“The Trooper offers a really great opportunity for fans of the Colt AR-15 platform,” said Justin Baldini, product director for Colt, in a statement. “We set out to create something that is right in line with what today’s Colt M4 customer wants, so we started with our industry-standard LE6920 and worked with Centurion Arms to develop a new M-LOK capable free-floated forend just for the Trooper.”

The spec-sheet for the base 6920 is pretty much the exact same, word-for-word, especially in the barrel section.

It stands to reason that this is a chrome lined 6920 OEM with an OEM Centurion rail.

IE the best deal coming or going.

I just wished I needed an AR, but thats not the case. Happy for the guys that are looking. I love me some Colt and some Cent. rails too.

I am in the same boat. I have a 16" midlength with a Troy rail that is all setup as a fighting rifle. I don't need another 16", and if I do, it would be a DMR from Larue Tactical or some such that is moa/sub-moa. Otherwise, it is an SBR upper / suppressor host.

All that said, I am trying really hard to resist getting another rifle as a loaner...

I actually just joined this forum to post here.
I'd been waiting to find a great price on the mps-b, but kept missing the best sales. I found this on grab a gun for $725 shipped. I pulled the trigger without really thinking.
So, I know it's new, but on the advertisements, I keep seeing posts that it's awful and overpriced. Not sure why. Does anyone here have one yet? Mine should be here mid week.

Welcome aboard Dizzo. Post pics when you get one!

Looks like they finally got the hand guard top rail to match the upper rail height. CCU never did on any example I've seen.

Until someone can give you a concrete reason why it's overprice and sucks, I wouldn't listen to a word. This is the best deal I have seen on a new AR in a long time. Let the haters hate. This is a darn nuce rifle for well under $800.

I'm not sure what exactly is different between a standard CMR rail and the one the trooper comes with, but here's a shot of the markings on it.

Looks like the mounting system is missing a screw...

[cl2]

Yep. Based on the pictures I've seen of the standard CMR rail, that middle screw looks to secure the rail by passing through a groove in in the barrel nut. Mine is securely mounted, however.

[jackblack73]

That's interesting because that center screw interfaces with the barrel nut, making it near impossible for the rail to move forward. Is that compensated for in some other way? Maybe a torque plate like what MI uses?
