I will see if anyone else wants to add to this, but if not I can throw some pictures of it up and give you a little info on it. It is the sole effort of Vltor but is designed to interface with all of the conventional barrels, handguards, doo-dads and junk just like any of the upper receivers out there now.
What I can say is that the MUR is not an ubber tight, must be hand fit upper receiver... it is made to the exact design specifications and held to those specs -- Without pissing on anyone's parade, there are very few uppers that are really held to spec and more than a few that are just reverse engineering.
Simply put, anyone can download a CAD/CAM file from the internet and machine receivers... but how close they are to actual specs is a shot in the dark, or you can measure the hell out of a handfull of Colt uppers and run what you guessed -- also, if someone works with the published specifications, they can play with tolerences and make the receiver easier and cheaper to make. The MUR is none of these...
