    What’d you do to sharpen the rifles and blur the background? Nice picture.

    LMT MRP-L

    **I would put this on my “standard” lower** The LMT MARS complete lower is pricy and (IMO) not worth it. Now a full LMT vs. RD? I’ll take RD. But if you take a good lower and pair it with a MRPL upper and high quality barrel, you come out the same or less than the RD while having a...

    LMT MRP-L

    Thats a very nice option, but a d.wilson converted MRPL with a Bartlien is far more economical.

    LMT MRP-L

    Yeah it should add to durability, though I’ve never had any catastrophic handguard failures. Dented one or two though.

    LMT MRP-L

    Orrrrr not. I don’t mind pic rails as it gives a good grip, as long as it aint a chonky rail like the SLRs. Friend had an MI qual rail that felt nice and I hope how the BCM will when it gets here tomorrow.

    LMT MRP-L

    I’m thinking they no longer produce a slick 13” upper, only Mlok and pic rail.

    LMT MRP-L

    Ah, I’ve seen the 8” version but never knew they had a longer version. I assume with the MRP upper you have no shift in zero from different positions/inputs/pressures on the rifle? I swear I do with pressure, I need to test that theory out soon.

    LMT MRP-L

    SLK? Looking at pic rail due to not enjoying fiddling with Mlock screws. My current upper is Mlok, but will be building a work upper tomorrow with a BCM quad rail.

    LMT MRP-L

    I need to test my current upper with zero shifts. Zero in prone, shoot a group kneeling off barricade, standing tripod, etc. to see if a regular upper/handguard interface throws my zero that much. Basically see if a mono upper would be worth the consistency or if I’m just wanting a new toy.

    LMT MRP-L

    So definitely too tight for a suppressor to fit under. Thanks. I don’t really see myself swapping barrels often. Would rather buy a new upper/rifle. The strength of the monolithic upper is what draws me. That said, has the accuracy and consistency been that much better compared to a standard...

    What is the ID of the handguard?

    LMT MRP-L

    Whats the added weight compared to a standard upper/qual rail? Nice, I’m looking at the 13.25” quadrail version for that reason plus I’m getting tired of dealing with Mlok.

    LMT MRP-L

    Yeah I’m not going after a clone, don’t care to. The Mk12 is a concept to me, that of an accurate AR15 that is relatively lightweight, capable of accurate fire, and not so ungainly as to incumber the user. So basically I’m just curious about the MRP-L and its pros and cons.

    LMT MRP-L

    Hi, I am considering an LMT MRP-L upper for a Mk12 type build using a standard barrel with the d.wilson conversion. What are some potential downsides to the system compared to a good traditional upper? What has your experiences been with the DW conversion, etc? Looking at getting the LMT end...

    One thing I noticed and learned on the last session: TRUST YOUR DATA. I sent a round at 517y and everything felt good, trigger, recoil management, follow through, etc. Splash was high, maybe .3-.5 mil. I checked the Garmin and it showed that round moving at about 40-60fps faster than the...

    My barrel is marked 5.56 yes. BMC is Badland Munition Company using a 75gr BTHP from Hornady. @tucaz 3000’ of elevation difference really gives your barrels some extra velocity it seems. Or maybe the FN barrel is just “fast”.

    I should’ve wrote it down and kept up with it but the whole lot immediately went into mags. I’ll start tracking the lot numbers. Just ordered another 100 on Monday. For the price and consistency so far, this may be my “do all” round. Not just a match round. In comparison, the AAC 55 FMJ...

    The ultimate backup red dot?

    I’d use whatever your pistol used to retain logistics (battery, screws, footprint, etc.) and you’ll have a backup dot for your pistol if the one on your pistol fails. Or at least have the same mounting footprint.
