Any ETA on the review? I'm licking my chops and my tongue is sore.
I bought a second hand first generation MPAR for a good deal at my local shop. I sent the rifle into MPA and they updated the rifle for me free of charge.
With the new adjustable gas piston I decided to pick up a suppressor. With a good sight and an adjustable bipod and running hornady .55 gr ammo, I had a new Varmint killer to tote around the property.
