MAPLE RIDGE ARMOURY - FAQ

Will we ever see a 20 round proprietary mag for the maverick? I don’t own one yet but think it would be sweet to have a 20 round mag for it.
There is no firm timeline on our own magazines at this time.

The liberals keep banning more and more stuff, and if they can, they are going to ban ALL magazines that hold more than 5 for all types of firearms, even bolt action.
 
Is it possible to get a safety that operates when the hammer is forward? If so, what is it called? I have not been able to find this info anywhere.
There are some trigger groups such as the DPMS National Match and LMT Euro trigger that will allow engagement of the selector/safety with the hammer forward. Normally this is not necessary, as once the hammer is forward it literally cannot fire ( the rare exception could be a hang-fire, but in this case engaging the safety will not stop a hang-fire from firing).

If it cannot be put on safe then it is by default "safe" as the hammer is already forward and cannot fire.

Watch this video to get a better idea of how the trigger and hammer work:

IMHO: If the design was good enough for Eugene Stoner when he designed the rifle in the mid 1950's, and every army in the world that uses some variant of this rifle hasn't felt the need to fix, it then it isn't broken.

All the more reason to start pumping them out. Get them in the hand of LGO so we can loose them in a canoeing accident lol
 
FAQ: What does MKII mean? Is that the name of the rifle?
  • Mk II stands for Mark 2 and this is indicating that this is the second version of the RENEGADE design. The Mark 1 Renegade did not have a bolt hold-open, while the Mk II does have this feature (the Maverick rifle has always had this feature).
 
Regarding the hard/sticky extraction issues... has anyone tried reloading with small base dies to see if that helps?

Not to our knowledge. It seems to be a question of specs for the cases, and possibly an annealing issue? We are working on improving the lapping of each chamber to try and minimize this problem, removing some of the roughness left behind by the nitride treatment of the barrels.
 
FAQ: Why is there a gap between the upper and lower of my rifle?

The gap between the upper and lower of this rifle is perfectly normal; it has been part of the design of the AR platform since it was patented (in the mid 1950s) This does not affect the accuracy of the rifle, it is a cosmetic issue.
 
FAQ: Do I need to clean my MRA rifle before shooting it for the first time?

When you get your rifle from an authorized MRA dealer it will be well lubricated, and ready to go to the range. Yes, please do your due diligence and check/swab the bore before firing.

Please do not remove all the lubricant we put on the bolt and action, this is not beneficial to you or the rifle. The Renegade and Maverick rifles work best when well lubricated. We use a high quality gun grease to lubricate the bolt and the buffer spring for optimal operation.
 
Will you be making a QD buffer tube extension for ease of BCG removal and cleaning? I recall the JR Carbine had something similar and it too had to remove the buffer tube and castle nut to remove the bolt.

At this time no. This would add extra cost to the rifle, however it is being considered for future.
 
We are aware that Lockhart Tactical has been advertising that they can use the MRA Renegade as a basis to machine and manufacture a brand-new firearm through specialized processes, while claiming this results in a semi-auto rifle that is “completely legal” under the RCMP. These statements are not accurate.

To be clear, this is not a simple “conversion” of an existing firearm -- it involves the use of specialized tools and knowledge to alter material in order to manufacture a new firearm altogether. We strongly caution against pursuing this, as doing so could carry serious legal risks. Additionally, any modification to the Renegade of this nature will immediately void its lifetime warranty.

Please rest assured that we are addressing this situation through the proper channels and taking the necessary steps. We appreciate your continued support of Maple Ridge Armoury.
 
FAQ: What makes the Renegade non-restricted?

There is no gas system in the MRA rifles so they are operated manually as a straight-pull bolt action, no semi-automatic action = non-restricted
The MRA rifles cannot be “converted” to semi-automatic by adding certain parts or mix/matching AR15 or AR10 parts. These are dedicated bolt-action designs.
The novel design, while using certain AR15 or AR10 parts, is proprietary and the receiver cannot be matched with an AR15 (or AR10) receiver so it is not a “Variant”.

Taking a MRA receiver and machining it (yes this is what is required) to accept gas operation parts is effectively (and legally) "manufacturing" a new design of rifle, requires an FRT for sales in Canada, and would void the warranty on the MRA rifle.

Also the machining would likely weaken the receiver to the point of being a safety hazard, as the MRA rifles were specifically designed to have less material where it isn't needed for manual/bolt-action operation.
