Posted: 7/23/2012 2:58:28 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I have a few of the LMT Piston MRP rifles and I love them. I was looking for a backup barrel/piston and came across this deal. This guy has a few at what looks to be about $150 under cost as "old stock". I don't need anymore rifles at this time, but I paid a lot more than that for mine. Sweet deal. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=297701008

Posted: 7/23/2012 9:15:42 PM Yeah, I paid around $1800 for mine and thought that was a great deal. The price they are offering is in the ballpark of just an upper. Why firesale them? They aren't yesterdays top tier or anything... Originally Posted By afroney: Originally Posted By CovertChannels: I have a few of the LMT Piston MRP rifles and I love them.

I bought mine at Dealer cost... This is the best deal you will probably see out there.

What did it replace and when? its the new style monolithic platform. it is similar to a samson evo rail where you put the rail segments where you want them and the rest of it is just plain.

For me, I think I like the regular MRP rail better. One thing that worries me about the screw-on 1913 sections, the holes in the rail don't have threaded steel collars/inserts. You have to crank down directly into the rail's aluminum threading. Aluminum + threading = bad combo IMHO. It's just too easy to strip out.
