Just received my MCR.
First impressions... from front to back
Buttstock looks like a magpul knock off or factory blem, while looking like a CTR, it wasn't smooth, QD didn't fit in it, and you see the magpul branding was kind of grinded out, but not all of it so barely read magpul still.
Ergonomics aren't as bad as expected, flipping the safety is a bit more laborious than with an AR
Trigger is much better than anticipated, seen numerous mil spec triggers be way worse than this
Bolt cycles nicely in dry fire
Rail allowed for MBUS and ACOG to fit without problems
Mag release works well and PMAGS fall without a hitch, 2 supplied mags sure look like crap, I'd rather have it without mags but have a better buttstock off the start, that's just me though
Lightweight and well balanced
Can't wait for the range test. Going out on sunday with a few boxes of XM855 62gn
For now I have put the following on it : Magpul CTR stock, ACOG 4x32, MBUS, MDT mlok QD stud
Really wondering if my trigger tech trigger would fit in there, would be nice.
While having a paperweight AR, may as well put some of it's parts to use!
