Build Your Safe-Queen into a Straight-Pull King

For those who still don't know, they can legally strip their AR15 down and use the barrel, handguard, stock (in most cases), buffer tube, spring and buffer, pistol grip, fire control group, safety, magazine catch and some pins and springs to make a Renegade Rifle, the best (modern) straight-pull bolt-action rifle in Canada.
 
Any standard AR15 collecting dust as an (obviously evil) prohibited weapon can be stripped of its parts (making it no less evil!) and those parts used to build a Renegade Rifle.

Hi there, yes they take ANY AR15 compatible magazine. If you could use it in an AR15 you can use in in our Renegade rifle.

The accuracy guarantee applies to our MRA barrels. If you are using a donor rifle the accuracy is not guaranteed by us.

All Maple Ridge Armoury Match labelled barrels, 14.5ā€³ and longer are guaranteed to achieve 1 MOA or better accuracy in 3 rounds using match grade quality ammunition fired from a properly built rifle from a fully supported shooting position.

What would you consider to be match grade ammo for the Renegade with the 19 inch barrel? Also that's 1 MOA at 100 yards correct?

Thanks do you have any of that 223 77gn in stock?

Not at this time unfortunately. Generally we are finding that 5.56 mm ammo of all types is very scarce these days with production being diverted to certain conflict areas and certain countries prioritizing building up larger stockpiles for their own militaries.

Every once in a while I think one of these with a 14" barrel would be a whicked brush hunting gun for the island

I had one with a 9.5" barrel and fixed stock. Was a decent package, just over 27" in minimum OAL.
Lot louder to cycle than a traditional bolt. Worked well for target shooting, but that's pretty much it.
After about 600 rounds in I started having cycling issues from damage in the receiver itself, where the cam pin makes contact to rotate the bolt face. I ended up shelving it and the ruger ranch took its place after.

Was a good novelty gun though.

These style of rifles look neat, but what exactly is it that a bolt action rifle using semi automatic rifle parts does better than a traditional bolt action rifle? Especially at the price point these receiver sets are going for. I just donā€™t see the appeal of taking a good functioning semi automatic rifle apart to make a bolt action out of it. For the cost of the receiver set itself you could go and buy a used 5.56 bolt action rifle that would likely outperform this style of bolt action. I just really donā€™t get it. Is it the tacticool factor?

Some people have 4-5k worth semi auto rifles that they used in competitions. one of my IBI barrels for example was 980$ 6years ago. Receivers like this give no advantage except they let you use existing parts. You may see it as a 800$ receiver that is more money than some cheap bolt guns, but some of us look at it as 800$ to use 5k in parts that are otherwise sitting on the shelf unused for the near future. That along with as you noticed, optics and magazine compatibility amongst other things.

IF the laws change again, we just do the part swap again and what to do with the receiver is a later problem. I know some people that have monthly lease payments that are more than the receiver :D

Also my personal favourite part where you deny the government the pleasure of taking any firearms off the street, by simply turning it into another firearm. $800 is just about the right price for me to stand their with both middle fingers up at Ottawa.

If you want to bring/send that rifle in for warranty work it would be our pleasure to fix it up and get it running again.

That choice was offered to me in the past, I did had it sent in the first time, the second time Ryan dealt with it himself, when it happened again the third time in two years, we ended up stripping the receiver for all parts and using it as a target 'gong'.

It currently sits on a shelf on the reloading bench looking like a bent piece of swiss cheese. I have considered buying one of the newer gen receivers at some point however, I'm assuming the issue was with a specific Gen1 batch I got or just QC on my receiver as I have only seen four other people complain about jams like that since you guys launched them.
 
In my experience the Renegade is a bit of a crap shoot. My 300BLK had extraction issues from day 1, even tried super light reloads and still sticky extractions.

So I spent a pile of $$ converting it to a 22ARC with a Faxon bolt and match barrel. Well... wouldnt you know it! Can't extract the rounds on that either. Right now it's a pricey paper weight! šŸ˜”

As always, if it something wrong with the MRA parts you qualify for warranty work. We can take a look and try and figure out what parts need replacing to get it working.
