LMT CQB MRP Just purchased !!

82ndtrooper · #1 07-20-10, 11:18

I was in the mood for another rifle.

Cruising through Gunbroker, LMT specifically, I purchased an LMT CQB MRP "gas" 16" rifle with SOPMOD stock. Payed it for 5 minutes after I hit the "Buy Now" button. Should be shipped today or tomorrow to my FFL.

I just love LMT stuff.

Pics later after the rifle is in my hands. Did I say I love LMT stuff ?

You'll love it. I have one just like it. VERY solid piece.

LMTRocks · #3 07-20-10, 11:52

Very nice. You will love the MRP CQB.

You will not regret one single cent of that purchase and you just unlocked a universe that will take years for you to discover all its potential. Nothing even close to the MRP platform imho, and congrats on making such a wise decision you will enjoy it literally more and more you learn about it.

Welcome to the family. It might be time for an MRP picture thread

the_accuser · #6 07-20-10, 21:32

Congrats! Like the others have said...MRPs kick ass. If I could only keep one of my toys the MRP CQB would be it. TRIDENT82...I know you want that MRP SBR setup...

The_accuser is an OG MRP'r....who truly utilizes the overwhelming potential that these have over anything else that exists.....he has posted above one the sexiest shorties under the sun, running suppressed application in both short and non nfa configs, a beautifully well balanced carbine with dimples that is such a nice touch.....and he has not posted nearly close to all of diff. configs that Ive seen of his. He has long range capabilities or did with some awesome precision type configs. using the stretch chassis.

I want that 10.5" D.I. shorty unreal bad....it has to handle like a ferrari.....and I have seen some Italian dude and SMGlee go straight f/a til they were smoking profusely...all without a hiccup.

the_accuser · #10 07-20-10, 22:23

Oh you must mean this rig...LOL Actually, I just gave this one to one of my sister's who graduated from Med school....I'm such a nice brother. The 10.5" is so freakin' awesome. I tell you, the 16" with dimples balances out really well. I sent the barrel to ADCO to have it contoured under the hand guard and dimpled up front...get reduction in weight. I need to take a few pics with the 12.5" 6.8 caliber barrel...I haven't fired that one yet.

Dang it all UPS was supposed to bring my MRP upper back from LMT today and the bastard didnt show. Welcome to the club man. Awsome coustomer service with these guys.

Winnerkd · #13 07-20-10, 23:53

If I was going to take the LMT plunge, would you all recommend the 16'' chrome lined with the rifle gas system? Is there any known issues with this system?

Killer, nice job on the OD aspect. I scorer the net day in and day out for MRP stuff and now by extension MWS and so I bet that is a new gun considering I have never seen it before

Damn, now we share this...my sister is now out and is a trauma surgeon but you know my freaking pain, its sucks to follow those shoes.

ETA...my sister will have to pry my mrp stuff outta my cold dead hands

I've been debating on if I want to add a 14.5" rifle length MRP to the family.

They really are slick tech compared to your typical railed AR15.

Sorta like this build

Duffy's 14.5" is one of the finest and the fact that it is one of the earliest models I know about...most likely made in Oct/Dec 04' and he still hasn't bent a rail

or any other problems....makes it pretty clear how unbreakable the design and materials are in em.

The last thing I would ever get rid of is a stretch MRP.....I am just as bonkers today over them as I was when I first saw them....I will admit freely, its a flat out love affair

I have a couple of 16" DI barrels and all work great...you shouldn't have any worries.

variablebinary, that 12.5" piston SBR setup is the bomb....hopefully Santa will bring me the 12.5" piston kit for Christmas...

That's funny that our sister's just got out of med school TRIDENT82. My sister is a Perfusionist. I actually have younger sisters...bless my Dad...LOL Lucky for him all of them love to shoot. The sister that just graduated Med school was so happy to be landing a job in a gun friendly state...LOL

I am now down to just this one CQB MRP chassis. With selling the spare rifle MRP chassis I am going to get a factory LMT 10.5" SBR. Once I get it approved I will switch out the Noveske lower for the LMT one so my SBR MRP is nearly 100% LMT.

Some nice looking rifles in this thread I started.

It's been shipped to my FFL. Hopefully will have it in my hands by Saturday or Monday at the latest.

Now, just what optics do I want on this wonderful firearm ? I'm going to run the Aimpoint with 3X Magnifier both on larue mounts with a Troy rear folding BUIS. I like the A2 style sight that comes with the rifle for up front.

Keep the photos coming !!

I picked up an LMT gas CQB MRP. On the left side of the upper, there is some rather sloppy engraving ( not a roll mark). I don't have the gun close by and don't remember exactly what is reads. Anyone else have this on their LMT? It does not affect the performace of the weapon; it just looks a little shoddy.
