WOWSERS.....I posted a lengthy reply to buddy's masterpiece and slipjet's awesome new .22 setup all for not, I actually had a little panic attack but now that I see the Godfather is handling his business and I still have my home I can sleep easy

Slipjet, since you condemned yourself by posting a nice grouping pic with the dominator 18" SS already, you kinda signed yourself up to doing an extensive AAR on that sweet spikes setup

.......and so the badness rolls on

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Was going to sell this to buy an FN SCAR but decided to keep it. It is a sweet shooter! Maybe a SCAR next year?

I know he is! I sold an AK and was trying to sell the MRP but will not go any lower than I had it listed. Plus I didn't think it wise to trade/sell two guns to buy one, and one in which spare parts etc may be hard to come by if I ever needed them. I used the money to buy a complete factory Daniel Defense upper and am getting the DD lower and parts together for another AR instead

ok so she started out like this, purchased from denny at global tactical (phenomenal guy) some time last year when there was a sale going on.

currently she is sitting like this





im still waiting on the surefire duel tape switch which is back ordered from optics planet, some index clips from larue, some xtm panels and a miad from magpul then i think i will be done until my sbr paperwork comes back.
here is a rundown of parts.

mrp piston upper
dennys billet lower
geissele ssa
ubr
spikes st-t2 buffer
troy front and rear sights
ta31 rco m4 in a larue mount
surefire scout in a larue mount
insight peq 15
grip pod
whatever rail covers i had laying around that fit

i was trying for a stickman type of photo but i think my photography skills are lacking ....

eta this is my first ever "in on one" yay for me

I have been running a MRP CQB for 3 years. Its never failed, though I do think this is due to me throwing away a lot of mags and buying new ones from time to time. I run a 16" chromelined with a Vortec FH, LMT enhanced bolt, M16 carrier NP3 plated, Tango down pistol grip, RM vertical Flash light grip, Trijicon RX30, LMT tactical sights, steel charging handle, SOPMOD stock and a old Trusted Laser Devices laser. Its a heavy gun but will handle most tactical needs given the advent of better 5.56 ammo.

My CQB has done taken a lot of licks and always held zero. Its only on its second barrel so its got a ways to go.

Lately I have been running the SHRIKE AAR its a more refined weapon system with the good aspects of the M16 still utilized. Gas piston, tool less 3 second barrel changes, folding charging handle, adjustable gas system, simple M16 type takedown, stronger design(orginal design built for belt feed) and upgradable to fill lots of rolls. All this plus the AR lower and egonomics I'm used to in a M4.

I don't have the photo skills as the others here, but here's my duty rifle:

YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE

Buddy will still hang out with you in the FN kiddie pool whenever you decide to go that route

Yeah, they let us carry our own, they restrict us to 16 to 20 inch barrels on the AR platform only (they do allow Mini 14's though I don't think many carry them). They are restrictive on ammo though. They only allow 55 or 62 grain ammo. But, I would rather supply my own AR so I can carry what I want and what suits me! They also make troops that have an optic, carry the rifle in a hard case, but I have a rifle rack rigged up in the back seat of the Mustang to carry my MRP, there's just no other room anywhere in the car!

Well I want mad points too because right now the MRP is what I currently have a dept. weapons card to carry as my patrol rifle. When I get back to the range next month I will be qualifying with one of my SBRs though for more options.

Yes it does! Our department has a very open rifle policy. As long as it is a quality rifle/build and you can qualify with it you are GTG.

Not bad advice at all!!!! I LOVE the stretch MRP but was bitten by the SCAR bug a long time ago. I am keeping the MRP for sure and will get a SCAR sometime next year or maybe Christmas time this year, but that depends. I really liked the ACOG but for L.E. use I just didn't care much for it. I also liked the Insight MRD mounted on top of the TA33 but felt it added too much "thickness" to the entire platform.

My bad brother.....mailbox is gtg
