The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

Only 100 rds but flawless so far. I shot from the tripod quite a bit today and didn't see any zero shift. This rifle flat hammers.

Does Barrett make their own barrel blanks?

I've tested with different bipod locations and a tripod and haven't seen a zero shift either. I still need to test with a bag on a barricade but I can't imagine that's a whole lot different than what I've already done.
 
I didn’t find much on vertical grips so I’ll share mine. I just swapped on the MDT Premier vertical grip. I haven’t shot with it, but it seems like it’s going to allow a more comfortable grip and better trigger control for me. I’m not crazy about the appearance of the gap it left between the grip and the receiver.

Greetings,

I recently purchased the .308 17” version and am looking to potentially use a Barrett suppressor. Does anyone know if the rifle came with the break for the am30 or am338 can? I ask because the am30 seems to be unavailable.

Many thanks for your input.

Mine came with the am338 muzzle device. Why, I dunno but it did.
 
For my fellow shortkings, the SMR baseplate for the butt pad is a direct swap with the MK22/MRAD baseplate. That cuts out about 5/8" off of the LOP. So now its perfect for me. Was about $30 from barrett ($15 part + $15 shipping). You lose the LOP adjustment, but if you needed a shorter than factory LOP, this is the way to go. Then add spacers if you want it between -5/8" and factory LOP.

Dissasembly was pretty easy, just need to remove a C-clip, rest can be done by hand.

I just got my Mk22 Mod0 and I have a quick question regarding the MK22 suppressors. Will the non-locking AM338 suppressor still mount to the MK22 muzzle device or is it only compatible with the AML338 (Mk22 Suppressor) that is stated to be designed to only lock-up with the Mk22 Advanced Sniper Rifle? I was thinking that since the Mk22 Suppressors have become something akin to Unobtanium then I could just settle for the standard AM338 suppressor.


Your thoughts please and thank you.

I can't say for sure if the AM338 will thread on but my guess is that it's compatible. With that said, if you have a MK22 I'd just wait for the right cans to be available.
