Just purchased an MR1 ! Questions about accessories.

The Beretta tri-rail doesn't fit. I have both a Cx4 with the tri-rail and the MR1 tri-rail. Different mountings. Also, I think the $25 rail you note is for the CO2 version of the Cx4. It's made of plastic as opposed to polymer. -
I've searched around and haven't found any info on how to remove the butt pad. I've tried pulling and prying, but I don't want to damage it. I found a youtube video that show how to get the trigger mechanism out and he needed to loosen the stock bolt, but he already had the butt pad off. Any ideas ?

I've tried many different 'cheapie' plastic mags, even Tapco and Magpul ... they all seem to hang up on a drop release requiring me to use my off hand to pull it out and insert a new mag. Good quality metal ones just drop allowing you to jam a fresh mag in quickly with no additional motion.

Houts Enterprises LLC is offering an aluminum rail set for Cx4 They claim that the stock Cx4 tri-rail tends to fracture with use/abuse, so they made an aftermarket version for the Beretta Cx4 ... $75. Maybe they will make an aftermarket version for the MR1 if you ask them real nice.
-
You could probably make it work, but it would take some drilling and grinding, and it still wouldn't fit as well as the factory piece. I was going to do the same thing, but I ended up re-selling the Cx4 part and buying the correct Benelli tri-rail, part # 1167520.

It's a stock that has come from some Benelli model with a telescoping stock because the MR1 version never saw the light of day that I know of. It was originally prototyped as the Beretta Rx4 with a telescoping stock before it was handed off to Benelli for production. I believe that that option was dropped in favor of the solid stock to accomodate the recoil system. If it has been adapted from some other Benelli model, I would like to know which model stock it is, and what modifications were needed to make it fit and function with the inside-the-stock recoil system or the MR1.
-
Can you send me a PM on how to adapt the M4 telescoping stock to your MR1 or point me to instructions ? You had mentioned previously that it took about 5 hours of grinding, sanding, and fitting. While I'm up to it and have the tools to do it, I'd like to know what I'm into before I get started or plop down $445 for the M4 stock. Also, has there been any detremental affect to the recoil or sighting ? Would adding an aftermarket cheekpad extension be needed ?

I guess CA will need to find yet another way to tax firearms out of existence ... and they won't quit until they do.

Having both the MR1 and the M&P15, I tend to agree about the kick from a 'force' standpoint, but I do feel that the MR1 cushions it quite a bit resulting in a quicker recovery and less muzzle lift. The M&P15 takes a bit more time to get back on target as a result.

55gr No need to go heavier for plinking/target practice. Also, MR1 is rated for 5.56 NATO, so if you want a hotter load with 55gr, it will handle it.
-
Quick question before I buy one of the few that are left. Did it hook right up without modification or did you need to redo the damper and spring for the MR1 ARGO ? I'm hoping that it was a simple swap over of the stock MR1 parts.
-
I've been looking all over for one of these for my MR1. Where did you get it and how much ?
-
Please suggest me some optics for my new MR 1 rifle

It seems that you need to elevate it above the built-in sight, so you'd need a 1" stand-off rail. ncStar makes a couple different models. Does anyone have experience using a scope on a stand-off rail ? I would think that it would be kind of hard to do a cheek-plant with it up so high. And, I don't see any way of removing the built-in sights. -

Agreed re: hot enough to brand a steer ... Can anyone recommend an aftermarket shroud ? I happen to like my MR1 in .223 as is. If you want larger calibers, go with a standard AR frame ... but non-Benelli I do wish I could fit a telescoping stock on it. I've seen pictures, but I can't get an answer on where to get one. It doesn't look like the M4 stock, but if that would work, I'd probably give it a try.
