Bushmaster is up to something...

[Jaws]

The barrels are not even cromelined.

I think they had a bunch of old M4 barrels laying around and found a way to get rid of them..

 

[Z-Michigan]

If they were M4 barrels they would be chrome-lined. They say something about novel wear-resistant coating. Sounds like nitriding to me. Nitriding is in most ways at least as good as chrome, probably better.

Or maybe it's gold plating, given the price.

I think the finish they allude to is allegedly Nitride? Which is supposedly better than chrome.

I will not pay that price unless the entire gun is finished in platinum

i rather have the ACR then the FN SCAR cuz the SCAR is way more expensive then the ACR, i was told it is close to 2 grand for one and the SCAR is close to 3 grand.

but i will pass cuz its still way above my price range , i am thinking about trading my Bushmaster for a SR556 but i will wait till i can sell my Bushmaster and save money for the SR556.

i am more of a Ruger fan then a Bushmaster fan.

Is reading comprehension not your strong point or are you just not into that whole "reading all the posts in a thread before throwing your $.02 in" thing?

uh, I think the entire rifle is whittled from platinum!

if it isn't...it's missing a good chance to be! WOW! That price is ri-dic-ules!

 

[Darthbauer]

I'm in the gotta have it crowd. I'll pay the price for the basic one and buy all the add on's later.

 

[Maverick223]

That would explain the weight.

This video on YouTube entitled "Hitler Finds out How Much the ACR Costs" sums up what most of the shooting public is thinking, I suspect. It's in German with profanity laced subtitles, so those who might give it a watch at work may want to wait until they get home . . . but it's also utterly hilarious.

Not impressed. Especially for $2500 not impressed.

Looks blocky and heavy. Sights look cheap. Not one significant advantage over an AR15.

Pass

you nailed it.

I think I cracked up at least five or six times throughout that.

Someday I'm going to have to see the original subtitles for that scene...
