True. I have personal knowledge of five RARs, and every single one of them has extraction issues. Two belong to me, two belong to a buddy, and one belongs to a nephew.

They shoot well enough, but they will fail to extract. Not a "maybe", they will fail.


My Mach 2 has functioned perfectly so far; maybe 300 rounds. I wasn't crazy about it at first, but it's growing on me. Waiting for a break in the weather to try it at 100 yards. Maybe the lube is building in the chambers on the .22s.


Nope, after the first problems with extraction, I started a rather extreme chamber cleaning regimen, and it got worse, not better. The LR had several thousand rounds thru it before it started, the WMR, only a few hundred.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
