Benelli MR1 5.56 carbine

Recommended Posts

I like the way it looks, but, I hate crossbolt safeties.. bleh. Still, it's good to see more companies jumping into the 5.56 game. More choices is always a good thing... and Benelli isn't known for making bad guns. I wonder if it'll accept PMAGs tho...

Beretta was originally marketing this as the Rx4. Like the px4(pistol) and Cx4(carbine), this was the rifle version of the series. I think there was supposed to be a Sx4(shotgun) but I could be wrong. There were issues with importing it and they cancelled the project. It looks like Cx4 components would fit this firearm. I wonder if it's reversable for lefty's like my Cx4?

I dunno about using a carbine for HD, thats why Im taking Chris's course in November....

Read an artical in the current Home defense(?) magazine which talks about why an AR carbine is better than an shotgun for HD.

 

Well I plan on using it as my "other floor" HD of choice, just havent figured out yet if it should be my bedroom gun or in my home office

It looks pretty fugly if you ask me. Stock of a shotgun, barrel of a Storm, and an AR mag receiver to fill the void.... The more I look at it it seems Benelli took the design of a semi-auto shotty receiver and shrunk it, then tacked on the barrel and mag well for a 5.56

 

Not my cup of tea I guess

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
