The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

[wayfaerer1]

I've asked in the past and they said it's not something they do. Has that changed?

You can send your rifle in and they repaint it? Or you can custom order one in E-190?

Barrett will not do cerakate jobs on your MRAD. I called and asked over the summer and they said no.

So, I found a local guy to do mine.

That's what they told me too, but @Riverlife87 said they re-cerakoted his in E-190.

Maybe he found the right person at Barrett or something.

Yeah - he got lucky is all hah.

I literally called and talked to 3 different employees on different occasions and all of them said no to cerakoting.

That being said, they were very helpful with any questions I or my gunsmith/cerakoter had in terms of how to disassemble and reassemble everything.

And it was already mentioned, but the commercial MRAD is identical to the Mk22 sans the markings and different factory cerakote. And the different barrel lengths. But that's it. It's the same gun.

Commercial factory cerakote is H or E-265.
Mk22 is E-190.

The guy at Barrett actually laughed when I asked what the difference was between the Mk22 and the commercial version. He laughed and said, "dude - it's just a different color - paint that shit E-190 and you're 95% there."

I can live without the Mk22 markings on the side. That saves you $5000.

By the way, I'm not knocking guys who own legit Mk22s, those are awesome collector's pieces.
