John A invited me to join MO and post these pix here. He found me on UZI Talk.
I had been looking to buy an MVP 5.56 Patrol 16” rifle, but none were to be found. In the greater PHX (4.5 million) not one gun store had one. The internet was no help either. I went to the huge 3-day Small Arms Review Gun Show West in Phoenix and found exactly ONE Mossberg MVP rifle for sale. It was not the Patrol but it was the 18.5” MHB FLEX 5.56 Tactical. Since I was looking for a bolt host for my ’02 Gemtech M4-96D can (that usually resides on my ’79 M16A1)
that did not require threading the barrel… I bought it. I also picked up (from Dr. Dater’s booth) a Gemtech QuickMount “Jake Brake” QD muzzle device. I changed out the Mossberg pistol grip and butt stock with a Magpul K grip and a MOE butt stock with cheek riser. I am using my old Leupold Mark 4 M1-16X on an A.R.M.S. QD base + GG&G steel sniper grade rings. The Killflash completes the set-up.
I am looking forward to an extended range session to test the many different 5.56/.223 types of ammo I have on hand to see what the MVP likes best. With family + the holidays it will be early January before that happens.
I will post back with results.
