Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Magazine compatibility Benelli MR-1 & puking AR mth (?)

Was noted in recent glowing review of this 223 that it came w/a 5 round magazine (for marketing reasons) and some, but not all std AR 15 mags would fit.
Happy to report that the basic Brownells 20/30 rounders work just fine.

Also good write up in new G&A on the direct impingement ARs and all the stories surrounding them. Never fought with one but the four I owned have never hiccuped on the range or in the hunting field. Good read, be interesting to hear from some who have carried it in harm's way.





Guns and ammo.... yep I'd trust that, just another rag trying to sell the newest guns for the manufacturers.

Nice to know there is some compatability, but I'd think that the MR1 isn't built correctly in the mag well if it won't take all AR mags then. The brownells are certainly good mags and if they fit, then all AR mags should fit fine. Might be another flaw on the MR1.

Lets see now aren't they under the beretta company too IIRC?

Now that sounds like a real quality weapon right there.

It sure looks to me like theres alot of room for dirt/debris to get in that receiver, even with the bolt closed.

Handled an MR-1 in my local gunshop last week, very unimpressive. It was one poor handling (not to mention ugly as sin) weapon. Can't imagine they will sell many . . .

The reason all AR 20/30 round mags won't fit is covered in the story. You can read it there if interested. Amazing how we have so many experts that dump on the gun publications and YET have never been published anywhere. If you know so much and have so much unknown wisdom to contribute you might want to put pen to paper.

Insofar as liking or not liking the MR-1....that's up to you.
Nobody is selling it as a "battle rifle" although the ARGO sytem runs cleaner than any direct impingement system...ask the Marines.

"Handled it in a gunshop" is right up there with "looked through the gunshop window with that Zeiss and could see no difference from my Tasco." (GRIN)

Since I don't work for Benelli and own both ARs and an MR-1 I have no dog in the fight, so save the insults.

We own ya bitch

and you will see this cause ya gotta peek

Why 20-30 rounds? If you are any kind of a marksman 1 round in the correct spot is enough.

I would be embarrassed to paddle my boat, in the dark, alone......with that horrid thing.

Gawd, what a butt ass ugly "rifle"........

How's that lay-away plan going?????

Wilds, stop holding back and tell us how you realy feel....

Jimmy all you "own" is a big mouth.
WW, my boats all have motors so using a rifle to paddle is not a requirement.
JWP goin fine, 3 sold so far, how are your sales goin?

You douchbags think anyone is paying the least attention to any of you or is cowed by your childish behavior?

Were I not tied up with a copyright infringement issue right now, I might repost that list and all you could do would be to carry on like the keyboard commando wannabes you are. The very fact that you are "stalking" my posts just proves how you crave attention and mutual admiration. Sad truth is nobody cares about any of you and among any population of 20,000+ there are bound to be a few unhinged folks. So adios to this thread, see you when I want to and on MY terms. (LAFFIN)

1- I am reminded of the saying "there is a suck born every minute"

2- Apparently you do are you would not respond

And this coming from a guy that has been banned from "Snipers Hide", "As Real As It Gets" and even the "Campfire" under a different handle

Carry on wacko......

Wow, if folks pay what you wanted from what I saw, I"m in the wrong business again. Couldn't see anyone paying rape prices.

As to reading it in a gun rag, well there aren't many that I actually believe that are anything more than a sales rag period.

And some of us actually have a few articles around......

And no I have not seen a tasco thats better than my zeiss....

You must think you are smarter than everyone one here....you got some learning to do dude.

Oh yeah... in the nit world... its actually douche bag... not douch bag. Even spell check catches that......

I can't believe you guys are even responding to this cretin.

Awwww.....go [bleep] yourself cry baby.

An ugly ass boat paddle is about all that thing is good for.

You on the other hand, have absolutely no good use whatsoever.......

"douche bag" is two words BTW, and with an "e".

Haha you diaper wearin bitch i knew you would have to look

Oldman. just had to look. what happen to ignore we own ya bitch

I "wannabe" on ignore.........too.

Now that right there is funny.
