Or just Cerakote your barrel, mags, Niightforce Scope, ARCA Rail, Bipod and Bagrider.
What is this on the bottom of the Mk22's stock and where do I get one? The regular MRADs don't come with this - can you buy this separately somewhere?
Very Nice!! Who did the Maker's kit for you?Got my 300 PRC Proof Barrel in today, wasn't a terrible wait ordered it back in Oct. Need to find a solution for the shoulder being wider than the brake I have.

If you like the break keep it. I'm into functionality rather than looks.Got my 300 PRC Proof Barrel in today, wasn't a terrible wait ordered it back in Oct. Need to find a solution for the shoulder being wider than the brake I have.

While Proof Research has the barrel extension’s to make an MRAD barrel in any caliber you want, the problem is finding a bolt face for .223 because to my knowledge Barrett doesn’t make a bolt face for anything smaller than a .308 cartridge family.Has anyone heard of a .223 conversion kit for the MRAD? I'd be interested in one, or I will have to get it for the DT.

How much room underneath cap to top of rail, waiting on MRAD but already order same scope but ordered 34mm Spuhr mount?Yes, here is the NF ATACR 7x35-56 with Spuhr SP-4002 on my MRAD MK22. Plenty of room even for the scope cap.

I ordered this and it sits perfect on the MRAD with just a hair clearance for the cap: Spuhr SP-4602: 34mm Picatinny Mount 6MIL/20.6MOA - 1.50"-FDE. If you plan on using this for ELR, the additional 6mils will be desirable.How much room underneath cap to top of rail, waiting on MRAD but already order same scope but ordered 34mm Spuhr mount?
Here are some more pics. You will see that the scope cap will not fit if the cap is flipped down. If you want to flip your objective lens cap down, you will need a higher mount, such as the SP-4004 (48mm) or the SP-4008 (44mm).How much room underneath cap to top of rail, waiting on MRAD but already order same scope but ordered 34mm Spuhr mount?

That is one fully stocked store. What store is this?View attachment 7778426Just picked up my first MRAD. Looking for any/ all advice from folks with experience. Will be firing first rounds tomorrow. Anyone have good DOPE cards for 175 FGMM or .300 NM 215 BERGER? What do you usually feed it? (I am unable to do my own reloads currently) Located in OR for anyone who’s down to send rounds. I’m always open to network/ meet new folks with the same passions.
I haven't seen stripper numbers before but you can do some math with Gun University review. Towards the bottom they have full rifle weights and barrel weights in a chart. Proof has all their weights on their site. I haven't seen a weight listed for Barrett's own carbon barrels.Anyone have a weight for a stripped MRAD with Proof Carbon barrel? I have experience with the steel barrels but can’t find weights for the Carbon to decide if it’s worth it. Please let me know what caliber and barrel length, Thanks!
TGG in Tennessee. Great folks!That is one fully stocked store. What store is this?
Do you own the regular MRAD, if so does the muzzle brake accept a suppressor or is new brake needed?Or just Cerakote your barrel, mags, Niightforce Scope, ARCA Rail, Bipod and Bagrider.

The stock brake will accept Barrett's suppressors. If you want to run any others you will have to swap muzzle devices. I've ran OSS, SilencerCo, and right now a Form1 on my MRAD.Do you own the regular MRAD, if so does the muzzle brake accept a suppressor or is new brake needed?
Pretty sure the .300wm and below barrels run 5/8-24 and the lapua class including 300norma manufactured after 1/2013 use 3/4-24 threads.Do you own the regular MRAD, if so does the muzzle brake accept a suppressor or is new brake needed?
I may be a bad example on this but I always just removed my barrels to clean them, on my DT. I plan to do the same on my MRAD so no Bore guide for meAlright guys quick question, and by the way the search function sucks when you put MRAD in it, What bore guides are you guys using for cleaning? I've been looking at picking one up this winter but they all look short to me. I know Dewey makes one for 338 but I need one for 6.5CM and the 300PRC. Thanks!
call Dewey Rods and they’ll sell you one.Alright guys quick question, and by the way the search function sucks when you put MRAD in it, What bore guides are you guys using for cleaning?

