// About this barrel

Built, converted, gauged.

A 14.5″ SOLGW barrel in 6mm ARC, 416 stainless with a 1:8 twist, converted to the LMT® MRP™ barrel interface. 6mm ARC puts a high-BC six-millimeter projectile in an AR-15-sized receiver, and this length suits a handy carbine under an MRP-L handguard.

The RIFLESPEED Gas Control is installed and pinned before shipment — twelve numbered positions with a tactile click, adjusted by hand without tools and without pulling the handguard. Fitted and tuned with the #887 plunger, optimized for 6mm ARC, with the standard #917 plunger included so the gas system can be configured further by the shooter. The plunger and setting are recorded on the barrel inspection record.

6mm ARC runs the 6.5 Grendel case head, not the 5.56 bolt face, so this barrel needs a Grendel-pattern bolt — the bolt changes, the carrier does not. A matched bolt group can be added and gauged to this barrel.

Converted to the LMT® MRP™ barrel interface, then inspected, gauged and assembled by the Second of Ten build team to a documented standard. Installs with the MRP™ upper’s factory barrel hardware — no proprietary tooling and no permanent modification to the receiver. Headspace is gauged and recorded on the barrel inspection record before shipment.

Ships shooter ready: gas tube installed and the muzzle protected by the SOT Standard Barrel Thread Protector (CNC-machined steel, black or nitride finish), with no muzzle device fitted. We carry muzzle devices from a number of manufacturers and can install and time them for you — for a specific muzzle device, please ask before ordering.

// Before you order

Fits LMT® MRP™ upper receivers only. Cut for LMT® MRP™-pattern upper receivers only — it will not fit a barrel-nut upper. Rail length governs clearance; tell us your receiver and rail and we will confirm fit before it ships.

Barrel under 16″. On a rifle-configured firearm it makes a short-barreled rifle. Since October 9, 2026, ATF no longer enforces NFA approval or registration for short-barreled rifles. That is an enforcement policy following the Jensen and Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF rulings, not a change to the statute, and it could change. Taking an SBR across state lines still needs ATF approval on Form 5320.20, and state and local laws on short-barreled rifles still apply. The firearm’s configuration, and compliance with your state’s law, is the purchaser’s responsibility.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Shipping. We do not ship barrel assemblies to California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island or Washington, or to Denver, Colorado, or Cook County/Chicago, Illinois. If you have questions, consult your local FFL.

Warranty. We warrant the conversion and the fit. A converted barrel is modified from its original configuration, so any coverage from the original manufacturer is at their discretion. If something goes wrong, come to us first.
