I'm looking at an MWS in a CL 16" barrel at my local shop. I know now isn't the time to be picky, but I'd really like an 18" or 20". Is it possible to throw a different drop in barrel on that gun, or am I stuck with only LMT barrels?
You are pretty much stuck with the lmt barrels. There are a couple places out there that will convert other barrels for use in the mws but that seems like it would end up being a good bit of trouble. I was going to get one converted for use, but by luck I found an lmt 1/8" twist 6.5cm barrel and snagged that for drop in use.
Also, if you don't want that mws I'd love a pm of the contact info for the shop with that rifle in stock.
I've shot the 16" MWS out to 900 yards using cheap 150 gr Walmart ammo.
I would like to set up a 18" second MWS but have not had any luck finding a god one in the last two months. With the frenzy now I suggest you pick up the 16 if the price is reasonable.
I had some picky friends yesterday.....2 years from now they're still going to be empty handed 2 years from now....or pay 3x (if not more) for something even less similar to what they wanted.
