Has anyone done a 33xc or 37xc in their mrad? Just curious.... got one of the used ones from eurooptic will be picking it up in a couple weeks so I’ve been thinking about other calibers.
No but that 33xc would be sick!Has anyone done a 33xc or 37xc in their mrad? Just curious.... got one of the used ones from eurooptic will be picking it up in a couple weeks so I’ve been thinking about other calibers.
So through a fortuitous accident I was able to find a great deal on an MRAD. Basically, a new .308, 17" MRAD for $3500.
I'm going to reload for it but was planning on trying factory ammo as well. Has anyone had success with FGMM 168 or 175s? Its been a while since I've shot factory .308 but is that still the "go-to"?
Excited to join the cult.
What he said ^^^I just received my new MRAD soft case/drag bag. I contacted Armageddon Gear and requested the soft case that they are making for the military's new Mk22 ASR (MRAD). A great design that will fit in a hard case and also can be used as a drag bag. It also comes with removable shoulder straps on the back which makes it even more versatile. A great bag made in the USA.

These are not available through their website, they must be special ordered as they make them in lots to fulfill military contracts, so they would need to add them to the production order. They retail for $390 but AG offers a 15% discount for PRS members.What were they asking for one? Is it wide enough to support a mounted atlas 5H? i’m guessing not.
I have a ebelestock bag that is nice but I do like the larger pockets, anything inside for mags or whatnot?
Just measured mine for you ... it's 9.5cm from wall-to-wall ... 3 11/16 inches.Can anybody tell me the interior dimension of a .338 mag or what’s the longest you could load in it ?
Had my buddy Matt at Sawtooth Rifles make some dovetail rails for the MRAD since I won one (not my rifle pictured). He made a short and full length version. Figured some of y’all would be interested.
The long version has a MLOK slots for you to add a pic rail on the front end if needed.
The dovetail has the RRS spec’d

Not sure why anyone would need to engrave anything, as Barrett already engraves the caliber into the bolt head. What am I missing here? Are you talking about multiple barrels of same caliber with each rifle? I don't think that would be a scenario for most people (or the military) because if you shoot a barrel out, you buy a new one that comes with its own matching bolt head anywayRegarding bolt head/barrel match marking, Barrett MRAD/Bolt Armor Course, Don Cook recommends engraving matching marks/numbers in non-bearing locations to prevent mixing bolt head and barrels. The four digit codes on the bolt head and barrels appear to be day/month codes of when manufactured. They are matched for head space during assembly, but not finally match coded....up to user. Can't believe Barrett will continue this potential problem for military. Can't see grunt engraving his bolt head/barrel, but sure can see him mixing the components when downrange. It's an issue waiting to happen. Anyone viewed the components in the Deployment kit for match coding??? Can't believe military development team would have missed this.
Good question that I’m looking for an answer for as well. Waiting on a canQuestion about factory muzzle brake. Y’all that have successfully removed them to run suppressed, what tools did you use?
The nut is low profile and all my wrenches are too thick.
Check reply #1194. It will give you some additional insight but not a complete answer.Anyone know if Barrett is going to offer a MRAD Gen? Incorporating changes from the ASR contract like mlok forend, lighter trigger, etc...

Just picked up my MRAD and I’m regretting not getting 300prc. I have 300 win. I doubt anyone would trade what are the odds of finding them for sale?
Awesome. Was hoping there would be MLOK versions without fixed stocks on the way.
mine likes 143 eld to 2.880, just short of the lands. 41g of 4350 in a Lapua case.New to the forum and just got an mrad in 6.5 creedmore. I've been developing some reloads, but I really can't get a good read on finding the lands. Currently, using 2.800" for col. Also curious as to why I never see win 760 being used for reloads? Seems that 4350 is the go to powder.
Any help and guidance would be appreciated..................Thanks
Cool stuff! Folding stock, yeah? Can I ask where you ordered it from? I’m interested in ordering one as well!First Post! I just wrote a long post introducing myself and it disappeared. So trying again here with a shorter one. Recently ordered a Barrett MRAD 300 PRC in FDE, #19058. This model isn't even on Barrett's website yet so I am keeping my fingers crossed it is an M-Lok version. And like Mischeivous above I am from the free state of AZ and have signed up for the Fieldcraft Survival long range shooting class in November. I am a former SWAT officer and I have never owned a hunting rifle or bolt gun... until now!!!
I also got the 338NM Barrel Kit but I don't reload. There are basically two in stock choices, Norma Hunter and Black Hills. Anyone have any experience with either one?
Also, wondering if anyone can recommend a good shooting bag and what model Atlas Bipod you guys are using with your MRAD's. Thanks!
Yes folder. I didn't realize the Barrett has a new model without the folder and no ability to change barrels and almost ordered the wrong 300 PRC on Gunbroker. Hinterland Outfitters in Texas is who I wound up ordering from. Great price and they are a high volume Barrett Rep. The salesguy called Barrett that day and they told him 6 to 10 weeks on my rifle. I just got a shipping notice on my 338NM barrel too. Should have it Tuesday!! A guy on the HOA Board with me has his FFL so it is basically coming right to me.Cool stuff! Folding stock, yeah?

That is sweet!!!My new play toy in multi-role brown, sporting the 24 inch, 300WM barrel, 5-25 atacr on nightforce rings, and accushot monopod and bipod![]()
Thanks, man. I just reached out to Barrett and he said no dice on M-Lok. He said the transition won't happen until "sometime in 2021". I also asked him about upgrading the upper to M-Lok down the road and he did not know if that would be a possibility. It's really not a big deal for me on the M-Lok other than I like the clean look better.Thank you for your service to the community and congrats on your purchase!
Looking forward to seeing pictures of your rifle and if it is in M-Lok.

Really looking forward to seeing this. That is almost the same setup I will be getting but adding a 6.5 creedmoor. Congratulations!Yes folder.

Mine came with a 1-1/16" jam nut and the brake itself is 1". Unlike yours, my jam nut was not low profile. Both brake and jam nut were rh thread. You may have to grind down a cheap open end wrench to hold the jam nut, while turning the brake ccw. I was really surprised how easily the brake and jam nut came off.Question about factory muzzle brake. Y’all that have successfully removed them to run suppressed, what tools did you use?

Thanks AMK. Mine seems to favor 2.820 col. I've tried to use the hornady oal, but I really have to jam the bullet into the barrel, which seems really odd. Never had to do this with other barrels. Best I was able to come up with was 2.835" to the lands. I did some reloads using 2.820" col, and was getting sub moa at 100 yds. It would be nice to have a drawing of the barrel.................But that ain't gonna happen.mine likes 143 eld to 2.880, just short of the lands. 41g of 4350 in a Lapua case.
That tool kit is "crazy expensive". Got the same stuff on Amazon for less than $50. It's cool ... don't get me wrong ... but $200 for $50 in tools means you've gotta want that nifty canvas carry bag.
Anything that puts an MRAD in your arsenal ... is the bargain of the century.Based on the price of other fix it sticks brand tools, $299 did not seem unreasonable to me. And it was covered a few pages back... the 140 in lb fix it stick torque limiter seems totally absent in the wild. Multiple searches returned nothing so it might be made specifically for Barrett. When you consider the fact that for approx. $10,000 I can get everything in the MK22 kit minus the M-Lok, FDE Barrels (which I can Cerakote myself), hard case, sling and extra mags, which is selling online for over $16,000.00, I'd say it's the bargain of the century!!!
