Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

My 96 Mausers and M1917 all single feed just fine as they came from the factory. They just have more space around the extractor than the 98. I don’t think it’s a design compromise having a CRF that can single feed. If anything I think it’s just a design incident that 98s can’t.

If anything I think it’s just a design incident that 98s can’t.

In theory at least, if the extractor can snap onto the rim of a chambered round it could snap off the rim of a chambered round. I've never heard of that happening.

Its just odd to me that people get bent about needing crf reliability, but don't mind spring loaded ejectors, extractors that can jump rims, dinky little bolt stops, exposed floorplate latches, cartridge triggers, things like that.

Not that the MRC rifle has any of those things or that they really matter, just always was odd to me. Now that I own a model 70, I see lots of things about it that strike me as odd vs a military mauser.

How do the match burners perform terminally?

Dramatically.

I don't often read people using them to often but if they kill well is there a reason they aren’t used more often compared to say an eldm?

Because people don’t know about them. To our benefit.

You have any experiences with the 140 like @B_Reynolds_AK buddy had? Failed to open/frag and tumble, I think

Nope. All I have seen are violent.

You aren’t losing reliability in the MRC. It is 100% CRF with full rim engagement- the best of any modern CRF I have seen.

Was just listening today to a podcast of Frank's from June or July where the new owners of Defiance said they were coming out with a new approach to a CRF ... have you got to check one of those out?
