MidwayUSA has one in 300 WM and an SMR in 300 PRC.So it looks like the civilian market won’t get much until 2024? Or can Barrett actual get caught up sometime next year? Trying to decide if I should just settle on an AI AXSA…

No, Barrett used to offer it as a color choice, but no longer do.Is that green MRAD a custom job?

You can't even find them at scalper prices on GB...How often do the barrel/caliber conversion kits show up?
They seem to be out of stock everywhere.
OP just canceled a Proof 338 Norma barrel i had on BO…so not looking goodAnyone have any idea what the proof barrel backorder is looking like? Optics planet quotes 1-3 months but not sure if i believe them
That's because you ordered from Backorder Planet. They don't carry any product, just cross-shippers. (with some exceptions)OP just canceled a Proof 338 Norma barrel i had on BO…so not looking good
Sendit_mrad on instagram has. He said it doesn't feed right. My 6.5saum doesnt feed right, i have mk machining working on a different follower so it will pop the round up and feed right.Has anyone done a 6mm GT barrel kit for the MRAD?
I'm wondering if it will feed?

Send them an email with your serial number they have great csI have an MRAD with EJ prefix. Does that mean it has a large breech and I need a large breech to small breech conversion kit on these barrels currently on sale in the Barrett site? Also, these “new” barrels aren’t listed on their 2022 price list catalog. Are these older barrels?
*** Edited*** From my contact at barret... he says these barrels don't have the updated bolt head that the ej's have. The newer bolts have a shelf cut in them due to the bolt pin being captive. Early model aj's were larger breech. AJ001200 and below will need the L to S breech conversion. AJ models with a small breech are compatible, CJ are compatible, Early AJ and EJ will need the conversion.I have an MRAD with EJ prefix.

Anyone else seen that Timney released a trigger? Wonder how it is compared to the factory, kinda wish Trigger Tech would follow suit.
My MRAD with custom barrel, atlas super cal, Schmidt and Bender 5-45 and TBAC 338 can weighed in at 21.7lbs it didn't need anymore weight.Anyone running weights on their MRAD? I started thinking about it, but all the weights I find are large rectangle designs that are going to look silly and ruin the profile.
I've had a prototype model for a while now and it is a very nice upgrade.I don't see much value in it over the factory trigger - looks like the same adjustments the factory trigger has. Depending on what you're trying to do, you can clean up the factory trigger pretty nicely with a little effort. Now if they allowed for the 1st stage to be removed (without just removing the spring and letting it flop around) - that would be of value. In theory you could do that to the factory trigger, but it would require a bit more work.
I've got the MDT MLOK weights on mine. Works just fine and doesn't look too bad.Anyone running weights on their MRAD? I started thinking about it, but all the weights I find are large rectangle designs that are going to look silly and ruin the profile.
That location looks familiar...I've had a prototype model for a while now and it is a very nice upgrade.

Yeah local range put them on almost all of the 100yrd benches, and raised them up about 3-4 inches but they are slippery. I personally don't like them but this is one of the few that has a working camera so I deal with it. I thnk it was supposed to be like bed lining but obviously didn't come out that way.Tell us more about that bench top. Looks slick

I'm running the Spuhr 20 MOA on my MRAD with my NF 7-35 ATACR. However, the clamp piece cracked which was a little unsettling. Mile high sent me a replacement but have lost a little confidence in that mount. Everything was torqued to exact specs with a fix-it-stick driver so I wouldn't expect to crack after 150 rounds of use.I have an FDE MRAD in 300 Norma on the way as well as a NF 7-35 Mil-XT. Will add more calibers most likely - perhaps proof, we shall see.
I am looking at connecting the scope and rifle together with an M-Brace 1.5” high 20 moa - looking for suggestions on the mounting system if you MRAD dudes have a better idea.
thanks
Yikes yeah I would expect more out of that name brand. I've heard of a few others cracking too. I have probably 600-1k between 6.5CM and 300PRC on my M-Brace and the only issue I've had is one of the pins started poking out. Pushed it back flush and it's fine.I'm running the Spuhr 20 MOA on my MRAD with my NF 7-35 ATACR. However, the clamp piece cracked which was a little unsettling.

The military went with the Nightforce mount for the MRAD so I just ordered one with the raptor shelf for my 41XC build. It will be a dedicated rifle with Defiance Rebel action and Bartlein ModBB 34" barrel(no taper) on a Cadex chassis.

So I actually ended up ordering a 30 moa m-brace. the scope came in today and the rifle should roll in Monday. I played with the ATACR today and I have 35 mils total.

Ok I know this is going to make the crybaby’s cry but I have both the mk22 and the ballista and planning to do a video on YouTube conparing them but I think the ballista has some stupid design features and in my opinion the Barrett is the winner in every aspect.. MK22 308/300nm/338nm and soon 300prc my ballista is 308/338LM y’all let me know if the video would be of interestSo here is a question I've never been able to find an answer to: How does the FN Ballista's bolt compare to that of the Barrett MRAD (for 338)?
I remember seeing a Shotshow youtube clip where Barrett himself was discussing and taking apart a 338 MRAD, and he mentioned specifically that the bolt was designed from the ground up to handle 338 LM (as opposed to some other setup's, which started with a 308 or 300 WM action and then retuned it for 338). Now, I'm not sure if he was referring any specific competitor (like FN's ballista) or it was just a marketing gimmick, but it did spark my interest in learning how the FN and Barrett platforms compare to one another.
I admit up front, that i have preference for all things FN, but Barrett's reputation as a company and the MRAD specifically has gotten my attention (especially since it seems to sell for a price slightly below the Ballista).
I want to see all content related to the MK22. It is on my very short list of new rifles I want in my safe.Ok I know this is going to make the crybaby’s cry but I have both the mk22 and the ballista and planning to do a video on YouTube conparing them but I think the ballista has some stupid design features and in my opinion the Barrett is the winner in every aspect..