Either remove your barrel or these for $65 each. https://store.barrett.net/p-5418-mrad-bore-guide-338-1-o-ring.aspxAlright guys quick question, and by the way the search function sucks when you put MRAD in it, What bore guides are you guys using for cleaning?

I was wondering about this as an option. Also would make cleaning the camber a bit easier too I would imagine. Thanks for the options I'll make a couple of calls today to see.I may be a bad example on this but I always just removed my barrels to clean them, on my DT.

Nice job, what's the conversion run, Chad?A little job I did yesterday. Adding M-Lok slots to an MRAD.
Whats your load? Primer and powder? Have you tried any factory ammo that shot better? I have a load with 92grns H1000 federal large rifle primer, lapua brass and 300 grain Berger hybrids that shoots 1/2in at 100. Super accurate out to a mile. Getting 2800fps from my magnetospeed. Also shooting suppressed.Looking for feedback from those of you running the 26" 1/9.4" 338LM barrel.... what kind of accuracy are you seeing? What bullet is giving you the best results?
I've put 100 rounds of 300gr bergers through my 338LM and so far I am not seeing the accuracy I'd like to. Groups are pretty consistently 1.25" no matter what I do to tweak my load. Thinking of trying the 285 ELDM but wanted to see what others were doing first. I'd be happy if I could consistently get to 3/4 moa accuracy.
Thanks

So 7977 isn't exactly an ideal powder. I remember seeing some old posts of guys that couldn't get that powder to work for them, nor H1000 but Retumbo turned his gun to a real performer.The only factory ammo I've been able to try was 40 rds of HSM 300gr SMK..... accuracy was poor (1.5 moa) with it as well.
Since then I've been trying to find a hand load I'm happy with.
300 gr berger hybrids- I've tried .030 (2 5rd groups shown below) , .050 & .075 off the lands
90.1 grs IMR 7977
Federal magnum primer
Lapua brass
Today across 10 rds I ran an average of 2739 fps with an ES of 19fps and an SD of 6.7..... very happy with velocity but you can see these 100 yd groups are brutal. the flyer on the right dot up by itself was my first round.
Really hope I can figure out what's up as right now I'm really scratching my head.

If you can try a regular primer, non magnum. Also if you can try h1000 or reloader 33. Sometimes a different powder is key. I’ve never used im7977 so can’t comment on it.The only factory ammo I've been able to try was 40 rds of HSM 300gr SMK..... accuracy was poor (1.5 moa) with it as well.

I've got some H1000 so I'll give that a try. Appreciate the comments!If you can try a regular primer, non magnum. Also if you can try h1000 or reloader 33. Sometimes a different powder is key. I’ve never used im7977 so can’t comment on it.
Try a 250 grain scenar with that imr7977 and if you can’t get it too shoot I’d say it’s the powder.
I bought the 300 and 338 bore guides from the Barrett site ... they fit great and make cleaning easier and safer for the barrel.Alright guys quick question, and by the way the search function sucks when you put MRAD in it, What bore guides are you guys using for cleaning?

I've bought them directly from Barrett, and also from Europtic.Where is the best place to buy Mrad barrel kits thinking of getting a 308 and maybe a 338nm
I could only find them from Barrett and as of last week they ACTUALLY have them in stock. They didn't and I had to wait, causing some issues for me. But they are in stock. Mine arrived todayWhere is the best place to buy Mrad barrel kits thinking of getting a 308 and maybe a 338nm
You need to be a supporting member to post it for sale.Some of you guys know my story of owning two MRAD's now trying to get one in my hands before the inauguration. Well my buddy has finally committed and has picked 338LM. That leaves me with an unfired MRAD 300PRC barrel. I've never put anything up for sale on here. I searched a little bit for rules but didn't find anything.
