  1. I copied the info that I posted in the R1 section of this forum at the bottom of this post: there's some info in the original post that might help you out. The only mags I use are the 30 round Bushmaster metal mags. ~1200 rounds thru the rifle since I bought it late 2010 and still no malfunctions. The Bushmaster mags drop freely when I hit the mag release and no probs seating them in the gun as long as I only load them with 28 rounds. Since my original post below, I ran another 200 rounds thru it last month (~100 of Hornady TAP 55gr, and the rest were PMC and Federal American Eagle also 55 gr). Today I ran another 500 rounds thru it - No malfunctions (primarily shot Federal American Eagle with some PMC mixed in), very accurate with fast accurate follow-up shots. I could shoot that rifle all day.....well....I guess I did!! Below is a copy of what I posted in the R1 section of the forum. Good luck and I hope you get the feeding problem fixed b/c the riflle is awesome! ______________________________________ I haven't seen very many posts about the MR1....so I thought I would post a few of my thoughts. I purchased one b/c although I like shooting AR-15's, I just never really cared for the placement of the controls (safety, mag release, etc.). I was looking for a good reliable home defense gun - my husband uses a pump shotgun. I like the sg....but it's a PITA for me to run with a light on it at night. So.....those are the reasons I decided to go with the MR1. The controls on the MR1 are right where I like them - more efficient than an AR....at least for me. I've put about 500 rounds thru the MR1 so far...& knock on wood....no malfunctions. Been using PMC and Federal ammo. I plan to run defense ammo (Hornady TAP) thru it next weekend. I lube up the bolt really well (Slip 2000) and keep the piston dry like the manual says. The piston is a PITA to clean, but the rest of the gun cleans up quickly. I've been using bushmaster metal mags in it - no probs with those. I've seen some complaints about the stock and trying to add a sight to it. I added an Aimpoint CompM4s and found that adding a Blackhawk cheek pad to the buttstock worked out perfect to be able to get a nice cheek-weld. Without the cheek pad, that was about impossible (was more like a chin-weld!). I also added a Beretta Storm rail to the front - used loc-tite to hold it in place. That rail fits perfect and I've been using that to add a TLR-1 light or I've also used it for attaching a grip-pod for some of the shooting classes I've taken. So far for me.....it's very accurate, dependable, and fun. Other people that have shot mine have also really liked it (both the guys and the gals). My only complaints are 1. I wish I could change out the buttstock (but I've made it work with the cheekpad addition), 2. I wish replacement parts were easier to find, 3. when adding a red dot sight, no ability to co-witness iron sights and 4. the manual sucks. But....the positives definitely outweigh the negatives! Here's a video of me shooting it. I hope others are enjoying theirs as much as I am enjoying mine, and will share their experiences/suggestions. http://www.youtube.com/user/karategirl3030?feature=mhum
