Bushmaster ACR (Magpul Masada) finally shipping...

[JaxChris]

Well it finally arrived. The ACR standard is now delivered to retailers. Too bad a 1400$ concept became a renamed and heavily licensed 2400$ rifle.

My biggest problem with the Masada has been the lack of customization available. You are pretty much buying a fixed packaged, similar to Sig and H&K weapons.

The SCAR did beat them to market and is actually getting military contracts... something the Masada failed to do because Magpul thought they should let Remington build the damn.

I think the ACR will be a footnote in the history of long rifles. They would need to make a compact carbine version (short handguard, short gas system, folding adjustable stock) that could be easily SBR'd and given either a shorter barrel or barrel cut down. But having these "editions" of the same product keeps the prices high because they are segmenting their manufacturing volumes.

They FUBAR'd this design. I like the Magpul original better and of course the better price. What happen to the interchangeable barrells to be able to switch to 7.62?

[JaxChris]

Only on the .mil version will they have that feature if I remember.

I like the LMT quick change barrel design. Now if they would only make a 5.45 barrel/bolt combo. But who am I kidding... I'd never pay those prices, and I'm hooked up good with Spike's. =)

The Masada was a great design, but I'm not buying a Bushmaster ACR.

I knew the price would jump way up once they got it.. they would have lost sales all the rest of there over priced product line.

I'll go with the SCAR
