MAPLE RIDGE ARMOURY - Setting The Record Straight

Victory Ridge Sportsman said:
The MRA Renegade and Maverick work extremely well with PMC ammunition. In fact, all MRA rifles are test fired at the factory with PMC ammo. With that said, the Renegade and Maverick do require a break in period of 10-20 rounds to get the action running smoothly. The first few rounds through each rifle may have a difficult extraction but once the rifle is broken in everything is smooth.

We have experienced very hard extraction with Hornady ammo and military surplus. We think the Hornady brass may not have as much spring back as other brands. In this way, the spent brass case seems to stick to the chamber walls after firing making for a hard extraction. Also, the Renegade and Maverick will not cycle steel cased or laquered case ammo.

If you are experiencing issues with ammo after the break-in period, shoot us an email and we can help work through the issue. Of course all MRA products come with our transferable lifetime warranty all handled directly by us here in Canada.

I just finished a 22ARC MRA Renegade build and am having extraction issues on very light loads. (Hornady brass) I just started some test loads at the very low end of Hornadys load data and already noticed sticky extractions. May need to look at other brass.

Any chance of a pump action in the future?

I'm wondering this as well. I don't like the way the Taipan is setup. No user serviceable barrel, no AR buffer tube for an adjustable LOP, etc. I think an MRA Renegade pump would be a huge hit for more of a run and gun rapid fire rifle to compliment the straight pull version.

Anyone for a 12.5" Renegade pump? Take my money.

You say hard extraction with military surplus ammo.

Do you think it would work with IVI Brass surplus 556 ammo, if I installed a Colt chrome lined barrel and chamber (that worked fine with this ammo on my AR) on one of your receiver kits?

Cheers

One thing that I didn't see mentioned anywhere, by anyone, is that the Renegade comes equipped with that little adjustment screw to eliminate the wobble between the upper and lower. That was a nice surprise.

Actually, after doing some research, I think a forward mounted charging handle would be a much more reliable option than the pump action.

Most pump action rifles have a spring assisted action, which means you kind of have to let the pump go, for it to feed properly / reliably. So it is not the same feel as cycling a pump action shotgun which is kind of the point.

A side forward mounted charging handle would just be more ergonomic, as you still retain control with your pistol grip and still would be the fastest you could go while also being the most reliable.
