@StevieJ309 The contour of the Railscales is a perfect match for the MLR. Virtually zero gap on the angled edges. Also as can be seen, when using panels on both sides along with the bottom, the panels line up with no gap. Whereas my KAC SR25 URX4 leaves space between each panel as the OD of the M-LOK rail is larger. They are 3 slot panels. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By spdrcrgts:

My slick upper and completed mars so far. Thinking of pulling my 16 barrel from my cqb mlok and putting it in this. Keeping it either stock or having it cut to 14.5. Wouldn’t mind making my cqb an sbr but short MRP barrels are RARE.
I honestly like the feel of the slick and 1913 uppers I have better than my mlok. Guess I’m weird.  Attached File |

The CMR rail covers feel even better than the LM8 rubber panels. They add a little extra width, provides some heat standoff, and protects the rail better. My 16" is currently getting chopped by Dave to 13.7-13.9" I believe. It will fit flush with a SF Suppressor. I'll post some photos as soon as it comes in. |

I’ve been waiting 2 months for a barrel and the estimate is still over a month out. It wouldn’t be a big deal but since they hold very limited actual stock they charge in full right away rather then when an item actually ships. |

So I have a few extra CQB uppers laying around and a CSW upper not doing anything. Im planning on building a 9mm upper and running it on a regular lower with MEAN Endomags.
Im not sure which 9mm barrel to have converted. Anyone have any recommendations? Im thinking Faxon. Also which BCG will I have to run, that depends on the barrel correct? Faxon state theres will run with glock cut and colt. This is my first attempt at a 9mm upper so im confused. Plan is to run it with my AAC TiRant 45M. I'd like the barrel and suppressor to be mostly inside the upper so I'll have to take some measurements. I've read good things about the endomags, anyone have any real experience with them? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tranzformer: I sent an email to LMT. If I hear anything back I'll let you guys know. I would like to do a possible CMMG RDB 9mm conversion through Marvin Pitts or D.Wilson to have for my CSW upper. I think that could turn into a nice setup. Then eventually if Mean Arms Roller Delayed stuff comes to market, see if they will sell a barrel + bolt/bcg separately to use that for a conversion. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By spdrcrgts: I’ve also been considering the CMMG RDB kit for one of my MRPs, but users in the Pistol Caliber forum still seem to be running into a number of issues and getting them resolved by CMMG is less than a smooth process. Until reliability is noticeably improved I’m going to hold off. Those sets are too spendy to end up with a paperweight if it doesn’t reliably function after MRP conversion. It was mentioned CMMG won’t touch it if any work has been performed on the barrel. Angstadt has come out with the best looking roller delayed 9mm AR but time will tell on reliability. |

This is what I’ve been shooting with the most lately. I really like the balance of the cqb, it would be great if LMT lengthened it just a hair but so far the quad cqb has been my favorite. Mainly been shooting 55gr wolf gold but I’m going to try and try my hand at reloading rifle. I’ve mainly just reloaded .45 for my 1911.
The MRP system is the most solid feeling and shooting AR setup I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. I’m definitely going to be with the system for the long haul. This thread and the awesome pics are good inspiration.  Attached File Attached File9.1 lbs unloaded mag  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Sniper3142:
QUESTION for all Fellow LMT Owners... Do any of you with rifle length MRPs or Large Frame rifles mount their magnified optics further forward then with non-monolithic setups? Since there is no "gap" to worry about, the idea seems to make some sense. I figure that mounting a scope like a LPVO or even something bigger further forward would allow me to keep the collapsible stock at it's shortest length while still having proper eye relief for my scopes. Am I wrong, or is this done by others? |
