MRF Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Can anyone confirm if it's burnt bronze as seen in daylight ? Edited November 13, 2012 by MRF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) That's burnt bronze. I've shot that exact rifle a few times. Titleist has since sold it and another friend now owns it. That's a pretty accurate likeness to how it looks under normal conditions. ETA: it's a lot like Patriot Brown ... but with a non-tactical sheen to it. It looks cool. Not tactical at all as it can be bright in direct sunlight, but still cool.

MRF Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks for clarifying. I had a little headache choosing between patriot brown, and burnt bronze... But I absolutely don't regret my final choice. Actually I think PB was the best possible choice, considering Cerakote pallete and one color paint scheme. I thought I love it right after painting and drying my receivers, but in fact I'm just starting to love it right now . And still no scratch after last game and gearbox repairs. Burnt bronze turns very goldish on most of pictures I've seen this far, so I had to ask. Edited November 13, 2012 by MRF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yup. Burnt Bronze has been getting very popular over the last year or so. I've never been much of a fan of it myself. I can appreciate it ... but it's not for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SHWEL Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I dont think they have gained in popularity at all. They are plenty popular. The price point keeps ownership to a limited number of people.. Not sure if that comment had anything to do with my pic post. But if you go back a year or so, you'll realise I have posted pics of it before. When it was released, I had to have it. I am a huge fan of the monolithic upper. I had the longer version, but this one was love at first sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had the longer version, but this one was love at first sight. I'd agree with that - They've been selling steadily since they were released, and a lot of places are out of stock of them now. I've only seen a couple at games I've been too, which is nice, but there's definitely a fair few out there. I sold my AEG a fair while ago, which I bought the day it was released - I still miss it now. I'm currently in the process of saving for the Bomber WOC, which I'm looking forward too. The MRP is my personal favourite AR-15, it's just a tad annoying that the GBBR version costs $900... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I really regret not picking that kit for $450 a few months ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Anyone knows if it's possible to put steel outer barrel, Element/Madbull/G&P/whatever into MRP ? Its outer barrel mount seems to be a little different, specially mounting of fake gas tube end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Doesn't MRP(GBBR at least) comes with their own design of outer barrel? The barrel fastening mechanism is different... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaBaBooey Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Doesn't MRP(GBBR at least) comes with their own design of outer barrel? The barrel fastening mechanism is different... Yes, it is different. The end of the barrel is threaded and screws into a socket. The socket is then held in the receiver using two large mounting screws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DFM56 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Sorry for the terrible cell picture, but I just had to post it. Neva' ben done befo, etc. No one wants mine! Unfortunately there's a difference between wanting and being able to afford it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I love the look of the MOE solid stock, I just know the LOP would be far too long for me and my small arms. Annoying. Didn't expect to see one on an AEG though, nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) The same about AEG ? Unfortunately so - The MRP outer barrel on the AEG fits differently into the receiver due to the one piece design. You could probably get one machined as it's not a hugely complicated design, but I can't imagine it being cheap. Here's a review I did way back when with some pictures 'n such: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/182553-the-gp-lewis-machine-tool-co-monolithic-rail-platform-cqb-carbine/ *edit* Since writing that review I've actually learned I was entirely wrong and G&P have done the DI MRP, and they haven't replicated the piston system. I just got excited and thought they had, because I didn't know better. Edited November 14, 2012 by hwagan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't expect to see one on an AEG though, nice. If it makes you feel any better, I have to go out of my way to find longer stocks for some of my rifles. It's not that long though, pretty sure it's the same lop as an acs in the first position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spetsnazdave87 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Got my JTF-2 C8 set up and sprayed. Just waiting on the 1 inch extension to make it a correct length barrel, and going to add a sling option soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
