Lever release

[mag41uk]

I am toying with the idea of one of these.
I am not a fan of you know who!
I don't want to drag up previous issues either - I have read them all!

A couple of questions to owners.
1. Uzi or Glock?
2. Cast versus FMJ accuracy wise and best weight of bullet?
3. Should I wait for a Mars?

That's all.

#1 - none of the above
#2 invalidates the maker warranty - factory ammo only.
Weight of bullet would be down to calibre...
#3 = YES, but keep away from the Scottish versions of them (same as the regular ones, but deep fried in batter)

See if you can have a go with all of them before you commit. I have an SGC Uzi one and really like it. It was a 'must have', sat unloved for a while and is now getting more use.

Get a Mag Lula if you buy one, you're forever loading mags.

This references the type of magazine used not the manufacturer.

1. Glock (I have had zero issues with the Glock mag system on my LRA9, and mags are easy to find).
2. Only used factory in mine; 115gr FMJ works well for me.
3. MARS is an interesting piece for sure, but I prefer the AR15 look and layout of the LRA9. I also like to use a trigger for shooting only...

I have a Glock mag version. Fired 1000 without any issues so far, I bought it on here used.

Plated bullets are available in 123gr and 145gr which are cheaper than FMJ and not as messy as cast lead.

Was considering a VZ58 but as stated above, prefer the AR15 design and the lever mechanism is fast enough for use at my club and the RCOs views on rapid fire...

Thanks for all the replies so far.
I am still interested in any feed back on lead boolits in one.
I know all about the warranty thing but I wont be buying new!

I sold my Uzi mag version LRA9 to fund a VZ58 MARS and would do the same in a heartbeat. While the SGC gun has the AR looks (well, the Uzi version looks like the M635, i'm not a fan of the Glock versions appearance - or mag release for that matter), the mechanisms are worlds apart. While it's possible to get a similar rate of fire from both guns, it's far, far easier with the MARS. Of course if you're not going to use it that way or for action/IPSC style shooting thats not really an issue.

Can't answer the cast/FMJ question though as i fed mine on 124gr & 147gr PPU, 124gr Geco or mil-surp FMJ
