How much difference does the gas port size matter with the adjustable block?

Looks like Lmt is raising the prices of their barrels. A stainless lightweight mws barrel is now almost $900. Ouch!

I've gotten a quote from him. MWS I'm not so sure. Having owned one, I know the barrel is much more rebust vs a standard barrel where it's locked in. |

I briefly had a MRP CQB upper but sold it a while back. Now I'm feeling the "pull" of wanting one again. Nothing like a relapse of black rifle disease...
What are the weight differences between the standard and slick CQB chassis? |

Per my scale: CQB MRP chassis with bolts: 22.9 oz LM8 MRP chassis with bolts: 21.1 oz Weight can vary a little but that's only 1.8 oz difference between the two I weighed. |

I don't know whether to view that as good for the quad rail or bad for the slick side. I imagine the LM8 feels much better in your hands. Any new sources of custom MRP barrels other than Nefarious Arms? |

Any new sources of custom MRP barrels other than Nefarious Arms? Today's work involved meeting up with a good friend of mine and getting his LMT LM8 CQB SS set up with a Viper PST 1-4. The rifle has been owned by him for several years now but not fired. I am going to change that soon as we discussed doing some training before summer's heat arrives. We'll probably go soon, but in the mean time, his rifle is set up very well.

I have multiples of both the RL and CQB chassis in both slick and railed (maybe 10 I forget) and I do like the slick but wish the attachment of the picatinny rail sections were m lok. I always find myself going back to the railed version.

There are a couple smiths that can do barrel conversions. As long as you have a old barrel the extension can be savaged.
A guy over at M4 did a custom 6 or 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Once I burn out my factory 6.5CM barrels, I plan on getting a custom 24 or 26" Hawk Hill barrel spun up. $900.00 dollars is crazy. I spent $450.00 on a SS match 18" 308 barrel a couple years ago. |

Yesterday was slick, today is railed. This has to be my favorite all around rifle. There's just something about THE railed RL MRP. I have a bunch of cans just about to clear, hopefully (at the 8 month mark today), what would you gents run on this Surefire 762 mini (FDE), Rugged Surge 762, or Silencerco Saker 762 (FDE)?

wow, gorgeous.
Well, I'd run one of the FDE cans. Of the two I can't remember which one is shorter, but I like the saker a lot. If you're installing your own muzzle devices I suppose you could try both? |

I wonder how quiet the saker will be on a 14.5" 5.56? I either need to borrow or buy a geiselle action rod to swap all my muzzle devices out |

Sadly it won't have the awesome dimpling you're getting. I hope to acquire a rl lm8 upper in the near future for it. Btw this thread continues to display some awesome rifles. Keep it up! Here's a pic of the barrel before its sent off for work.

MRP owners: A specific question but maybe one of you can answer. Do you think a 12.5 (non piston) barrel and a OPS/AEM collar brake setup with a 12th/5 model can work with a CQB chassis? Looking to do a mini precision SBR with the can tucked up close to the chassis.

Had a shop cut a 14.5" barrel down to 12.5" and I'm currently waiting on my Form 4 to transfer it to me. Should be in the next few weeks that it gets done and then i'm post whoring that thing all over the place. |

Should be in the next few weeks that it gets done and then i'm post whoring that thing all over the place. To use the OPS 12th/AEM5 suppressor with the SPR collar it looks like it takes 3.2" overall. Now the collar could partly tuck up under a rail as only the taper part of the collar works with the can. I think that measurement is roughly 2.6" (including the muzzle threads) or 2" as mentioned in the bottom picture. ETA: You may also be looking at an M4 to AEM5 collar adapter depending on whether barrel is profiled for SPR or M4.
