    I'm waiting for KAC to start shipping their uppers with the URX3 rifle length rails since I really want a longer slimmer profile handgaurd. I wasn't willing to pay the cost that they wanted for a barrel nut wrench to change it myself or willing ship it out. With the added cost I decided to sell wait and buy new.
    So 300$ for a wrench is to much for you? Troy sent me a wrench free.

    Yup $300 is to much. DD sent me a free one with my lite rail too. I don't know enough about what's involved manufacturing wise; for KAC to be charging $300 for their wrench. I assume there's a reason and don't care to speculate since I have no idea.

    I think $250 - $300 for the URX wrench that is worthless for anything else is retarded.

    At least LMT supplies a torque-wrench with their MRP...albeit a crappy one. Still, it gets the job done, and you can still buy a better one that can be used for other things for less than $250.

    IMHO, the URX should not be user installed. The ONLY reports I've ever seen of one coming loose were from end user or aftermarket installs. If someone wants a different rail, there are several qualified armorers that will do the work for reasonable cost.

    I apologize for hijacking your thread.

    Hate to say it you were right.

    You know how to find me.

    I'll take my BM and go sit in the corner.

    There was a member on the forums, I believe, that took an MRP 12" to Iraq or Afghanistan and had some serious issues, then switched back to his issued upper. That's all I've ever read on the subject. The only reason I even remember is because I was surprised it failed so quickly and assumed there was a defect. Don't have any clue who he was. This may have been on Lightfighter actually.

    Anyway, I've owned both. I think both are great rifles. If I was going for accuracy, I'd go MRP. If I was going to be running a lot of drills, carrying it, etc., I'd go for the sr15, maybe.

    I don't know, I own BCM, standard LMT 10.5", Colt and Noveske now. The MRP is one solid system. I had some issues with the URX II's, both of them, so I don't think I'd care much for the URX III either.

    Obviously if you want to swap barrels/calibers, the MRP is the way to go. I have to say though, owning the MRP and 2 SCARs, I've never swapped a barrel, though I did think about it once.

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If its bench rest, the new SR15 LR (I think - the one with the stainless barrel) or the MRP would be options I'd look at, not the standard SR15.

    Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe

    For any fellow or soon to be fellow LMT MRP owners out there...

    REI is currently doing their 20% off any 1 item member sale (until 4/15).. They sell the Effetto Mariposa torque wrench kit for $185 everyday, which is the best price anyway... But.. Knock 20% off of that.. And free shipping, and it's a fantastic federal for a really quality piece of kit for anyone, but especially MRP owners.

    Link: http://www.rei.com/product/823101/ef...que-wrench-kit

    Back on topic... I would get (and did get) the MRP over the KAC.

    The URX wrenches are now about $100 retail.
