MRA Maverick Rifle - 308win or 6.5CM

Twelve and a half with a muzzle brake is seriously rude! All depends on how much you enjoy that sort of thing. If I was doing it again I might try without a brake, or with a linear. Use double hearing protection please.

No chrono, so I don't have velocity numbers.

The two shots I fired out of mine didn't seem that bad to me. Then again, it was my backyard, not at the range and I wasn't standing beside it. I had a brake on it, but the brake had holes all around it so it didn't need to be timed.

The Maverick kit requires a very specific spring. Using something like an AR-15 spring in a Maverick would be insufficient to ensure reliable and safe function. This is why we include a specific spring with the Maverick and why we mention this in the owners manual.

Thank you for clarifying this aspect of the Maverick design and safety principles. We know that springs lose tension over time/through use, and that AR buffer springs are meant to be replaced when they've lost eg. 10% of their force. With respect to the design of the Maverick, and since safe operation is apparently reliant on spring force, what is the replacement schedule for the buffer springs? What signals can an owner/user expect to observe that will indicate that the spring is approaching end of safe usable life?

Well, I seem to be on the ignore list, but Canada Post attempted a delivery today. By the looks of the video it was a rifle. I'll find out tomorrow I suppose.

The spring we supply is powerful and being that the rifle is not semi-automatic, we expect a long service life of the spring.

I am relieved to learn that although the spring is critical to safety, that it also requires no special attention from owners after installation.

The safe and reliable operation of your firearm requires the same care and attention as any other firearm you own. In addition to the spring, the bolt carrier components, the fire control group, the fire selector, the barrel, the ammunition selection to name a few are all critical to safety. We recommend you take your firearm to a licenced gunsmith regularly for inspection and maintenance just as you would take your personal vehicle to a mechanic for regular inspection and service.

I was looking on your website last night and only saw receiver sets, do you guys offer full builds?

Yes we offer full Maverick and Renegade rifles but we are selling them as fast as we can produce them. We have another large production run that should be completed by next week.
 
I received my recalled rifle in the mail, but the safety appears to not be functioning. I sent you guys an email to your main address.
 
Does anyone else find the bolt locks forward ad you can’t pull it back?
It goes back about a half inch and locks…it does it intermittently in between cycling smoothly ��#♂️
