I am now taking Pre-Orders for the new LMT Gas Piston system that is scheduled to be released in November. You be able to choose from a new upper with the system installed with either a 16" or a 12" barrel and a Carbine length rail. If you already have an MRP (with a carbine lenght rail), you can also order the conversion kit to upgrade your existing MRP.
I don’t have any pricing info, but LMT is taking back orders in July and we are on the top of the list to be notified when they start.
There is no money required to be put on our order list, but when July comes around, I will send you an E-mail asking if your still interested. At that time, I will need a deposit to hold you place in line.
Please post your e-mail in this thread if you are interested.
Email sent on pre-order list & thanks for all of your help w/ this.
Edited to add I am WTB the 12" complete upper. MBGs1911@aol.com or (318) 469.9974 for contact.
Grant,
If one already has a 14.5" MRP, will it be possible to install the gas piston conversion kit on???
I am trying to determine the compatibility of all the bbl and rail lengths here.
IOW, will the gas piston upgrade kit, for a 16" rifle, be the exact same kit as one for a 14.5" rifle or what??? How about the 12" conversion kit? Will it be the same EXACT conversion kit as the 16" kit or what???
Thanks.
Also, will the MRP Gas Piston rifles ONLY be carbine length rails or is it just that the conversion kit will only be possible to be installed on the carbine length uppers???
WILL there be a rifle length gas piston rifle???
No, I’ve been in touch with Monica Sipp of LMT numerous times about the piston system, and it will not work with the 6.8. Possibly in the future though…
Edit, however, if you want a quantity of 250 or more, LMT will machine whatever you want, if it’s feasible!
