I hear you, man. I just submitted a Form 1 for my MARS-LS lower receiver in anticipation of an M-lok MRP chasis. I'm also wondering if LMT may consider MRP conversions for that Wolf 9x39 cartridge which will reportedly soon be available in the US?

I've been privileged to have pretty good relationships with certain higher ups at LMT and as of a year ago I suggested changing the mrp chassis to offer an MLOK version. At that time they decided against it so hopefully things are changing now.

I could tell you guys some secret projects and things that never came to fruition over at LMT that would blow your mind.

Anyone have an American Defense UIC lower on their MRP upper? Just curious what it looks like.

Always love the MRP's way back in this thread using the Knights lowers. But they have bolt release only, not lock. And while LMT's new offering has bolt lock back it's also pricey as hell for a lower. I like that the AMD UIC does both, and I can get a stripped one for $200. But I'm curious what the biller lower looks like on an MRP.

Awesome CQB! That Razor looks really nice, was thinking about the NightForce ATACR 4-16 also. Time will tell though, wouldn't even mind putting another Trijicon Accupower 1-8 on it.

No, gas port is still as it came. It does seem to like lighter buffers after the chop, though I have actually used up to an A5H3 with it. I currently have an LMT enhanced carrier in that upper too, which *seems* to allow it to work reliably so far with heavier buffers like the A5H3. I need to do more testing to know for sure if that carrier is really doing what I think it is.

Looks great. Do you feel like it's helped balance it out at all since you cut it? I know its not much weight but a little bit here and there always helps

Yes, any weight off the muzzle helps. It's enough to notice but not dramatic.

Folks chop 14.5 Colt barrels down to 10.3 all the time for Mk18 builds and open the port to Crane-spec of .070 I'd be willing to bet that would be a good start.
