    LMT MRP CQB

    MRPs are one of the few truly monolithic uppers, a topic that has been discussed in numerous threads. A major benefit of the mrp is that it only takes 2-3 minutes to changes barrels in the MRP system. You can use chrome lined which they come with or purchase a stainless steel match type barrels. You can change barrel lengths, etc. this can all be done in your garage (or while your on the toilet if you'd like--bottom line it's really simple) with a torque wrench that comes with the upper. I recently sold a DD 300 blackout upper because I acquired an lmt mrp 300 blackout barrel. That said, I don't change barrels all that often but I do a couple of times a year and its very nice to have the functionality. You also can mount optics anywhere on the top rail to suit your purposes.

    MRPs are top notch uppers. i have owned and shot LMTs, colts, BCMs, daniel defense and knights armament. i recently thinned the herd based on what i shoot (stays) and what i dont (goes). This was based over the last two years. i parted with colts, BCM, daniel defense and an lmt (non mrp). Of the 556 factory guns, i still have a couple complete lmt rifles with MRPs and all my KAC. To be clear, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or own any the rifles I had from the other manufacturers. They are all "top tier". In fact, I'm going on my 2.5 months of not owning at least 1 colt 556 since 1989 and I'm doing alright.

    It comes down to preference and purpose. If you are looking for a very high quality basic AR to shoot from time to time and you are sure you aren't going to change/experiment with barrel lengths, calibers, etc. then go with any uppers from those listed above (and a few others) including the MRP but it is more expensive than high quality basic upper but not much once you add a good rail. If any of the benefits of the monolithic upper and the mrp design appeal to you then go with it. You won't be disappointed.

    Another aspect I forgot to mention is that you can swap between di and piston system from lmt. It's basically just like changing barrels. I tried the piston; didn't like it and sold it. Very easy.

    Too bad they have a 3 year wait, for the MRP.

    Watch Rainier Arms. They've had a couple of shipments come in recently and the MRPs usual stay in stock about a day, which is long enough to get the email notification and act, but it's just the barreled upper. They are not coming with BCG or charging handles.

    Read description, "comes with chrome lined barrel assembly". And mrp is probably one of the best uppers you can buy, not a regular upper with all the barrel option, and accuracy second to none!
