I have an LMT rifle but not an MRP.
It's on the bucket list.
I think you may be correct or they were within months of each other. For the money I think they also dropped the ball by not including steel inserts in their mounting holes. Repeatedly screwing and unscrewing from aluminum would be a concern of mine. Centurion Arms I think realized this and included steel inserts in their slim rails, but they are also releasing both a keymod and m-lok rail this year....
How is it compared to the monolithic Colts?
I'll also add they go quick here on the EE, that should be a clue.
They were well represented at a recent TAPS course I attended (mine continues to work fine).
I enjoy the wide variety of "standard" AR15's and configurations enabled by the insane aftermarket support, but my favorite is still the MRP. I trust them the most, I enjoy them the most, and if I could only have one it would be an MRP.
"Relevant" was a poor choice of wording on my part. One of the top selling points of the MRP was the quick barrel-change feature, I was just curious if anyone has actually constantly changed barrels once getting one? We all have that "oh yeah, I'm definitely going to be using that feature!" when we buy something, but then maybe realize that you can have an entire new barrel + upper for about a hundred or so more.
Too bad Spike's no longer offer their .22LR MRP barrel...seemed like a fun and cheap way to pull the MRP out for more practice. I know Marvin can convert barrels, but it's just an added expense.
If plan A didn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters.
It is as relevant as the quad rail VIS.
