Hello all, I have been looking for the LMT MRP Canteen green upper and lower. I am willing to pay top dollar, for either or and in either frame.
Thanks

I am not familiar with LMT offering this. Something old ?
I believe they were contract overruns from guns assembled for a foreign military (the exact country escapes me).
The anodizing was "canteen green" and there were a limited number of sets, and also some uppers only, available for sale on the LMT website earlier this year. I think there were less than 100 compete rifles sold to the public.
They look amazing! I want one now.
There is one for trade on the trade section of ar15.com.
Sure he’ll take a cash offer. Beautiful guns and Lmt is top notch

That one is a .223. I asked him how much cash he would “trade” for it. Think he is pretty he’ll bent on keeping it.
South American-I've read (on the internet so of course it has to be true) that they were a cancelled order from Venezuela.
If you don’t mind sharing, how much was he looking to get? I’ve been keeping an eye out for one of these after seeing one online a few months back...wondering if I should move on if they are that outrageous.
Thank you to everyone who has replied. I am still looking as most get picked up rather soon.
LMT was selling them for $1800 for the 308 complete rifle. The 556 was a little less IIRC-like 1499 or so.
Pretty sure people are getting or trying to get close to double that now.
They are sweet
This is the article I was looking for:
www.tactical-life.com
This is back from 2015, announcement for a military agency contract for rifles with green anodized uppers and lowers, and green furniture.
I thought I read somewhere that the contract ended and LMT sold off the remaining upper/lowers (as completed rifles) and additional uppers that were stocked as replacement parts per the contract.
I also read somewhere that Karl Lewis does not like anodizing and will not do it again.
That’s all I know.

An update. I have bought 2 uppers but still looking for the Mars lowers that go with them.
Any Interest in an SA Overrun MWS?
If you have a lower, I'll buy it right now
