Behold!

Barrett MRAD Conversion Kits Released

Barrett Rifles - MRAD Kits and Pricing

$1522 per kit ain't too bad, soon as a Smith starts spinning barrels in other calibers there may be a viable alternative to the DTA offerings!

This will be a new selling point for them at least. I know many people that will buy these.

I agree its taken them way longer than it should have, but then I wasn't sitting on mine as long as some other folks were sitting on theirs waiting for these kits. That said, its definitely a selling point and I can see the value of the one in my safe rising with the release of these. I might snag up a 300wm kit and keep that gun as a dedicated ELR rig. Already have a 308, not sure I need to pay 1500 for another one! However, I'm interested to see what the aftermarket availability on barrels turns into. If smiths start producing barrels in other short action calibers at reasonable prices, it may be worth it to buy the short action kit.

I may call them up after shot and see if individual components can be ordered, like the bolt head and mag, if one was planning to try and have a smith cut up a barrel in 6CM or something.
