The All New MRC/S2H Marshall Rifle Now Available

Thanks for the review. I’m not in the dead cat camp. That serves no purpose on a stock that is built with the proper layup (McMillan) and oozes of poor craftsmanship. If I got a $4K rifle and it was a dead cat float job it would get sent back. Good on them for doing it correctly.

Ha! I literally am considering asking UM to widen the barrel channel while they have the stock. I’m not into it for aesthetics.

I wasn't aware there was a standard for proper barrel float and that too much was a detriment

Hey it’s yours man, do as you will.

Did you not learn your lesson the first time you tried changing something?!

That’s why I’d have them do it!

The action wasn’t “rough” or binding, but it certainly wasn’t smooth out of the box. I’ve racked it probably 150 times and it’s starting to feel much better. I’m told it’ll break in well so we’ll keep monitoring that. I will say the action feels very tactile — hard to describe, but it has a “feel” to it. It’s my first CRF, so that might be the case.

I know exactly what you are talking about. The MRC I shot at the school had like 20 rounds threw it IIRK and about 150ish by the time I was done. It is a very mechanical action and though was of zero hinderance, became very "smooth" by the end of me using it. Really loved the feel of it and how it shot..

If there's no contact I wouldn't mess with it either but from a component stock perspective I'd personally be happy if everything was a la manners LRH, grayboe, MDT CRBN, etc with an open channel for less SKUs, better availability, and zero concern that whatever tube you put in it next will fit.

Unless its classy and wood that is. All these soulless carbon, fiberglass, metal, and plastic furniture options can be tools.

@Imac45acp @Unknown Munitions Any kind of updates would be nice. The last one I got was over a month ago saying actions were being barreled. Rifle seasons are here. I don't know the breakdown of caliber orders, but so far we have seen a single 6mm in the wild, and it is currently on the way back. Is there an ETA on the remaining rifles? Will they all be shipped at once or are they leaving to FFLs in batches? There was a great amount of transparency in the original testing/abuse thread that I wish would be replicated here.

@Imac45acp @Unknown Munitions @Ryan Avery @Formidilosus
Any updates? Bueller? Anyone? I know I'm not the only one, but I'm 3 an half weeks away from a hunt I was really hoping to use this 6mm rifle on. If this is an unrealistic timeline, or even in the next two months, if there are more QC/mechanical issues, etc, at least let us know. Manage some expectations.

I’ve been away for a few weeks. I am not sure where they sit currently. I believe Ian is supposed to make an update at some point as I think they are proofing the barrels- but I haven’t spoken to them in a bit.
There is one 6CM ready that will go to the first person in line which I believe is @Bluumoon.

@Formidilosus Do happen to know how long it takes to assemble once the barrels are proofed?

A couple of days for finish, assembly, function and test fire.

All:


Had a meeting with MRC this morning. They will make an update by tomorrow afternoon. There have been several issues that were small and hard to find that lead to the rifles being slightly inconsistent day to day. The last two rifles out together function and group excellently, and were spot on in consistency.

I do not have any official part in the sells of these rifles, but I am doing whatever I can to get rifles to people, and for people that need them for the season. Being that people are in and out with hunts over the next couple of weeks I am going to be double checking to make sure everyone gets updated.

So... Everyone that had ordered an MRC, please PM me with your order and I will get an update to you on where it is.
