Agree. The Vari-Flame with BH209 changes the entire character of this gun. Unreal.

And the Arrowhead or Hankins take it up another notch also.

Very nice. Hadn't seen this, but seems more expensive for essentially the same idea. Law of diminishing returns??? I'm surprised someone isn't getting sued for patent infringement.
Yeah, CVA didn't invent it if i'm not mistaken so Arrowhead and Hankins should be cashing in
and It's quite a bit different actually. Be like a patent on a Bic Lighter. Worthless.

solutipn is simple, buy a
bullet seating swag designed for pointed bullets. because it is separate from the rifle you can leave it screwed in. i have a short 1/2 inch model that works fine. i love it. longer falls together like a blind mans cane and leaves the barrel clean so no screws needed
The ramrod is not threaded that it comes with.
Ram rod is the weakest part of the package. I broke the elastic band on my first time out (stuck on bullet). I glued it together and carry it in my pack.
The ramrod from Arrowhead Rifles is a much better alternative. Just an fyi.
I also just purchased the Arrowhead breach plug and module system and will be testing with it next week. Much nice than the Hankins I had and I'm assuming performance will be the same.

I bought an MR-X this past year, had some issues getting it setup and to lock up tight but once that was figured out everything worked fine. Took some load testing to figure out what it likes and is now around 3/4" @ 100yds using 3 White Hot Pellets and 285gr Hornady bore drivers.
The ramrod is trash, and my broken one went in the trash. I have just been using a brass range rod that breaks down, I need to get a better one though. Otherwise no other complaints. It is MUCH faster to reload than the old Knight DISC I have.

I have read a lot about the LR-X .45 having accuracy issue but I just got mine a month or so ago, put a set of williams western precision sights on and worked up a load of 777 (120 grains by volume) behind a 285 ELR and getting 1" groups. Going to stretch it out to 200 yards next trip out but so far it is shooting great! Must have picked up a good one!
You have to purchase a separate brass jag for the tip of the ramrod or the bullet will get stuck in the screw hole threads. Problem solved. CVA should've included this with the gun but they don't.
The ramrod that came with the 2 Acura 45 LRXs I own have no threads and have an internally contoured tip that's permanently installed, no threads at all. It's specifically for seating bullets only and is collapsible, it's carried in a case that you can put on a belt or on a pack. It's not a 1 piece ramrod with a threaded end. The tip of the rod is NOT threaded so a "jag" is useless in my situation on the factory rod. The tip of the rod has a permanent bullet seating tip built into it. I've never had an issue with the ramrod seating Power-belt bullets they say it's designed for.

My new accura LR-x collapsible ramrod is threaded and I have the tip that comes with the ELR .45 bullets on it. Works great for seating bullets.
