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

    honestly, when I return to a barrel, the POI from when I took it off is usually within 2- clicks vertical, and 2 clicks horizontal from it's old position. I can keep track of what I dial to go between barrels, so I just redial back to where the zero should be, and it takes maybe 1 or 2 shots to...

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

    It's actually not as bad as you'd think, but I typically double up my ear pro out of habit from when I shoot the 338lm barrel. The cheekpad is made by wiebad if I remember correctly and I like it quite a bit. I have been able to stay on the gun on hot days without getting sweaty and sliding off...

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

    Managed to make it out yesterday to a friends place. He has a small shooters nook from the top of his barn where we can clear the corn and get 670M (about 730 yards) I managed to tag the 2 MOA gong on the first shot and very consistently with the 308 setup. Considering the wind conditions, I am...

    I dont suppose you took a picture of the extension and nut before putting then back on? I forsee cannibalizing mine when I've shot out a barrel and I'm not sure I understand how they come apart.

    Wait... So the mead won the ASR competition or is this a different contract?

    Am I missing something? You are making it sound like the decision has been made and they are going with the MRAD for the ASR.

    Which Rifle??? Ballista, MRAD, MLR?

    I'm biased since I have one, but I've always loved my MRAD. I'm confident the ballista is a solid option, it was just not an available option for me, it was just too much damn money.

    I believe the desert tech is 3 bolts, torqued less then the mrads 2. Asside from just lostening them and pulling the barrel out, they both are just as simple. I'm unsure of whether you swap complete bolts with a desert tech or wheter a bolt face is swapped. Either way, it's certainly not hard...

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

    Looks like Lowlight's sources have told him that the ASR competition may be down to the AI and the MRAD. I know who I want to win, but I wonder if the MRAD ended up being chosen would effect the aftermarket for it...

    I'm jealous of your 7-35, I felt like I broke the bank when I got my 5-25. What are you planning on attaching to that top rail?

    I thought it was something having to do with early Gen 1 rifles... Myself, I have 7 mags (mix of A, b and C mags), 3 different barrels, and have had zero issues.

    How GTG Barrett MRAD Out of the Box?

    I replaced the grip on mine to match all my ARs, it is definitly not necessary, and I put a wiebad cheek pads on it (also not needed). Other then that, I lightened my trigger and adjusted the travel/creep (both are very simple user adjustments). Other then that, I can't think of any changes or...

    Why is AXMC always the answer to multi cal?

    I love my Barrett mrad. It doesn't exactly have the most calibre options, but it has the ones that matter to me. I'm not sure why it isn't considered anywhere near as often of the dta or the AI, but it's a good piece of kit.

    With how the chassis clamps the barrels in the mrad, does a hog saddle affect accuracy or poi?

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

    I ended up replacing the stock MOE grips with some ergo overmold, just because I have it on all my AR's and I like the consistency of feel. To test it out we had some good fun at my friends Cabin. An easy 300 Meters/confidence builder right off the deck. If we go up to his barn, we can make it...

    I am not sure how often it has been done. It may be worth your while to call Barrett. They've always been amazing when I've called.

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

    Has anyone replaced the grip on their MRAD? I'm finding the grip lacking and considering switching to an ergonomic overmold, but I'm wondering what else people are using. Has anyone tried a more vertical grip? hell would the MPA EVG work?
