Modern Hunter and Modern Varmint update Jan 22 2016

[alberta tactical rifle]

Is there any plans in the near future to have a few base models of each the varminter and hunter in inventory for sale?

We hope to be able to have some on the rack ready to go at some point, but for now we have our hands full just trying to keep up with the custom orders.

So, have you got any MV put together yet? For testing purposes. If so any reports to be made. And what happens to the test rifles? Sold as used?

Yes we have some already built for testing but to soon for any reports. Strangely the market for completely worn out guns is not big so we keep them for posterity.

Further to the warranty concerns.
We just got back a MH the complaint being failure to feed or eject.
It seems that despite pretty straight forward instructions from the manufacturer, ENGINE MOTOR OIL was used to lubricate the entire rifle.
The buffer tube literally had oil running out of it, which makes the buffer REAL slow in moving slowing down the bolts movement.
The motor oil also "coked" all around the gas rings essentially seizing the gas rings but also gumming up the rotation capability of the rotating bolt to the point that the bolt could not be rotated by hand.

THIS is NOT a warranty problem, it is clearly an operators lack of understanding and attempt to be creative when clearly creativity is not a good idea.
Photos to follow.

OMG. Who would buy such a nice and expensive rifle and then cheap out on lube? I hope he used synthetic at least !

I have a bunch of CCI # 41 primers. Will these be ok

I would be skeptical as they are hard cup primers intended for use in full auto machine guns that have 10lb hammer springs rather than 4 lb match triggers.

As promised now that Photobucket is online again.




Gee I can't for the life of my see why it wouldn't cycle properly?

g96 should be your friend if you own a MH.

G96 IS what we recommend, certainly NOT motor oil!

[Picatinny]

Yikes ^^^

That poor MH. I use Hoppe's 9 should I switch to G96?

Yes, use G96!

There is a manual that explains it. It's included with every rifle.
