I know the MRP has always been on the slender side so I’d be curious how much slimmer the MLOK version is. Thanks to all for helping. |

Has anyone had functional success cutting a 16" MWS barrel back to 14"/14.5"?
I'm planning to do so (14" with a P/W FH) and intend to run it suppressed, but I know the LMT factory 13.5" barrel has a larger gas port (.086) whereas the standard 16" has a .076 port. Curious if I'm going to run into any function/teething issues, or if it can work with the appropriate buffer tweaks, etc.? |

I don't know if I should bother buying an MRP barrel, or just go straight to getting a barrel from Centurion and having it reprofiled for the MRP chassis. MWS's run harder than their peers, but at the same time, the are pretty over built to accommodate the pressures they run at. What can and has happened in the past is people adding a suppressor to the system that really was'nt really optimized for that particular weapon. Just as there are no standard/TPD for large frame AR's there is no standard spec for cans. historically most can manufactures chased Db Reduction which kind of resulted in cans the increased back pressure. So when used on normal to undergassed system these cans worked fine. When the industry began to overgass guns to increase reliability across a broad range of ammo, chasing Db Reduction started to cause issues. So now there are a broad range of solutions. Low back pressure cans, adjustible gas keys/BCG's, Heavier buffers. I ran a Gemtech GMT-300WM(Dagger) on my and it ran damn hard with it and an H2 buffer. Well I picked up a sandman K, dropped a H9/extra heavy Buffer in it and it is really nice to shoot. In regards to the MRP, I have been running a supressed 10.5 with an 15 year old gemtech m4-02 can for years and never had an issue. ran it with a H2 for a long time before trying out a JP Silent capture spring. Its allays been reliable. I see no real reason to modify some hobby grade barrel for use in the system. Just pick out a suppressor that is optimized for what you want to do. |

@AZ2A and m4hk33
I appreciate the info. Aside from our issued M4's, the only other M4/AR rifles I've shot were a CQB Mod 2 SR15 and Mod 2 SR15 14.5". They shoot very well, and I've never really pieced together any AR's. I just rather buy something factory that I know will work. I've always been iffy on whether or not to jump on the MRP, so I've fallen out of the loop with where they are today. The pictures like the one posted above don't help. I have an LMT lower still missing an upper, so I've been wanting to throw an MRP upper on it. I mentioned Centurion because from everything I know about them, their gas ports are on the smaller side. I can get a deal on an CQB MRP chassis right now for what seems like a good price to me. I'd share it, but don't want to violate any rules. What was the Brownell's pricing on CQB MRP uppers that everyone was raving about? And was that the full upper with BCG and all? |

Not sure what Brownells was selling them at but they were a pretty good deal, with that being said, I would just watch LMT on social media as the do have some pretty good sales during the year.
Xmas was one, I remember the fathers day sale being pretty good think i bought an MLC upper. they have them periodically. very nice if not rushing anything. Also, they offer a military discount if you call them up and ask |

I have run my 10.5" MRP suppressed (SpecWar 2) much more than unsuppressed.
Either way I have not yet had a single failure to feed fire or eject. Other than the H2 buffer WES (MSTN) recommended, it is totally stock with LMT BCG. This has been with everything from Q3131A, MK 262, Hornady 75gr 556 and 223, LC M855, 77gr and 69gr BH 223, 50gr Blitzkings, BH blue box 75gr, Win M855, Norinco 55gr 556, and AE 55gr 223, plus a few others I am not sure about. Never any steel case of any kind. Minimal gas blowback with PRI gas buster even though I am a southpaw. The only pic I have of the short MRP with a longer barrel than the 10.5".
