MRC asked to meet with the designers of the Rokstock project to discuss why it was designed that way and the possible use of it on a rifle. Jake, Form, and I met with them for over an hour to discuss the stock and then the new MRC actions and designs.
I am not a fan of CRFs, but Form is. They spoke at length about the design, reliability, and legitimate testing of rifles and equipment and the lack of real vetting in the industry—which they wholeheartedly agreed with. They asked if Form would do a long-term, legitimate evaluation of one of their rifles for 10,000 rounds—good or bad.

That eval is ongoing here


That rifle had some small factory issues, which are noted in the evaluation and were immediately addressed across the MRC line.

Through the process and performance of that rifle in multiple S2H classes, serious talks of a “Rokslide/S2H” designed factory rifle from MRC began. Reliability and correct function out of the box were paramount, followed by optimized design/features.


MRC, Form, and Jake will follow up with specifics- but the rifles will be unique in the factory world.

Glad yall are getting this kind of traction. A viable factory rifle that is a return to an old style mauser/springfield getup including the trigger would be wonderful.

I'm looking forward to this. I hope that all rifles will be made with fast twist barrels even on classic cartridges to really allow top performance for even the old cartridges.

I'm a huge CRF fan and everything about one of my newer model 70s other than the action is lacking. Cant wait. Maybe I'll scrap my m70 project dreams and grab one of these.
