Show me your MRA Renegade and Maverick builds

[thegrandpoohbah]

Here's the current configuration of my Mk 1 Renegade. 14.5" Faxon pencil barrel under a 15" MRA SLW handguard. Scalarworks iron sights. Geissele Single Stage Precision flat bow trigger (2 Lbs 5.9 Oz 10-pull average). 5 Lbs 13.0 Oz as pictured.

12.5" MKI in 5.56. SSA-E trigger.
5lbs 13oz with scope.

Nice builds. Doesn't seem to be much available for barrels in canada these days if one wanted to build one of these from a receiver set. Would CBSA mess with barrels ordered from brownell's?

Mmmmmm.....shortbarreled in 6.5 Grendel. Something like 1-4x24 optic

I figure if you're going to do a Grendel, it may as well have some velocity like this 6lb 2oz setup. 18" Faxon lightweight match barrel. Has some sticky extraction:

That's ###y.....but probably out of my price range....

Stripped down an AR.

I got annoyed with the straight pull and added a pump….

Here are two Renegades, one is in .458 Socom and the other is .223 Wylde



Here is my Maverick in .338 Federal

Been thinking about pulling the trigger on acquiring one of these. This post may just be the sign needed to finally bring one of these bad boys home.

There is four or five Maverick and Renegade receiver sets on SFRC auctions and you might save some money

I'm intrigued. Do you have any details on how you accomplished this? How reliable is the pump action? Do you think having an action bar on both sides would improve it?

Very cool.

I'd love to see some video of it in action.

I tried 5 different iterations before I settled on the final product.

The final result was a piece of 2” PVC electrical conduit, split, heated and moulded for the handguard, then trimmed to fit. I then stippled the plastic with a soldering iron. The transfer bar is a piece of alluminum angle iron epoxied and screwed to the pump.

A second transfer bar would block the ejection port, so a single will have to do.

I’ll take some better pictures tomorrow and do a bit better write up, but all told I ran 2-300 rounds with 1-4, and I’ve only run 150 rounds with V5, so it’s too soon to speak about reliability etc….

This is one I'm putting together in 300 Blackout.

Thanks for the info. I though it might have been 3D printed and was wondering how it would be strong enough. The PVC makes more sense. Besides the action bar, is it attached at all to the handgaurd?

V1-3 I had tried having it run on “rails” inside the HG, but it was just too aggravating.

I have a buddy with a 3-D printer, I gave him a drawing of what I wanted, but the pump handle hasn’t been functional. So while he tweaks that idea, I moved on to this iteration.

The pump handle goes up to the top rail around bottom of the HG (if that makes sense), so if you remove the transfer bar from the bolt, the pump handle will simply be floating on the HG. It can be removed by sliding it all the way forward off the HG. There is actually nothing holding the pump handle onto the rifle, it just “floats” there.

Nice! I ALMOST bought the Faxon 10.5" 300 BLK barrel that is in stock at RDSC. Is that the ALG ACT trigger?

It is indeed, just cuz I had it on hand. Criterion 10.5 barrel, MRA V2 handguard, Magpul MOE-K grip and SL-K stock.

Ok, the is fracking awesome! I think I asked if something similar was possible a while back, but no one answered. Great to see someone actually make it work! Nice work!
