I tried to go with Marvin, but couldn't reach him, and ADCO has always done good work for me in the past, and is quick. I also had ADCO re-contour the barrel forward of the gas block. Over all saved 4 ounces. Attached File Attached File For comparison, here is the 14.5 barrel before being sent off. Attached File |

Marvins work is awesome I just don’t have the patience to deal with mediocre communication and longer lead times.

I’m about to purchase a suppressor for my blackout/5.56 platform-10.5 barrels on both.
Trying to decide on the Nomand or Sandman S. Any of you all running these cans and have feedback? Gut is telling me to go with the S but the nomad appears to be getting good reviews. |

It works great in conjunction with a Bootleg Adjustable Carrier, and does just fine without that carrier. You'll eventually want to convert every mount to Keymo and that's a big plus of the Sandman vs. Nomad. |

Any of you all running these cans and have feedback? Gut is telling me to go with the S but the nomad appears to be getting good reviews. View Quote No experience with the Nomad, but I love my S on both MRP and MWS... and everything else I put it on including .300 Blk. It’s not the quietest or lightest can out there, but it seems to be a very low back pressure can which makes it play well with most everything without messing with gas blocks and buffer weights. Sure, it bumps the cyclic rate up a notch, but it’s very manageable. No to mention (yet again) the Keymount system is stupid good and the Sandman is one of the most overbuilt cans out there. |

Standard (fresh) spring, H2 buffer works perfectly with my 10.5" Di with or without suppressor with normal full power 556 ammo.
Normally I would expect at least a couple hundred rounds to "break in" a virgin gun, but this one has has exactly ZERO malfunctions. Pictured above, LMT M-16 BCG. |

perfect.. sounds good as that setup was the plan to start with..

Went with the Sandman. Thanks, Gents.

I’m glad to see that there is another premiere smith doing work, especially catering to the monolithic platform. What was the turnaround time? I’d love to do two more versions of a MARS-H, MLOK.

Very close to being a Gucci class optic, but falls just short in a few areas, but very, very good. The Vortex is most at home on a 7.62 gasser imho. Outside of that, for straight DMR like your canteen green setup above, my lust would be the Leupold MK5 in an H59. |

Hello! my good friend RotorWash109 has introduced me to the MRP platform and after shooting rifles from his collection, I have decided to build an LMT. I've been a huge fan of quality products in life and have seen and felt the difference quality parts of LMT can make. This will be my first MRP (probably of many).
I posted in the WTB thread but understand that section can often be overlooked. Would anyone have a used CQB quad rail upper they would like to sell? I prefer quads, as I have meat hooks for hands. Thanks for reading, and I'm excited to complete the build. |
