Nah, if it was late night adverts it would have to be some sort of special 'European steel'.
Because it costs more than $1500, which is at the upper end of what the average guy can conceive of paying for a rifle; also, they are bitter that it took so long and the cost increased. This is my speculation based on human nature.My one big question is just why precisely the gun forum world has decided to collectively crap upon the ACR,
In these aspects, for my use, it takes quite a design to even match the practical AR-15's I've built for 3Gun/practical use. However, of the new, non-AR15 designs, I think the ACR stands the best chance of evolving into that role.
So, this will end up like the XCR Just a footnote in history of some gun that a few people have that will soon be forgotten

the configurations offer a good selection of options
So you think that Bushmaster makes a better quality product than FN? Personally I would trust any gun that comes from FN with my life, I can't say the same about Bushmaster.Why people seem to think the FNH name guarantees quality is beyond me
I've handled the SCAR and I really liked the ergonomics and feel of it. To each his own.as the SCAR is a laughable joke of a rifle - the Belgians may have actually suceeded in making a rifle with worse ergonomics than an HK.
To be fair to Bushmaster, the barrel has a special proprietary lining that Bushmaster says is superior to chrome-lining. Given that several other manufacturers are already offering nitrided AR barrels, I would guess it is something similar to that.
FWIW, the dealer price for the $2400 one is still around $2000. I checked today at a distributor
Does anyone remember when Microtech came out with their STG 556s? They were retailing for nearly 2,000, now they're nearly half that. Same thing that happened with microtech will happen here.
I don't see any major differences between what is offered, and the original "masada"... It is actually remarkably similar all things considered, except for the projected price.
Really? Such as? Oh, 2 colors....
For example, it offers me a quick change barrel but for now I have no options in what I can change the barrel to. Where are different twist rates and maybe lengths? Well, that's on the "coming soon" list.
Am I supposed to buy the rifle in anticipation that maybe CMMG will offer barrels? Or that Bushmaster will introduce them later on? That's asking a lot. If all of these options become available at some point it would change things, but they are not there yet.

Hmmm very close to dealer price on the SCAR from what I understand (I could of course have been told incorrectly).
