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

    The rifle shoots well. So, you are right.. who cares. I was only wondering about the color because i ve never shot any copper bullets. The conversion barrell in 308 doesnt have this.

    Just borescoped my 338 MRAD barrel. Its after 70 shots. What do you think what these discolorations are? It looks like copper , but i ve never shot any copper or red brass cardridges. I only shot Nickel plated bullets. RWS speed tip pro. Is this fouling or a barrel discoloration from heat? Can...

    i think i will buy a second barrel conversion kit in the same caliber. Because its not good to switch between different bullets with different coat materials. Or doesnt make that sence?

    and no... maybe my question was not presice enough... i am not wondering about another zero... that is normal with different DA and or temperatures and so on. I am wondering about the larger shot group !! There was really a difference from dry weather to rainy weather

    well ... at this moment i only know these datas. For DA i should look at the forecast. But... however it affects the ballistics... i was wondering about the more or less deviation between each shot.. although every shot was quite precise.

    Has anyone compared the MRAD vs SRS-A1 from Desert Tech? Some people say that the SRS-A1 has a better return to zero in case of a barrel change. Or what other advantages has the one rifle to the other?

    update!! I had a pic on my phone of the rifle. Its same as canuckistaninias. Back sleeve is turned and closed position... so it must be rotatable. Only the front sleeve has an indexing pin. Now we have it :D

    Huh... let me check this on friday when i am back home. Now when i am looking to your rifle i get doubts. The dust covering makes sense. I was so sure remembering i had problems first time foldering the rifle down and locked because of this back sleeve. But maybe i mix up anything because i have...

    @the German: Do you know in Germany a 1000 meter shooting place for cilvilians? There are some 300, but 1000 is rarely. And if yes, then military only.

    My MRAD has two part sleeves, like canuckistaninia said. But on my mrad both sleeves are indexed and have notches. So they cannot rotate. Even not during circling and closing the bolt. Furthermore its not possible to close the receiver down and lock if the sleeves are not correcty inserted. If...

    The MRAD bold sleeve mechanism has a notch to prevent rotating.
