    Except the Mk46 mod 1... It's fluted...

    Trident- Where the hell you been? You are responseable for this creation and I haven't seen you around for you to get credit.







    Marvin did my barrel and assembled the upper. The barrel is a Rainier Arms UM 16in.

    That system was designed to shed weight. Best bud was a mk 48 / 46 gunner in 2nd batt. He did love it like a baby though. I still stand by its a useless process for gear queers.

    Damn brother, that is absolutely outstanding....what a beautiful gun that is. That is what happens when you take your time and invest wisely on a build. The proof is in the pudding on Marvin's work above, he works magic on those dimples

    Great to see you on M4C and now that badass new Recce. Me and the Kiddy site parted ways for good.

    The most recent pal of mine who got work done on some MRP barrels said that it took several weeks turnaround and be prepared to wait some time. If you don't mind having your barrel/s gone for a month or so than the work is well worth it imho and totally proprietary

    It took some time, but it was worth the wait. Mine was about 6-7 weeks.

    It's not for everyone, but it looks cool to me.

    I have several guns/uppers I can use for 3gun but I'd love to have my SS410 16" midlength dimpled from the low pro gas block forward. After getting that dimpled I'd like my BCM BFH 14.5" midlength dimpled.
