MRA is saying their Renegade Rifle is Non-Restricted even when you select the 1 2.5" barrel. Sorry I'm new to guns and am wondering why this would be NR. I thought 18.5 inches was the shortest barrel length for a NR?

That 18.5" restriction only applies to semi-automatic firearms. Since the MRA Renegade is a straight-pull bolt action, that limit does not apply. I believe that the only requirement for a manual action firearm to stay non-restricted is that the overall length is greater than 26".

For the same reason, the MRA Renegade can take magazines that hold more than 5 rounds, provided the magazine is proprietary to the Renegade or only fits manual action firearms (I think the MRA Renegade actually supports BCL's 20-round magazine meant for their MRX Bison bolt-action rifle)
