Product Features
 
Compared to other similar products on the market, the lever arm of the MARC is:
 
A. Made of properly heat treated and nitride coated S7 tool steel
 
B). Proper dimensions on all interacting surfaces, most importantly to prevent binding on the trigger while the hammer is cocked farther back by the bolt.
 
C) Edges are rounded to prevent crack formation.

MARC-Compatible Triggers
 

This list is not exhaustive, and inclusion on (or omission from) this list does not guarantee compatibility in every possible configuration. There are many variables involved, and it is not feasible to test every combination.

Our standard test configurations are as follows:

  • Aero Precision Gen 2 Lower / M4E1 Lower

  • Standard carbine buffer tube with carbine spring and H2 buffer

  • A5 buffer tube with A5 spring and H1 buffer

Additional requirements:

  • An M16-cut bolt carrier group (BCG) is required. 

  • A low-shelf lower receiver is required.
    *If your lower is not already low-shelf cut, add "Gun Smithing" to your order. We will send you a shipping label send it in and we will machine your lower to accept the MARC trigger. We will NOT accept polymer receivers. Please only send your lower and if you're able, remove the buffer and buffer tube.

Your experience may vary depending on your rifle.

300blk 7.5" Pistol Length Gas- H1

300blk 7.5" Pistol Length Gas Suppressed- H1/H2

9mm blowback ARs
Without proper tuning will cause premature wear. We will warranty any that deform regardless (excluding negligent retardation), but at this time we strongly recommend a 10+oz buffer weight or a captured/hydraulic buffer (the heaviest that is available) with the MARC if you're planning on running it with a blowback 9mm. For a tuning guide with full explanations check out the following video from Blowback9 on Youtube.
 
 
 
In principle, the MARC does operate in a similar fashion to other products, but it remains legally and mechanically distinct due to the multitude of functional, material, and aesthetic improvements implemented by Cornfire Arsenal LLC.
These improvements reflect independent engineering judgment and upgraded material selection intended to correct what was consider to be inferior or unreliable implementations found in other products on the market.
The MARC design prioritizes durability, and long-term reliability.
 
Particularly because due to the life saving nature of the systems they may be utilized in.

*Firearm Functionality Notice
The above product, when properly installed and left unmodified, is designed and intended solely for lawful semi-automatic operation. It is not capable of automatic fire, nor is it readily convertible to enable automatic or burst-fire operation.

It is up to the end user to educate themselves on legislation that applies to their state or locality.
