MRA Renegade Rifles, Parts, and Kits now available

Anybody running dual charging handles on these yet? For bench shooting I'd use the left side, but for hunting offhand I'd use the right side, any problems with one on each side?

I will let you know.

I am doing a build for a good friend in who has requested "Dual-Side" charging handles.

Based on the clearance observed with the two receiver sets I have worked with thus far, I really don't see and issue, especially when using a good grease.

However the only true test will be to try it.

We are planning on doing some load development as well and would be happy to share if intersted.

MRA, we NEED a 10.5-12.5" 450 bushmaster barrel and bolt kit. Just saying...

To the MRA Team

On the same line of thinking.............. You already make a 458 SOCOM Bolt & Barrel Kit

https://mapleridgearmoury.com/product/mra-v1-nitride-458-socom-bolt-barrel-kit/

I would be very interested in such a kit with a shorter barrel...................12.5" sound like a good starting place!!

This way I could actually use the mags I have for it (very big GRIN)

Just food for thought

I wonder if there would be a difference in ease of operation between 458 and 450. I like the idea of a straight walled case for ease of reloading, and the wide availability of .452 bullets.

Well straight walled cases may be easier to reload, however a case with a decent tapper will feed/function better, especially in a platform like the Renegade.

Such issues have been born out by those using 6.5 Grendel in the renegade, and finding that feeding is "STICKY" due to the straight walls of said cartridge.

I am no knocking any ones cartridge choice, and I just saying that in a platform with "Limited Cramming power for feeding" like the Renegade some choices are better than others.

Just food for thought

You would think that the Grendel would feed the same as from an AR15 as the buffer/spring is doing the same work in a Renegade as an AR?

I’m just speculating as I have not built a MRA yet.
 
Most of the .452 bullets are made for handguns, while the majority of .458 are rifle bullets, that is one reason why I chose the .458 Socom, because you can use any bullet that the 45/70 uses

Yeah, they feed the same if you just pull the handle and release. Def easier to chamber than with the LPC doing it that way, but it would be damn loud in a hunting situation. I'd think many people would 'caress' it home rather than pull and release while hunting. And that buffer doesn't help with sticky extraction.

A 12.5-14" 458 SOCOM barrel would be interesting, and not too muzzle heavy.

Good point.

Slug selection is definitely one factor to consider.

I think larger bolt handle would be a good solution for extraction. Like those Lantac rifles.
 
Where do we get those solid stainless gas tube plugs for FSB's to block the gas off? I was going to just make one out of a carbine gas tube and install it upside down, plug the tube with a tight fitting drill bit shank and crimp it to help keep it from collapsing, but heard about these solid pins which sounds much better and safer lol.
