After waiting almost a year (some 90 days!!!) for my Barrett suppressor, finally got around to casing the whole thing. As most cases are way too small for the gun and the bipod I have fitted, I used a surplus Stinger case... bought several from Sportsmans Guide a few years! Good deal!
Fits up very nicely! And rugged as hell, but not very stealthy. So 'Boomer' is secure and ready for a Feb Road trip to Oklahoma. Among others.
Cleaning the 'foam' out of the stinger case SUCKED by the way. Talk about some over-built gummint glued-in-hard-as-a-rock foam. I used mattress memory foam. Worked great! But would not cut well with the electric carving knife, so used a sharp filet/butcher knife and it cut beautifully!
FItted the first layer in three pieces. Then the top layer was done with a single piece, as was the lid.
It's well-protected and the scope and grip (high and low points) are padded well-away from the aluminum case.
Spotting scope, SH knife, 30 rounds of ammo incl. 2 mags... and suppressor fit very nicely in the Stinger case. One leg is making contact with the aluminum and I plan on gluing a piece of felt in to keep the bipod from scuffing.
Yes, this is the "boomer'd" MRAD because I love the wood PSG-1 grip and adapted one designed for an AR. It's a sweet grip! Much nicer than the original. And, yes, I boomer'd an MRAD. Shut up slackers.
Happy New Year!!! Another 2022 project finished just in the nick of time for 2023 to arrive.
And congrats to all my fellow new MRAD owners! It is an awesome platform!
