Welcome to the Next Generation of Mossberg!

I think it's great, reasonably priced AR15, nothing wrong with that.
Thanks for sharing.

Not to mention the hassel to get a STATT, to get it to "someone".

The upper isnt the registered part, so no hassle.

Not to mention here in British Columbia all new LTATT's are good to go for taking your restricted to the gunsmith for repairs or work and even the US border if leaving the country with it for some hunting or competition.

Nice to have a US made AR under 1K

Can I ask why? A serious question.

Quite frankly, I think the forward assist is a solution to a problem that doesnt exist. Or for the pessimist: a solution to a problem that makes that problem a bigger problem.

I prefer a forward assist for two reasons. One is that proper drills for clambering a round includes using the forward assist.
The second is that if you have a tightly pinned mag, sometimes the bolt does not fully lock on the first round.

What are the specs on the barrel and BCG?

Can you get any in the mossy oak camo?

Competition for the DPMS oracle. Always nice... But I do miss the forward assist, flash hider, and I am not sure about the grip

Not being an AR owner, How often do you use the forward assist?

Honestly not very often for most people. However if for some reason the bolt doesn't completely seat, it is handy to push it into position.
It is like performing a press check before a competitive match, I like being sure that my bolt is in battery....
(Still do a press check though. Just hitting the assist does not guarantee a round in the chamber)

All the people commenting on the hunter name.

Are you that dunce? This is an AMERICAN firearm, where they can hunt with it.

 

[Stephen1546]

I'm not going to sugar-coat it; that's the ugliest AR I have ever seen.

 

[slipper]

Ugliest AR? Check out the AR thread here and check out what some of our um metrosexual members are doing to these guns! you cityots are out to lunch.

 

[lone-wolf]

If I didn't live in a country where a conservative majority is all talk and no walk, I would love to hunt with one of those.

Here's a couple of reviews on the MMR, might help people get an idea on these rifles and addresses the dust cover and (in my opinion,) the non-issue about the missing forward assist.

Looks cheaper than a norinco, stock is too plain Jane. Should be $400 rifle

 

[luke s]

really? show me where you can get a stripped upper and stripped lower and barrel for $400. not to mention LPK, BCG, gas system, stock/buffer, handguard

Don't get the Mossberg bashing either. My 930 is a beast.

Thats cauz you haven't used a real semi yet... Converted 2 people from 930's to SX3's///

 

[terrible tony]

if this thing was non restricted i'd be dammed tempted .

You'd be crazy not to jump all over it if it was non restricted.

Prefer this over a T97 any day.

 

[Mermaniel]

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what's up with that ugly pistol grip? Am I missing something here?

Looks like its integrated in with the trigger guard. Hopefully it can simply be removed and a normal trigger guard and pistol grip installed.

We need more inexpensive everything in the gun world. These Mossbergs are for the people who will NOT spend $700 plus tax on a chinese made AR. Well have to see how it stacks up to the other sub-$900 AR's avail in Canada like the Windham Weaponry and DPMS cheapies.
