Maccabee SLR Review.
So I ordered a receiver set and didn’t know where to go with it. So it sat for a couple months while I did very little reading on it. Only because there isn’t very much info on them, so I’m starting this thread. I basically just went to Wild West Shooting Centre and bought what I could, the rest I ordered from Red Deer Shooting Centre (upper receiver kit, gas block and gas tube) and Calgary shooting Centre (barrel). Went really well for someone never working on an AR style rifle, I just followed CSC YouTube video. Couple problems I had was the trigger I bought first was a complete drop in that doesn’t work with the SLR. Second trigger I bought was a 2 piece and it works but needed some modification to the SLR trigger housing to rotate. Other than that, the rifle went together without a hitch and aligning the gas block and tube wasn’t as hard as I worried about.
I have about 60 rounds through it now and I feel like once it gets more worn in that it will be great. Haven’t shot it at any distances. I just put on a Leupold RDS sight, I’ll get out shooting it again for more accuracy type shooting and report back. Haven’t had a single feeding issue, ejecting issue, it’s a fun rifle to play with.
Magazines basically any AR mag works, I have 2 10 round pistol mags and 2 30 round Magpul mags. All work great
