Thanks for the feedback gents. MRP owner feedback is best feedback
Seems like the E carrier shines in 14.5" and under ARs, and with suppressed ARs. LMT however says nothing about not using it any say a 16" or 18" barreled AR. I got a cpl. normal LMT bolts already, so I'd like to go ahead, and use one of those. |

Correct...LMT does not use the E BCG on anything midlength or longer gas systems from LMT...
The E BCG was designed for 14.5" carbine gas guns or smaller. |

KAC's sandcutter carrier is pure tits, but LMT's E-carrier has significant enhancements/features to benefit a rifle overall. |

I love ARs in general, but as time grows on any significant amount of money I spend in the AR realm goes to LMT or KAC.
It's really neat to see how close LMT and KAC have remained all these years, especially in today's marketplace where companies sue each other left and right. I'd love to know the inner working of that whole relationship. They should be arch rivals, as their products seem to compete heavily against each other. Found these pics on TOS...any thoughts? Obviously Estonia related.

Cool Estonia Contract pics. Thanks. I wonder if the upper receiver is the same specs as mine or if they made a new forging for the Piston op rod and gas block.... It looks the same. I wouldn't veer far from the LMT BCG, sand cuts or no...The KAC Sand Cut carries look cool and I'm sure serve their purpose, but to what quantifiable end.
FYI if anyone was interested I spoke to Kenetic Development Group about using one of their MLOK Segments for an ATLAS Bipod. They advised that a 7 slot segment would be needed. They further advised that the segment would be GTG on a 5.56 Platform, but wasn't recommended for a 7.62 rifle.....FWIW. Only new update I have on my builds are two MIADS inbound, purchased with funds from selling new take off ERGO Grips and an LMT Rear Sight. I think I'm going to sell three LMT New Take off Ambi safety's and two New LMT take off 2-stage triggers next and replace with BAD-CASS Selectors and either Geissle or Wilson Triggers... I've always had Geissle's but the TTU's from Wilson have a good track record. Took my Green Machine MWS out today to a measly 310 yds pre-coyote hunt. I need to permanently hang steel to make shooting at respectable distances not such a hassle. Shooting papers sucks and I forgot to pack my spotting scope. |

My MLR from the sale finally made it to me. This one isn't quite as nice as my first one but it'll do. Moved everything over from a quad rail cqb chassis. It's the top one in pic below.
FWIW, the top one is set up with factory 16" barrel and as shown without optics, rail covers, and mag it weighs in just under 7 lbs. Not light but not bad really for such a bomb proof stick.  Attached File |

I wish I had found this thread back in August when I ordered a MWS MLOK upper and barrel and bolt, and ambi charging handle. It had to go back to LMT twice . It wouldn`t head space for my gunsmith after I had trouble getting the BCG to go into battery, The had two ambi charging handles crack at the pin sites.
Joe Collins and Gene Swanson ultimately got the upper taken care of, They said it had a tight chamber but was within spec. The first time I shot it with CBC M 80 7.62 , I had multiple failures to extract, I had multiple mags that didn`t want to drop free. I was on the verge of returning it for a refund. I tried it a second time with Winchester .308 FMJ, Lake City M80, and Federal Gold Medal Match with much better results. I only had 1 FTE. So my parts build is ammo sensitive. My factory build MWS eats anything. I have been tempted to pick up MRP MLOK upper. I already have a MARS lower, but now I`m leery. And now I`m reading here you have to remove the barrel to mount MLOK accessories? Is that true for both the 5.56 and .308 models? |

Yeah, it's going to be for the MRP.
Apparently a 30rd mag fits like 13rds per wiki article.... "The .450 Bushmaster is a high-pressure rifle case, thus making efficient use of heavy .452" bullets.[4] The cartridge is chambered in bolt action rifles by Ruger and Savage, AR-15 rifles, as well as an AR-15 pistol by Franklin Armory.[5] Ballistically the round is very flat out to 200 yards; if the firearm is zeroed at 150 yards, the user can expect to see a rise of 1.8 inches at 100 yards, zero at 150 yards and a drop of 4.9 inches at 200 yards.[citation needed] The cartridge fits single-stacked in a standard AR-15 magazine with a single-stack follower. A 10-round AR-15 magazine body yields a five-round magazine, a 20-round AR-15 magazine body yields a nine-round magazine, and a 30-round body yields a 13-round magazine. Hornady and Remington both now manufacture ammunition for the rifle, and Starline manufactures empty brass for handloading. "

LMT love. Got the new PWS Mod 2 lower that I'm running as a pistol lower until the government opens back up and I can do a form 1 efile. Or maybe get a MARS-L lower eventually to use. The PWS Mod 2 is a nice upgrade over my Aero Precision pistol lower.
I love LMT so much. I also love KAC. But have been tempted to convert all of my factory rifles to just LMT MRP rifles. If only I could get a KAC barrel or E3 barrel extension + E3 bolt + mod 2 gas system to work in a MRP upper. Would be best of both worlds.

That's a sweet looking setup! I applaud and appreciate any ambi lower as a satan hander. The controls on that one look well laid out. Never seen a castle nut like that though, that's pretty interesting.
My grail AR-15 would be a LMT/KAC collaborative effort. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't happened already considering KAC has done this in the past for example with the MAGPUL/KAC rifles. The only difference b/t the two to me is that KAC's marketing is masterclass worthy, while LMT for years seemed to not even have a marketing strategy. I think this is changing fast with LMT now though. Originally Posted By AWDeity: Just to address this. IIRC when it came out, that was correct. LMT told me that it’s not a problem on their newer weapons, and sold me the E-BCG with my 300blk MLC upper |

Got the 11.5" upper in today. Pardon the crappy pic:
I got a KAC trigger guard and BCM grip in the mail today as well, but both of those are giving me issues. The trigger guard is going to need some filing to fit in the MARS lower and the BCM grip's "ears" are pushed in on either side not allowing me to install it. |

Love how your building that badboy from the ground up. I just bought a pair of new MOE + grips, and one of them won't fit right on the IWS lowers it was meant for. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GreasyEasy:

The trigger guard is going to need some filing to fit in the MARS lower and the BCM grip's "ears" are pushed in on either side not allowing me to install it.

Which variant of BCM pistol grip are you installing? |

Going to be a good setup StevieJ309! I removed a small amount of material from the lower and hit it with alumablack to make the KAC triggerguard work. Strangely enough, I've done the same thing to one of my KAC stripped lowers, and to a handful of Noveske lowers too. It's a good thing lowers are aluminum since it's easier to shape with a file.

Which variant of BCM pistol grip are you installing? It's the Mod 1 grip. I tried it on 3 lowers - the MARS I want to use it on, a stripped Defender lower and a Novekse that's just sitting around. Same results on all of them. |
