Yep... I'm thinking that they are going to announce it at SHOT for real this time (how many years has this gun been at shot?). Not avail next quarter, but I'm thinking shipping at SHOT. Or damn close to it.chrismartin wrote:You have been warned... You have 5 days to come up with enough scratch to cover the cost + a small (large) mark up.Fireman1291 wrote:

Right about right for when my tax rebate should be coming back.
God damn I want a 300 Whisper ACR. I like the AR but it doesn't ever really break down because of the recoil buffer.
Can you give some insight into the differences? I want an ACR, but if the Bushy is a cheap knock-off of the real-deal Remington I don't want it.rsilvers wrote:There is a Remington ACR and a Bushmaster ACR.

Not a cheap knock off- virtually the same, just that Bushmaster is doing the civilian sales (and police) and Rem Defense is doing the MIL sales, fed LE, International LE, etc..JohnnyC wrote:Can you give some insight into the differences?

Have no fear.

Kick Ass Design
He already said it will be packaging differences (color, barrel length, fcg, etc etc). I almost guarantee they are made in the same factory on the same line.JohnnyC wrote:Can you give some insight into the differences?

Besides, if they weren't its not like you have the OPTION of buying the Remington just like you have no option of buying an M16 (samples aside).
The real difference that I could think of would be that the BACR won't take a select fire control group.

the barrel is quick change, so who cares what they do. Besides they look a little off 16" IMO, like the need to be cut 2-4" and sbr'ed.JohnnyC wrote:I could easily see Bushmaster screwing it up with 1:9 twist and other sporterizing features. I want the closest thing I can get without a happy switch.
I do wonder if the fire selector will still have three markings or just thr two?

I agree.rsilvers wrote:I think 16 inch barrels look good as long as the forearm is long enough.
It will be weird having to SBR the upper, especially with the QC barrel. It doesn't make much sense, but then again SBR-ing a lower with a QC upper doesn't make much sense either
Gotta love the ATF.If they are selling these at SHOT, I'm buying one on the spot!
And I gotta say, its one of the purdyest rifles out there. It sure beats the hell out of the ugly ass SCAR

I like the length of the "basic" for-end but the rails on the "enhanced".RR wrote:Yes, the original polymer one.este wrote:Is there a forearm longer than this then?rsilvers wrote:I think 16 inch barrels look good as long as the forearm is long enough.
I would prefer a 14.5" barrel with a pinned flash hider (hey the won AAC so they should be able to pin the mount of your choice).
That's the M203 grenade launcher step right? I would assume they all have it, unless there is an HBAR version not yet released.bigbigpig wrote:I can't see from the picture... do all configurations have that M4-ish step in the barrel?
I see the pics of the longer forearm and it does look better, but I still think 16" is too much. Espescially with the suppressor mounted. I think I just prefer little exposed barrel. 12 or 14.5" for me.
... Looking at the "leaked" (lame) videos again, I wonder if the piston system can be scaled back to accept a 12" barrel? It looks to me like a pretty long stroke.
