It’s finally here! Such a cool rifle. I kind of like the straight-pull action. It’s the 16”, and now I just need to get a scope, grip, tripod, etc.

I will say that it was really easy to fit the MRX magazine. It was snug at first, but after shaving off a little material with a sharp knife, it fit just fine.

I’ve had the chance to shoot AR-15s, a SCAR, and a Sig Sauer Spear in the States before, and I actually like how lightweight the MKII feels compared to those.

Any advice here from MKII owners?

I agree. Running the pull with my trigger hand feels more natural. Releasing the handguard feels a bit awkward, and I can definitely tell you lose your target. On the other hand, if you pull the rifle into your shoulder with your support hand on the handguard, you’re able to keep things stable and stay on target.

The only feeding issue I’m having is with the last round because the follower in the magazine sits a bit too low. I’m planning to replace it. As for releasing the magazine, you still have to give it a gentle pull. I guess if I shave a little more material off, it would just drop free, but there’s really no need. The magazine releases smoothly now.
