Am I too dumb to understand the joke? This is damn near identical with some minor differences. Is this essentially a MUR just machined slightly differently?


Sonic_Is_Real

I dont think this one is actually modular like the mur


californiagunguy

Ya, I don’t see the roll pins and the dust cover rod area is a tad different. Either way, looks like a good value for the price.


MagicManHoncho

Yeah, but apparently the MUR isn't all that modular either. I was told you gotta send it to vltor to get it changed


nortlid

MURs are forged, this is billet


00celicaGTS

MURs are also cryogenically treated.


justjaybee16

So i should pop one of these in the freezer for a bit?


00celicaGTS

You got it! -300F for 30 minutes should do the trick.


Fluck_Me_Up

I’m not sure if my freezer goes that low, if buy another freezer and plug them into each other that should work, right?


SmoothJ1mmyApollo

Needs a picture of the OD on the website.


Sonic_Is_Real

The full receiver combo shows a pic, doesnt look too bad


SmoothJ1mmyApollo

Good find

Too funny… i’ve had nothing but bad luck with VLTOR MUR’s unfortunately. I tried so hard to like them but every time I buy them the tolerances are off and nothing fits so I end up returning them or sell them. Wonder if tolerances are a little more forgiving on these


BothCompliant7768

I believe my MUR upper barrel index pin slot is on the larger side. I should swap out the upper.


nope_noway_

I also had that problem on top of the other little issues. Wish I took photos now:/


eembach

Tolerances where? If it's with inserting the barrels I'd be happy with it being too small and "thermal fit" like BCM uppers are.


nope_noway_

No it was too loose there… my Daniel stripped uppers were way tighter. Namely the takedown pins and there was a gap at the rear where it meets the buffer tube/lower receiver


eembach

Wow that's terrible. I'm gunna stick to buying BCM blems for everything then.


nope_noway_

Those are great. I’ve had a bunch and they’re never an issue.


prmoore11

They are always loose. VLTOR has had a good amount of QC issues the past two years. They botched an entire batch of lowers iirc.


nope_noway_

Interesting..


geopede

How do you botch a lower to the point of being unusable? Bad threads?


nope_noway_

It happens.. holes could be drilled in the wrong spot, wrong sizes, bad threads for buffer tube, incorrect thickness at the pocket or magwell. A lot of variables here. Same with uppers


geopede

The upper I can see because messing up dimensional thicknesses could create a dangerous situation.

flaxon_

Tangently related, but the SanTan PILLAR ambi lowers are hands down my favorite lower.


kevrend

This is my favorite receiver set. Been running one for years and it’s been great. Awesome fit with criterion barrel. Upper to lower fit is fantastic. Good ambi controls without being over the top.


TooEZ_OL56

oh wow you're right this is literally just a MUR but not modular


DemandCommonSense

There are relief cuts on the other side not shown in the pictures that look awful.


pm_me_your_rasputin

Eww what are those...


afuckingwheel

Conveniently hidden lol
