.5-3moa with it.(This group is arguably the most impressive of the day using such terrible ammo for accuracy) Remington Accu-Tip 55gr........One of the most disappointing rounds imho considering its supposed to be Rem's equivilent to my lil main stay the Hornady 55gr.vmax(never got this stuff under 2" before and the box today just like usual had mixed primers, brass and I would assume even projectiles...screw Remington) Lastly, the only other "Match" ammo used today besides the TAP T2....and it did ok, 10rds. at 1.04"....never really shot this stuff so cannot really judge past and present accuracy but moa or below works for me. http://i53.tinypic.com/2wp5lvr.jpg Eta....The brakeout is spectacular but got maligned by the first real AAR on the new 16" SS mrp barrel. The large port at 12 o'clock and then the two large side ports at 3 and 9 o'clock absolutely lock this rig down when using a bipod...aka eliminates bipod bounce and its amazing how by just adding that new muzzle device this rig never loses the target sight picture through the glass between shots. Kinda scared by using brakes or radical muzzle devices on precision guns and usually prefer just a standard 51t blackout but this brakeout is a helluva piece of kit....I def. hate my old fsc556 now and wish I only had bought this sooner. The first few in the beginning in the 18" SPR model were done in 1/8ths....Edwin has one that he says is quite accurate and groups most loads very nicely but perhaps not capable of plotting the T2 or MK262 in ridiculously small groups like his Rock 16" SS (1/7th). So ever since the first batch or two they have all been 1/7ths. My 18" SPR that is about 14 months old was my favorite barrel and my most accurate AR but this new 16" SS is something else imho. Some of the badness folks can tell about how long I have been talking about this Rock 16" SS and then the whole debate b/t the Rock 16" SS vs 18" SPR....I cannot stomach to admit my conclusion so far but lets just say I prob. have no use now for my MRP SPR....I should know soon just how useless the SPR really is but the writing is already on the wall. I am officially in the extreme minority in saying that in the world of precision based Recce/Recons and SPRs/MK 12's I am actually gonna take a recce over the spr/mk12. I easily love the 16" vs 18" precision AR concept more than any other AR concept/platform and its just too much fun to run with the NSW-C org. idea and explore all the nuisances to it. I prob. could get all my kicks in just this thread along with the spr and mk 12 threads and of course #3 I am calling out Edwin's Rock SS 16" to a duel just for the record but that guy never comes around anymore..... eta...perhaps you made the ultimate right call with the sopmod vs. the ubr as it really does look fantastic in the above pic and brings out more compactness for some reason or at least in my eye in your overall config. What tube are you running....if its the LMT, than you are straight up hydraulic |

Thanks Clearly not my style but hey...even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally or in my case puts a group together The MRP barrel thing is def. confusing for most folks given LMT makes all their standard upper barrels in house IIrc....however every LMT sold MRP or now MWS barrel is made by Mike Rock at Rock Creek Barrels who has a very similar style of building barrels to Barrett "Boots" Obermeyer who he apprenticed under. In terms of specs: Its a 1/7th 16" SS w. LMT's proprietary MRP barrel contour that both the CL and SS models share. |

Awesome, was deciding between the breakout and sm556(different version of fsc for silencer, but i just like the looks of the sm over the fsc), Its gonna be permed so i dont want to make the wrong choice... looks like its the breakout BTW, I cant wait to graduate and get a "bigboy" job... first paycheck im building a recce. Gonna be lookin into those mike rock barrels. |

RePp-Cool name drop and maybe the most ironic post all in one |
What length is that barrel? I like that stock and wanted to put one on my rifle(a work in progress, but has a 16'' barrel) wasn't sure if it would be ridiculous on one of these. |

Ok. What is the "best" configuration for a Recce?
If I started with a BCM RECCE-14 Mod 0 what would be the ideal modifications? |

That and a magnified optic. The profile of the barrel is important as well. No lightweight or bull barrels - they have their own unique profile, and usually a 1:8 twist. |
