Masterpiece Arms Teases MPA 308BA AR-Style Bolt Action Rifle
Hot on the heels of their purchase of custom rifle and barrel maker Spencer Arms, Masterpiece Arms are teasing a AR-15 style precision bolt action rifle they are calling the MPA 308BA.
We don’t know much about it other than the above low resolution photo and that it uses a Remington 700-style bolt, is chambered in .308 Winchester, has a detachable magazine, a threaded Spencer Precision Barrel, a monolithic rail/handguard and uses AR-15 pistol grips and stocks. The MSRP will be $2495.99 and it will not be available until next year.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

To me personally, it must have compatibility with SR-25 style mags to complete the look and move from the "cool" to the "do-want" category.
I suspect what we are seeing is a variation of the tube gun concept where the 700 action is epoxied into a 'tube' such as here http://www.tubegun.net/
