Word is that Remington is only manufacturing LE/MIL versions with select fire, Bushmaster is marketing to us lowlings.

I wouldn't buy an ACR with a 1-9" ROT barrel. If I'm going to spend $2k+ on a 5.56 carbine with proprietary parts, it's going to be an SR15E3. If the ACR were $1000-1300, maybe. I'm not dropping $2000 on anything with "Bushmaster" engraved on it.

LOL...the countdown should have ended with a big Fart! It would pretty much sum up the whole thing.

Apparently they are selling them in 3-Packs....That explains the $2700 MSRP.

I'd agree with the LE thing if I didn't pay taxes. Since I do I think it's still us who got fucked. :/

Wow i feel like a dush i blew off an sr-15 cause i was going to get an acr...

I think i will reconsider the e3 ROFL 1/9 and 2700 F that

I agree, and for someone who has at least one of everything magpul. And with all my rifles being tricked out with there stuff. I have to say WTF magpul 1/9 twist and 2700 for a plastic rifle with a grip I can not change out! It's time you return to your roots and make this a rifle for the common man.!!!! And F--k bushmaster I won't buy that s--t!!! I'll be going rem or nothing

Could someone from magpul chim in and explain what the F--k is going on?

tomahawk84 · Post by **tomahawk84** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 12:12 pm

At this point it is out of magpuls hands... whatever Bushmaster decides to spec the rifle with is whats going to happen same for remington.

With any luck it will come down in price within the next year or so and potentially will have some improvements. I think that is why you see them coming the way they do. It would be nice to see a spec sheet on remingtons version. potentially it will be more to "our" liking than the bushmaster version, but when will it be available... who knows I'll hold off on this weapon till i see some definitve results from either company.

who knows how the robinson arms lawsuit will go too.... that might make the ACR go back to the drawing board.

ALL OF THIS IS MY OPINION I AM NOT AN INSIDER!!! ROFL!
