Benelli MR1: Not Actually an AR15!
The Benelli MR1 is a unique semi-automatic rifle that, despite its AR-15-like appearance, employs a distinct mechanical design. It utilizes a gas system derived from the Benelli M4 shotgun and features a three-lug triangular rotating bolt, offering an alternative to the AR-15 platform for civilian shooters. While compatible with AR-15 magazines, its internal mechanics and controls, such as the cross-bolt safety and front-mounted bolt release, set it apart.
