[ARCHIVED THREAD] - MRP badness #2 (Page 3 of 51)

This seems to be a fairly common occurence with LMT's anodizing lately.... I would contact the dealer that you purchased it from and see if they can/will do anything for you. Contact LMT directly if you dont have any luck with the dealer. Its possible the whole batch that your dealer has is also purple. |
bsbg: That's a sweet looking rifle. Actually, they're all nice looking builds in this thread.  What does that rifle weigh with all the toys on it? I'm thinking of building one of these but I don't want it to weight as much as a SAW if I can help it. Has anybody gone the MRP route and wondered if they got their money's worth in terms of ! for your $? I don't want to regret it. Thanks |
Dude, join a gym  My MRP was just under 10 lbs loaded before the IR laser. That is about what a fully outfitted gun is going to weigh when you add up the light, optic, BUIS, Magpul stock, etc. And that is with no spare batteries like you can put in a Vltor or LMT SOPMOD stock. |
|
Why you.... You oughta try doing a few dozens of tactical mag changes, holding it with your shooting hand while going to sitting and prone position (need the other hand to brace yourself) a few dozen times, all with the weapon pointing down range  Our IR pointers are similar in weight, but my M900 weighs a lot more than yer 6V SF light and KAC foregrip, all that weight sits in front 
|
I'll post a bit... But the last couple pages are all about MRPs and NVDs on them... No NVDs for me... Spooky |
I guess I'll send you an IM just to see how hard my jaw will hit the floor... Spooky |
YOU...selling? Mann, does that mean your getting a D-760 now! 
|
Haha, alas no  I shot the D740 last Saturday, but only a few rounds during a sighting in session in class. The elevation needed no adjustment, only had to move windage over to the left by 3 MOA. The cheekweld with the LMT SOPMOD stock wasn't ideal, so I stowed it after zeroing it 
|
I gottta feelin' that stock problem WILL be solved early next week for you!!!
|
oohh can't wait to see your new rig! damn i sound like a mrp groupie. hopefully i can make up my mind soon and join the ranks! |
Yep good catch, it's an M4 profile barrel done by ADCO. It was bought from one of the ar15.com members, you can still find the for sale thread here, only the upper made it to CA 
|
|
Hm I dunno, from the for sale pic, it looks as though the barrel starts to taper towards the M203 step down, but could just be the effect of the camera. I was thinking about having mine fluted, but compare that to a standard barrel, seems the only difference is the M203 step down, they're both skinny under the handguard and heavy from the gas block forward, so I deduce the extra weight on the MPR isn't from the barrel... |
knock...knock....Guess what was on my front stoop yesterday Wes?? It had the intitials of LMT on the box!!!  Yee haaw, my wait is over, well except for that 6.8 barrel.  Does this mean I have to bring another platform to kill da yotes and bcats?? Naw, I'll just use yours with dat fancy paint job!!
|
Bring it, We can always use another gun  Let's see some pics with a D740 on top. |
Done...As for the 740 pics, that's Duffy's job! 
|
Da MRP FINALLY arrived... I've not even had enough time to snap some REAL good pics as I was too busy packing for da yote, bcats, cougar, and hog hunt I am about to leave town for! Doos critters best fear da night!! More pics to come of the LMT MRP night fighter!   |
