Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit
What Happened to the American dream? It came true. You're looking at it.
Each chassis is created using a 7lb plus solid piece of Aluminum bar stock and then is precisely machined down to form the completely one piece chassis that captures barrels with one single figure 8washer and 2 bolts. That is simply unmatched and prob. will never be matched....feat of absolute perfection in terms of engineering as well.
Held up well is quite the understatement as Ive yet to see any failures or otherwise wear and tear on Gen I's dating back to the fall of 2004 with as you mentioned simply ridiculous amts. of rounds down the tube. Duffy a fellow member prob. has more rounds logged than anybody I know of through one single chassis. Just for the record I have never seen a Gen I, II, or III ever have a structural problem and for that matter otherwise problem or failure of any kind....and to think that this site has allowed the uneducated to run free with things like the whole "MRP bent rail syndrome" which has occurred to date zero times and is so ridiculous it makes my head hurt.....bottom line is folks by in large have no real depth or understanding on the MRP system even though they "in theory" speak on things like Id rather have a bunch of heavy fully outfitted uppers instead of a mrp system since humping a bunch of awkward heavy uppers is better than just a barrel or two and perhaps a bcg.

I have an LMT MRP mid-length with a rifle length rail, for a couple of years now. I went with the LMT due to the their quality and with the notion of converting it to a 6.8 later down the road, primarily for hunting. It is pretty accurate and runs very well. The trade off ? It is heavier in weight compared to a traditional carbine or mi-length with a DD Lite rail 7.0 or even with a 9.0 rail (I have both). Another minus is higher cost when you decide to convert with a new barrel, BCG, Mags and ammo.

VIS!!
Why?
Because I wanted a Noveske.....
I put a Colt 6940CK on my old SporterII lower.
I wanted to replace the 20" barrel; it got me a 16" free-floated barrel.
No one with any sense is "humping a bunch of awkward uppers". Ive never seen anyone do that.
Even if they did I fail to see how thats any worse than 'humping a bunch of awkward barrels, optics, bcg's and a torque wrench' around.
Who would want to mess around taking barrels out, swapping BCG's, and optics around everytime they wanted to shoot a different setup? When I go shooting I usually take 3 AR's with me, and can swap between them in the amount of time it takes me to put one down and pick up another. I had no idea it was so difficult to carry 2 cases (1 pelican and 1 soft case) around or am I missing something? Theres no way Im going to sit there, get the TQ wrench out, pull the barrel out, put a new one in, switch optics, and then shoot. WTF kind of sense does that make? Not to mention you'd burn your hand trying to pull a hot barrel out.
I really don't think LMT had field swapping barrels in mind when they designed the MRP, and certainly not every time you want to shoot a different setup while at the range between strings of fire.
