CRed05 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 They feel like a toy when your holding it. Cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Waste of money, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Waste of money, IMO. I thought the same thing until I looked more into it. Ambi-selector switch/mag release, gas piston operated, no rear charging handle, and not to mention the initial design and most the furniture is all Magpul. I REALLY want to fire one, but from what I've been told, once I get my hands on it I'll want it. Question is, will it be availible in the multi-caliber configuration that it was initially designed for. Or do I have to wait for the Masood to come out. (7.62X51mm version of the Masada aka ACR) PS- I have a few AR's, just want a new toy in the vault. Would like to have an AAC can at the end of my barrel though.

BloodRed Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinergi Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 It's nice, but it's not OMFG have to have it. And it's still a Bushmaster so I wasn't chomping at the bit for it. I do believe they cost way too much money for what it actually is, but many manufacturers are doing it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 ^^^ That's what I thought too. A little pricy for being Bushmaster. Very neat concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Yeah, I would pay the $900 that SHOULD cost, but it really isn't much different than a $600 AR with a piston kit and less room for modification. F that. Especially since AIM is trying to get $2300 or whatever for them. That's like buying an $80k dollar mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a little more to it than that if you've actually read the conception to the production. I'm all about rifles that serve a purpose, not to mention the only thing AR about the rifle is the barrel, part of the bolt, and the fact it accepts M16/AR15 magazines. Don't get me wrong, I just bought an LWRC (in which I'll pick up in September), but I've been following this rifle ever since I found out about it. Personally, I need no reason to justify in it your eyes, but I bet I could bring the ACR out here to Afghanistan, and it would run like a champ. BTW, the FR500C Mustang is $125K, but it is an all out race car for a fraction of most Le Mans cars. It too was built for a purpose, yet I guess a $5K with a few modifications equates to the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they fall to the $1000-$1200 range like the 556 did, I'll consider. Right now, it's just the "new hot thing." I'd be a lot more interested in the .30cal version, but not for >$1200.
