I don’t think it will work without modification. If you look at the MARS catch I think it looks like it is tabbed for the Ambi bolt release.

Ignore the OD stock, Tan Sopmod inbound any day now  MARS-L lower, MLC Rifle length upper, 14.5 barrel with a pin/weld. Only changes made was the Magpul MOE+ grip, and LaRue MBT trigger.I really like the setup, and despite the heavy profile barrel, I think it's a touch heavier than my SCAR 16S SBR. The only change I'd really do is a barrel lightening job, and H2 buffer. I wonder if Marvin and dimple a barrel that's already pinned and welded... |

Funny thing, with a Surefire M600DF, EXPS 3-0, and no mag, the LMT (as pictured above) weighs 8.2 lbs.
My SCAR 16S with a 10" barrel, same light, no mag, and Aimpoint T2 weights.....8.2 lbs.
Of course, the SBR balances better since a lot of the weight is in the middle of the reciever. The LMT is def. front heavy, and now I'm really interested if I can bring the weight down to below 8 lbs by dropping the barrel weight. I should also mention this was done on a no frills digital scale so the measurements arent exactly super accurate. |

Looking good! The Sopmod will certainly look better but it is a couple of ounces heavier than the SL-S. That weight overall isn't half bad considering the rifle length upper and the heavy 14.5" LMT barrel. Marvin takes time and you must be patient, the last work I sent to him had a 16-18 week turn around. If want to do it then I'd likely suggest picking up a second barrel to have sent in for the work so that you can continue to use the setup you currently have here. You can always dump that barrel on the EE when your dimpled barrel arrives.

I want to say 8oz. The slk was 2oz lighter, the mlk is like 6oz lighter than the slk.
I really like it. Completely changed the way the weapon handles. That combo takes almost 14oz off the front end of the rifle. I honestly prefer it over my SCAR. My railed chassis is getting built with my 6.5 barrel. The mlk will run the 13.5, and Mars lower. |

Well thanks to the help of a fellow Arfcomer here I have been able to bring my old LMT back to life and its former glory. I love the 11.5" barrel length for an SBR so I picked up a barrel a while back with the anticipation piecing back together the upper of this original MRP. I still haven't figured out what I am going to do about rail panels or a hand stop, I am not fully sold on the original KAC panels I picked out for it and how it looks, but it might look better with a hand stop and another rail panel on the bottom. I have a Surefire Scout that I need to slap on but I am still waiting for the SR07 tape switch to show up and I need an offset rail mount for that as well. I stole the AAC Mini4 off of my Scar SBR so we shall see how they do together. For now it'll make a great backup to my SR-15 11.5" and it might even find work as a loaner gun in a class or two.
Any thoughts on rail panels and hand stops? 
 With its brother of another mother, KAC SR-15 CBQ SBR 11.5".

Clearly I share your tastes very closely, as I love stretch MRPs, and believe the OG MK1 rail is easily the most super precision of them all, and in time will be regarded as the most legendary. It's the MRP of rails in my book, and similarly they're isn't another rail in the world that comes close to it's intricacy, depth & difficulty of manufacturing, and ultimately it's level of durability or ability to withstand incredibly amounts of abuse. Remington RAUGs would be their only competitor, but still falls a bit short. Keep building beautiful rifles brother, as I always enjoy seeing your pics. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GreasyEasy: Google stippled KAC covers, and if you want... even add MRP in the search box, and you'll find several people's MRP CQB SBR setups sporting stippled KAC panels, with several incorporating the KAC alum handstop in the mix. Without stippling they suck imho. I really like KAC panels, and find if one uses a trick or two when installing them, they'll lock in place and have zero movement. I believe this is one of the main reasons people don't like them, as they won't lock in to every position on a rail, and when they do lock in, most rattle to some extent. Shoot me a PM if you use them, and I'll give you some tips Ive learned over the years using them. Thinking something like this.

We can definitely pick on Buddyhoohaw as much as we want considering the man's firearm collection is in rarified air with regards to the particular type of rifles, and kit he owns. His collection specifically displays immense thought, many times custom work, and ultimately uber quality in each firearm he owns that I've seen him post, and that still sticks out in a crowd around here that is full of amazing rifles and collections. That said, the guy really has some deep emotional issues with his 50 shades of FDE policy, and I think he's never seen a shade of FDE he didn't take a shine to
One thing MRPs often exhibit, and perhaps is done by default due to their incredible modularity, but nonetheless, MRPs often display highly specialized configurations done so by owners in order to create in many times a rifle that transcends the normal notion of what a typical 6920 style AR is. MRPs make world beating MK18 type configs, arguably the best Recce, and SPR platforms, and hopefully in time they will find a way to create a MRP that has a similar role, feel, and kiss approach as a factory 6920 or 6720, but they already have standard LMT ARs for that. So I guess I getting at the point that their might not be a real reason for LMT to try and cater to the LW rage with it's MRP/MWS lineup considering their standard models do that perfectly fine as is. Regardless, no MRP owner is bitching when they get the email about new lightweight MRP uppers with pencil profiled barrels. |

One thing MRPs often exhibit, and perhaps is done by default due to their incredible modularity, but nonetheless, MRPs often display highly specialized configurations done so by owners in order to create in many times a rifle that transcends the normal notion of what a typical 6920 style AR is. MRPs make world beating MK18 type configs, arguably the best Recce, and SPR platforms, and hopefully in time they will find a way to create a MRP that has a similar role, feel, and kiss approach as a factory 6920 or 6720, but they already have standard LMT ARs for that. So I guess I getting at the point that their might not be a real reason for LMT to try and cater to the LW rage with it's MRP/MWS lineup considering their standard models do that perfectly fine as is. Regardless, no MRP owner is bitching when they get the email about new lightweight MRP uppers with pencil profiled barrels.
I have to say that my favorite product to emerge from the LMT shop in a while is the MARS-L lower. I was fortunate to score one of the early releases thanks to jboy and I promptly filed a Form 1 which has since cleared. It is mated to my original MRP CQB which is my dedicated 300 blackout rig and as a lefty I really dig it. A huge kudos to LMT for now offering both 556 and 762 MARS lowers in stripped configuration. It think it is a great idea that offers the individual customization opportunities which is akin to the modularity and versatility of the MRP system. Cheers |

Cheers You know how much I love LMT and I'm sure at some point I will be picking up their suppressors but first on my list is the VOX. That will definitely be my next can. If I spilled my guts and told you all the cool things LMT was going to bring to market over the years but didn't for one reason or another it'd be amazing. Check out the vox when you get a moment. Also my go to is the Rugged Surge. I have another cqb inbound thanks to emmtothedee |

In all seriousness I'm not sure. I have at least 12 MRP uppers and of all 3 styles (railed, slick, mlok) the railed are still my favorite, although I think slick may be the beefiest. |

Today I learned that I have to remove the thumb safety to get the LMT factory 2 stage trigger installed in a MARS lower. That's annoying.

LMT 2 stage trigger is surprisingly bad. Adding the LaRue MBT heavy spring to the trigger was a vast improvement.

I am surprised the LMT triggers aren't satisfactory.
I've got two of them (bought in the Dark Age from WES @ MSTN) and both a really good. One is near the equal of my KAC 2-stage. |

Looking to pick up my first MRP and wondering who has good deals for MRP MLOK rifles/uppers. Bummed that I missed out on the Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore 1500 dollar rifles. Can't find another deal that good anywhere.
Are 14.5" MLOK complete uppers sold anywhere? |
