Gorgeous, it looks, well, slim

 

[Dench]

I like the look of this thing.

 

[Hokus Grey]

Bsndwagon jumpers!

Love it!

 

[dudley2112]

always hated the big unnecessary quad rails... now that is pure ###y

 

[Paulinski]

Both MRP and MWS will be offered this way.

Any word for MRP .300 BLK barrels?

Lmt

I wonder if those slim foregrips will be offered for sale separately - would love to exchange the bulky quad rail on my LMT with that thing.

 

[Paulinski]

MRP is a monolithic upper so you can't just buy the rail itself.

 

[Rotorwing_Savior]

Oh, I like that! I never use my side rails, and only sometimes a little bit of the bottom rail, for a bipod. Smooth sides are where it's at, for me at least. Now who wants to buy my MRP, and MWS so I can get this latest option?

 

[Kearnz]

Whats the msrp on this? Price will dictate response

 

[NoChanceCW]

Samson evo rails are very close to that style if you are looking for just the rail.

 

[cableguy]

Was going to purchase a MRP this year but now I think I'll wait for this version.

They are about 100 bucks more than then regular model. Slim handguard is a double edged sword - it gets warmer faster as the support hand is closer to the barrel and there is less metal acting as heat sink. For each to his own.

 

[SCDL]

How much does she weigh?

 

[bigbush]

that would make the perfect coyote/varmit gun! (if only AR was not R )

 

[.45Barracuda]

How much does she weigh?

I am also interested to know the weight difference between that one and the regular MWS...

I was gonna say, I haven't shot an AR in a long time but remember mine would get hot as #### and smoke through the holes on the handguard.

 

[TheWharGoul]

Fondled it today, really enjoyed it. Charlie Phillips was awesome to talk to and really helpful even to a one of us Canadians.

 

[ESQ]

The polar opposite of the chunky Beretta. I like it.

 

[Questar]

We should be getting first deliveries of this version sometime this summer (@ July/August) but that's just an estimate right now.
