The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
- Thread starter IanHusaberg
- Start date
When I was going through the purchasing process and decided what I wanted, the blokes at NIOA and Barrett went so far out of their way to help me. Mick Cubis is the CS guy that was helping me. Absolute chad. I love NIOA and Barrett.
So, If I was looking for a can that I could use on both .338 LM and 300 WM, what can would have the ability to quick mount on both? Any Ideas?
Has anyone tried "upgrading" their MRAD trigger? I've always been a single-stage guy, so I was thinking of swapping it out, but wanted to hear your feedback.
Also, sorry if inappropriate, but im going to hold up another member of The Hide: @softcock makes some GREAT stuff. Here are pics of it mounted to my Eberlestock Sniper Sled, 52". If you run a multi-caliber rig, you need this. Period. Build quality is top notch, it runs perfect behind the accesory bags, against the main bag. Two MOLLE snaps and you're in. You don't have to unthread them or anything, just unsnap and fold the back of the pouch up.

“You need this” “it”
I may be a complete idiot, but I can’t tell what “it” is. What is the product, and what does it do?
He makes barrel bags, quality gear, with MOLLE. He set this one up so it attaches behind the accesory bags on the outside of my Sled bag, against the main part. Now, my .308 is mounted on my MRAD (or my DTI SRS) but I can bring my .300WM and .338LM kits with me and keep it all organized in the field. No loose barrels inside my bag.
That’s awesome. I’ll have to look into that! Thanks for sharing.
I like the straight and two-stage trigger.
I changed the spring, set the second stage to 500/550 grams (1.102/1.212 lbs).

I was really hoping you were going to say you had a flat single-stage you didn't like so we could trade LOL

I’m having a surprisingly difficult time finding any info on how to adjust or remedy the extremely heavy 2 stage trigger. This is probably one of the heaviest trigger pulls I have felt on a rifle. It is crisp, but way too heavy. Backing out the set screw on top past flush is a no go since the upper receiver then contacts it. I am assuming that the only fix is spring replacements. Is anyone aware of a company selling tried and tested springs? Open to other suggestions as well. Not really feeling like purchasing an aftermarket trigger, so I am working with the factory one.

I use this spring, it works fine. The second stage is adjustable to 500/550 grams (1.102/1.212 lbs).

I also “liked” that ‘handling’ and it caused an internal protest. But when the trigger became almost perfect, I calmed down
I just ordered the spring, is it hard to swap out? Curious before I go exploring
Nope ... here's where I bought my last two MRAD barrels ... awesome product, fair prices, and really responsive customer service. Can't be more positive on my experiences here:

Replacing the spring on the trigger is not difficult, the main thing is to be careful when dividing the trigger and remember how parts were arranged.
