Would be nice if they offered a better stock design with a hinge and locking mechanism similar to that of the Swiss Arms 55x/HK G36/UMP/FN SCAR-type design.
Overall, I like it and think this will make the XCR a very appealing option.

We are working on a new stock design which we hope to have available before the new year.
It will feature a locking mechanism, adjustable length of pull, and an adjustable cheek piece.
It's nothing like competing designs, and gives the XCR a completely new aesthetic and level of functionally we think current and future prospective customers will respond positively to.
We have a prototype of the new stock on an XCR Micro sitting in the engineer's office, and it is certainly eye catching kit.
AESIR,
Sir- The stock sounds really interesting. I'm more Special Ed. than Special Op., but I worry that such a stock might be too complicated? I know the SCAR/ACR stocks have that kind of functionality, but the folding SIG stock on the Classic 556 rifles do too. It seems that in the Sigs case, a regular swing stock with clean lines is preferred over the adustable LOP model. I have not handled a XCR (Yet ;) ) but I really like the simple lines of the current stock. I would hope that the current stock design could be updated with the hinge design and have that offered along side the Uber Stock.
Is the barrel attachment method be re-evaluated also?
Thanks
Is it just me, or is that soldier wearing a ROTC patch?
The new stock design is not complicated at all. It's actually quite simple, easy to adjust and very robust. Durability will not be lost for the sake of additional adjustment points
As for the other questions, we appreciate the feedback. Please keep an eye on our website for updates on future developments.
A couple of quick Micro pics, and a PDW pic.

Terra posted a pic of this on another forum, and I had to swing by and get a quick shot on my lunch break
