    confirmed: yeah they told me that a month or so ago too.

    But I do have one order in with them before they shut the list down so I should get some one of these days.

    I also think a significant amount of their (Vltor MUR/VIS) production is now being diverted directly to Noveske.

    Many, if not most, of their models are using them now (or are supposed to).

    ACK, one more reason to get an N4.

    Any updates on a VLTOR MUR guys?
    If they are all going to Noveske, then I sure haven't seen it. Maybe a few Noveske rifles trickling out from time to time, but that's it.


    Does anyone know if the original MUR's are still being made, or have they strictly gone to the FORGED MUR's?
    Thanks.

    This might be tangential, but can anyone tell me the actual benefits of receivers like the MUR? The selling point, as I've heard it, is greater receiver rigidity and therefore accuracy, but I'm not sure how this works. I've always thought of accuracy primarily as a function of barrel quality and a repeatable, tight bolt/barrel extension lockup. Does the MUR really add that much consistency to the bolt/BE lockup that accuracy noticeably improves?

    These things have always seemed about as necessary to me as billet lowers.

    You DO need it. You need it to sell to me.

    I am, in fact, sitting on a UBR, an SSA, and MUR. I waited 6-8mo for each, but it's been worth it.

    If your budget has some flexibility, and you know you're going to keep buying AR stuff, just hop in a couple backorder lines, and see how they go.

    Since all of the MURs are now FORGED, and no longer milled billet, then I am wondering if they indeed are built any straighter/truer than a standard forged upper anymore?

    They do ship. I had 10 come in a week or two ago. I had 45 people on my notify list and got 13 calls out of that list -- first 10 got them. Gone in 24 hours
