So you would bet your left nut on two pieces of hardware you have even touched or had first hand experience with? Wow I hope you don’t do that with everything in your life because you will eventually have to sit down to pee.

I do on sure things.
Thanks for worrying about me. There’s always a punchers chance that the SLR is better, and ATRS dropped the ball completely, don’t get me wrong.
But proven track records will say otherwise. Did you have a helping hand in the SLR design, is that why you’re bitter it sucks?
Who care's which is better? Either sell it or don't buy it if you don't like one or the other.
Back to what this thread is for now.
I now have all the parts for one of the two MS builds I'm excited about.
MRA 18.6 pencil barrel .223 wylde (Black) only using a thread protector
MRA V1 15" hand guard
Superlative Arms adjustable gas black
V7 Titanium ambi safety selector/bolt catch/ mag release/ castle nut/ QD endplate (all black)
BCM gunfighter grip mod-2 (black)
Raptor SL charging handle (black)
Daniel defensecollapsible butstock (black)
Geissele rapid fire trigger
Brownells lightweight BCG TiN
3oz buffer with chrome silicon spring
Everything is black except for the BCG. I'll be getting the receiver/handguard/and buffer tube cerekoted with a semi gloss black.
Will be putting a Nikon Blackforce 1000 1-4x24 mounted on a nightforce 20MOA unimount (currently rides on my SLR. great scope for the money)

Curious about the actual weight of this barrel.
Website says 1lb 9oz. Mine was shipped monday due to the backorder when I bought it during their christmas sale. When I get it I'll put it on the scale and let you know.

Mine was a little heavier than advertised I wanna say 1lb 10oz. And I also had to send it back because the flared profile on muzzle end was the same diameter as the gas journal and my gas block would not slide over it the tolerance was to tight and the beed blasted finish added a drag factor, I was gonna heat up the gas block to get it on but that’s a one way trip and I was thinking about coating the barrel. Anyway MRA has been pretty good about the whole deal, but I’m a little disappointed it didn’t work the first time and there turn around has been a little slow as I sent it back in the beginning of December and they haven’t fixed it yet.

Wow that's 1.6lbs. Very light.
My experience with pencil barrels is that the first two shots are Sub MOA, after that they open up
No worries for a hunting rig , but if you plan on doing any target shooting for tiny groups, you’re gonna spend way to much timeWaiting for the barrel to cool down.
Thought I’d post some useless info, because I’m bored ha ha
I just assembled all my MS parts on a stag U/L.
CA CFW 20 inch barrel
True north brake( it works really welll).
BAD ridge line 15 inch handguard
Geiselle HSNM trigger
Maritime bolt catch
Brownells BCG
Brownells buffer tube assembly
Brownells butt stock
Raptor ambi CH
Total weight 6.2 lbs.
I’m going to change the Brownells aluminum butt stock for a CTR.
Should knock a few ounces off
Now I gotta switch it all back
